If we get a really high lottery pick, I'd go calling Chicago (Butler) and Indiana (George). I really like TeamRicky's guy in Philly too (Covington), although obviously I wouldn't give up a top 5 or 6 pick for him, but if we end up picking someone in the back half of the lottery, I would honestly consider trading the pick for this guy plus a 2nd rounder or two. He would look great next to Wiggins as a wing defender and rebounder.
Other guys could be Deandre Jordan, Favors (if they lose Hayward and hill), Avery bradley or crowder and a pick, Farhied, barton, pick. Wes Matthews and picks.
I have no interest in Faried-he sucks. Don't want Matthews either-he's over 30 and injury prone.
If Matthews is injury prone, then also Rubio is injury prone. Matthews has missed only twice more than 10% of the season. Anyway I wouldn't probably either want him since he has two years with more than 18 millions per year left in his contract.

Faried is really solid actually. He's been in a stacked front-court all year long only getting 21 MPG's and he has a PER above 20, his rebound rate is the highest it's ever been and he's scoring pretty efficiently and he's only 27. Olympic team Faried was a monster on the boards and defensively so if you give him his playing time next to some good offensive players I think he could really shine as an energy guy like Tristan Thompson for the Cavs only he's a better offensive player.
I wouldn't trade a top 10 pick to get him though. I haven't seen him play much this year. Can he guard perimeter oriented bigs or are you basically just getting an undersized center?
