Thank you, jester. That was my point exactly about the "stability" of NBA relationships and the absurdity of the columnist citing the girlfriend as evidence that Love is gone!

If Ricky is included in Adelman's quotes, then that is on him because Ricky has shown no improvement in his shot, so it would be more accurate to say Ricky has been consistently lousy. I didn't know Love's girl friend was the daughter of Disney corp. That makes it even less likely he re-signs imo.
Martin has been up and down scoring anywhere from 6 pts to 30 pts for this team, and has disappeared late in games. I do think there is plenty of blame to go around on this one though.
Tim, Bud has a very small sample size as you stated, but even with his better 3pt shooting over the last two games, he is still 14th on the wolves for TS%. Add that to his terrible D, and I think the criticism is justified. Maybe Bud will get better, but considering we continue to hear that players need to prove themselves in practice, I find it odd that he is getting the minutes over other players.
My point isn't that Adelman was calling out Rubio specifically. It's that he would primarily be signaling out anybody when every perimeter player has revealed significant flaws and inconsistencies.
Martin.
Barea.
Rubio.
Shved.
Brewer.
A case could be made that Adelman was talking about any one of them... or all of them. To assume it's primarily about one player is projecting our own personal biases. Hope that makes more sense.

Sorry just found it comical that people were worried about a guy in his early 20's about a girlfriend lol. I will say Kevin is a lot less of douche bag than I thought he be the one time I actually kind of hung around him. I'll shut up and go back to the twins board now Cam and Long ;) lol
