Johnny Flynn and Ty Lawson are free. Let's get the band back together.

Re: Draft Day GDT
Stewart to go at 16, Bey is available at 17. Oh well, Wolves probably wouldn't have drafted him.

Rather trade for picks in 2023 or 2024 when Gersson won't be here anymore.
Re: Draft Day GDT
The pick was Pokusevski

We're running a starting lineup that includes Ricky Rubio, D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, right? Like those three are all starting, I'm assuming.
Its for Rubios superior D....ugh
From a pure value perspective, trading the 17 for Rubio and two picks in the 20s seems like a pretty good deal. Rubio has been a starter his whole career and he's honestly probably gotten better and better every year. And the picks seem like a reasonable trade almost straight up. I feel like I've seen swaps like that often in the past. This feels like one of those, but with a starting-level PG thrown in.
I'm not thrilled with the backcourt logjam, and I'll be bummed if guys like Bey, Bane, and Terry are there at 17 but not in the 20s. But having two shots to get a decent player is nice to have.
And as for Rubio. I feel like I've gone in the opposite direction on this guy as most on the board. I was against us drafting him. I honestly thought the hype was way too high on him. People were talking about him like he was the second coming of Magic. But then after we got him, and a lot of the guys who loved him as a prospect soured on him as a player, I kind of went the other way. Especially his intangibles. I learned to really love the guy I was skeptical about. So I'm honestly glad to have him back in the fold. We need more guys with his kind of leadership and attitude on this team.
