Rubio is the main problem BY FAR

People take this place too seriously.

Too often.

HAHAHA!! LST tell us more about the great 3 point shooting prior to the injury heard around the world!! Nice sample size, all of 3 games! Lol. That one is hilarious. And to blame his shooting on that elbow injury is bananas. Shorting 37% or something, right where he's been every year in the league.
Just watch with an objective eye how teams are playing us and it's plain as day. Key is OBJECTIVE.

I don't know either of those two guys, Brooklyn freaked out when I jokingly compared him to George Karl less than a week ago and he's been swearing at me ever since lol, as for the other guy I'm not sure who he is, neither of them make points though they just insult

It was a much simpler time when I was the only assumed Ricky Radical. Those were
the days.

I don't think he was blaming the elbow for Ricky's shooting. He was blaming it for some of the drop-off in Ricky's overall game. Personally I think the drop-off in Ricky's game is primarily attributable to the way Thibs uses him.

But Ricky's shooting? Is is, always has been and always will be terrible.

My solution is to trade him for an expiring so we can use his money in Free Agency.

We have 35+ Million in cap after Pek gets medically retired, do we really need another 14 Million?

You got a problem with more money?

Rubio is not having a good year. But he's not "the main problem". Last year Rubio was third on the team in Win Shares and VORP. Even this year (a slow start) he's still 4th on the team in both categories. IMO, the "main problem" is we are relying on three 21 year old kids and are in the 1st year of another new coach/system. We all probably just have to be more patient and allow this to evolve. And I wouldn't be shocked at all if there was some sort of shakeup around the trade deadline unless they start playing better.

Is Rubio to blame for poor team defense or guys missing good looks at the basket? Those are much bigger problems than Rubio.

Here is my solution.

Package rubio and rush/hill/payne for one of the following:

A)Garrett temple, Omri Casspi or Darren collison, WCS from Sacramento - If omri, sign Jarrett Jack.

B) Greg Monroe, Rashad Vaughn and/or Tony Snell from Milwaukee - Sign Jarrett Jack for one or two years.

Or

Trade hill or Payne and rush to the rockets for Corey brewer or to the suns for PJ tucker.
