Smart man, but Milwaukee's not making that trade.

I know they are not. To bad we didn't do it last year at the deadline. Rubio's value has tanked. He needs to play better for us to get anything for him. It could be worse though. He could be injured.

They denied it then too. Middleton is what Newton asked for, and they probably laughed at him until he hung up.

I am ready to hand over the PG duties to Dunn and Jones. If we trade Rubio we need a leader to come back. This team needs that guy more then anything. That was the one thing KG did when he played. He made an impact on the team and think it seems like he really helped Towns.

Add Ricky Rubio for Greg Monroe as another trade I would do, though I'm not sure what Milwaukee would think about that. I do think Monroe's very available, though.

I think Milwaukee would jump all over that deal. Not sure I like it.

I would trade Ricky for Monroe.

Seems like a good deal for both sides, in my opinion. Monroe is quite a handful in the paint. They're not really using him and haven't seemed like a good fit for him since he signed there. We currently lack thickness at damn near every position. Monroe isn't going to be anything like a game-changer for us defensively, but nobody in this league is going to bully him physically. I'll tell you that with confidence. Only two years left on his deal compared to Rubio's three also.

I'm just thinking Monroe could be had for less than Ricky.

I doubt it, personally. Also, we wouldn't be moving any one of Towns, LaVine, Wiggins, or Dieng to make this particular trade happen. And I don't think Thibs would part with Dunn unless it's to get a premium player. That leaves Rubio and Muhammad as trade chips. Only one of those two have value and a sizable contract to match.
