Yeah it kind of is.

I would also trade Bud for Adrien if we could. But Adrien signed in China for the rest of the year. He can't be signed at this point. Sure would be nice to have his toughness though,.

How does that qualify as tanking? Rubio got pretty banged up in the Memphis game and he hasn't been cleared to play in back-to-backs, it makes sense to choose tomorrow's game over tonight. Add in the fact we'll get Bazz back tomorrow and it's a home game...seems like a pretty obvious decision to me.

Who says he hasn't been cleared to play in back to backs? This is Flip's decision isn't it?

I read some tweet saying he hasn't been cleared to play back-to-backs, too lazy to dig it up. The wolves radio guy said it.

If that's the case, my bad. But I haven't heard that. I think Flip is just protecting him.
