Rubio for Noels?

[AbeVigodaLive]

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.

Somebody floated this earlier...

Chicago:
Gibson
McDermott
#14

So Minnesota would lose Rubio, which sucks. But they'd gain...

Hield/Murray.
Gibson
McDermott
Sabonis
Conley (are the wolves willing to devote $20+M to him?)

Actually, I don't see Chicago giving up THAT much for Rubio.

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

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

Ummmm...

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.

I don't know what else to say about it other than... there is absolutely no chance... 0% chance... of that deal happening.

I know a team that could use that. The Minnesota Timberwolves.

Givony tweeted:

"Market for Nerlens Noel seems to be far overstated by some. More likely he fetches a late lottery pick in a trade as opposed to top-5 pick."

To which Bill Simmons replied:

"You're screwing up the Colangelos' next 5 leaks."

Lol good stuff

Believed the same all along about Noel's value.

Rubio being dealt right now is so out there. Will never happen.

Here comes everyone undervaluing Rubio.

If you can get a top 5 pick maybe, otherwise you keep him. He's too damn good.

Ricky is under contract. I would much rather surround him with talent, which decreases his need to score. BUT, is that what Layden and Thibs are thinking? No idea.

Amen brother.

Teague went for a mid 1st round pick, so it would be crazy that Rubio went for around the same. I saw something on the ESPN scroll last night which said according to their analytics, Dunn is the most highly rate PG the last 5 years coming into the draft. #beastmode

Surprised there's no chatter about the new Rubio rumor.

PHO: Rubio, No. 5 overall pick, and Pekovic

MIN: Bledsoe, Tucker

That's because you only planted the rumor just now! ;-)
