Yep Wolfson said he looked stronger lower body fat in some offseason event Tyus was a part of.

Obviously joking but Rubio is unlikely to be dealt especially if the Wolves aren't in a position to draft a guy. If all you get back for Rubio is a mid round pick I think Thibs is sort enough to keep him.

One thing I'm pretty sure about....Thibs is not going to want some rookie PG starting for him - or Tyus Jones for that matter - in a year where the playoffs is their goal. Now, if we somehow flipped #5 for Bledsoe and Rubio for Nerlens Noel (for example), that would have some credibility to it.

Ricky to Philly
Okafor to Boston
3 and Covington to MN

Draft Dunn 3, Bender 5

Dunn/Tyus
Lavine/Wiggins
Wiggins/Covington
Bender/Belly/Covington when teams go small
Towns/Dieng

If we sign a backup C, Dieng can start at the 4 and Belly bounces out of the rotation.

Philadelphia is giving up the #3 AND Covington for Rubio?

Ummmm...

Again, I just can't imagine Thibs handing the keys to a rookie PG....and I like Dunn!

I think there is only truth to these Rubio rumors if Thibs has line of sight to a Bledsoe trade or Mike Conley free agent deal, etc. That sort of thing.

God that would be sweet. Conley and Thibs seems like a match made in heaven.

You forget Colangelo is the GM there now and not Hinkie. Ricky is a know commodity floor general who improves the play of his teammates which is exactly what they need at this stage in their development. Colangelo wants guys who can play right away which is why he likes Dunn and it's also why he may like Ricky a little more. Maybe they want Bazz also, but that wouldn't be a tough throw in.
