Rubio, Bjelica, 31 and 36 for 6 and Landry. Fillers would need to be thrown in to match contracts, but essentially something like that.
I'd be in, I think.
I could see that happening. I could see Flip being in. I don't know enough about Mudiay to say if I'm in or not. His game seems a lot like Rubio's, and we already know Rubio can play well in the league so that leaves me hesitant. If Flip thinks or has word that Rubio's injuries will be reoccurring, then I would pull the trigger.
Ehh, not really. Mudiay's a guy that attacks the rim relentlessly and can finish with either hand. Already that sets him apart from Rubio. He's also not as good of a passer or has as high of a basketball IQ, but he's just 19-years old and very capable in both areas. I think it's more likely that Mudiay becomes a top PG in the league than Rubio does, which is why I'd probably do the trade.
Cam I think you are probably as high on Mudiay as anyone and sound like you have some knowledge. Nobody has made the case for Mudiay really despite the thread title and I am certainly not expecting you to make a case for him #1 I'd like to hear you make a case for why a team would want him at an obviouly later spot. If feel like he is a big mystery to me and it was only a few months ago he was one of the top prospects people were buzzing about.
The case for him is he is going to be one of the most physically intimidating PG's in the league. He's a big PG and Ford tweeted a picture of him having put on 9 lbs of muscle since the last time he saw him in person. He'll be able to get to the rim and his size should help him be a very good finisher. The two big knocks on him are his jump shooting and his lack of competition in China not really properly showcasing his abilities. If he cares about defense he has the tools to be a really good defender and on offense he seems to be a pretty good stat stuffer all-around. He's tough to gauge, but it sounds to me like he's a John Wall type who is probably a tier below Wall across the board.
Kind of sounds like Eric Bledsoe, except maybe more geared towards offense than defense

Bledsoe probably would have been a top 5 pick if he were 6'5 200lbs.
