Keep Ricky in Minnesota

The *only* Rubio-to-Milwaukee deal that I would have done was...

MIN: R. Rubio = $12.7M

MIL: O.J. Mayo, G. Antetokounmpo = $9.95M

That's a deal I could get excited about.

I think you forgot about Kris Middleton

I have never heard of that guy. I have heard of Khris Middleton though.

Spell check? Is that what we have devolved to? Man you really burned me on that one

I thought you could appreciate that. ;-)

Ricky can keep a defense honest off the dribble. Hopefully the next coach doesn't spot him up all game and run a bunch of iso.

And hopefully he can work on his lower body which should theoretically improve his sliding shooting percentages.

Adlemans system was a lot of ball movement and lack of Iso's and Rubio was the same player in that system as well

Adelman took the ball out of Rickys hands a lot especially towards the end and Love had a good share of iso late in games where so many are worried about Ricky's shot. So is spotting him up a good idea? No its not his strong point. Besides running Love out 35 feet and spacing the floor didn't work either. Same with Wiggins. Should have kept the ball in Ricky's hands. Pull up jumper or beautiful assist to one of our finishers. I prefer those odds.

Rubio wouldn't shoot! To be fair, Martin or Brewer didn't want to either, but Adelman taking the ball out of Rubio's hands? Why would he do that? Is there a reason besides "he hates Rubio",which seems to be the go to whenever you speak ill of the man

To be fair, I didn't realize Adelman spoke ill of Ricky. Either way Adelmans sets moved Ricky off the ball usually fairly early in the shot clock.

So your assumption is Adelman ran the perfect offense for Ricky the 1st three quarters that led them to huge leads and have one the top offenses in the league, but when the 4th quarter came, he changed everything and took it away from Rubio's hands. Is that what your saying? If not please correct me to what you are saying

Not at all. As Adelmans tenure here ran on, Ricky s role changed or at least that is what I saw. Unless you are specifically asking about crunch time when Ricky's shots are apparently killing the team. That was Love iso time and was often a contested deep bomb. It wasn't a quarter to quarter evolution.

Ok Why would Adelman change Ricky's role as he went on?

I'm starting to think he hated him.

I think either Rubio for Giannis or Middleton are fair exchanges in isolation. The problem I have though is who the hell was going to play PG for us!?

This is yet another reason we need to go find a solid backup. Whether we keep Ricky or trade him eventually for equivalent value to help the roster elsewhere, we need someone that can run the damn team!

[Porckchop]

If we trade Ricky for a player that plays a different position how the heck do you expect to maintain a 20 games below .500 record? Thats a terrible idea .

I guess the idea would be to run out LaVine/Miller/Jones for the rest of this season and address the PG position in the off-season. Or maybe we got MCW back in the trade and let him start games the rest of the year and delegate him to bench PG for the following year.
