Yeah, that frontcourt is frighteningly athletic. Could not think of a better organization and player to mentor Achiuwa.

Still like following guys for Wolves at 25/28:

Woodard
Bey
Tillman
Oturu
Perry
Carey
Reed

Lot's of big's out there that could get minutes.

Tyler Bey

Wolves can get 2 or even 3 of these guys

I don't think we have room on our roster for three more draft picks - or even 2 more.

I can respect this take. However, when it comes to Rubio, my heart trumps my brain. And I think he will help more than hurt and certainly do more for us in the short term than any player we could get at #17.

Now I'm going to pose a real tough one for you Cam: Aaron Gordon or Rubio for that same package? Which would you prefer?

Do we trade our 2 1sts for a bunch of seconds so we can sell them to pay for rubio?

Sweet. Rubio fights to enjoy for two more years on this board!

Bey, Woodard, and Reed.

We need athletic potential bigs.

I mean, it is going to be a 2 year project.

I will have a hard laugh when the Warriors get our top 10 pick next year.

I know you're asking Cam. But my answer is Gordon, although my first choice would be neither. And I love Rubio, but agree with Cam that he's not the right fit for this team at his salary at this time.

There is no comparison. Ricky's defense is so much better than DLO. DLO has been benched by multiple coaches for his poor defense.

Yeah 5 years ago you're right.

5 years ago i was right, 4 years ago I was right, 3 years ago i was right, 2 years ago I was right, last year I was right and now, I'm right. DLO is atrocious on defense.

So is Rubio. So slow. He's always looked great statistically relative to his shitty units.

Now you are being irrational. There isn't a single NBA coach, player, or front office person who would agree that Ricky is a poor defender....and certainly not as bad as DLO. Get a grip.

The one good defensive team he was on wanted him out. Every other unit he has been on has stunk. Great defenders elevate the team, Rubio has never been capable of that by any means and now he's older and even slower. I know his stans will never blame him for how bad his old wolves units used to be or how bad our d will be next year. He's always been seen in the rose by those who love him.
