Fraggle campaign for ever since I even heard Rubio’s name metioned in the same sentence as ’Nash".

I mean if it has to be done, Willie Chan needs to be left out of this.

I know the Wolves already have Flynn (who IMO = Nate – shot creation-krypton), but Id try to pawn off Nate considering the team drafted Ghostface Douglas.

Id rather have the team as constructed tho, or at least stay away from all things Rubio or Curry.

I don’t like players that can’t shoot nor defend (Rubio), I don’t like backup SG that don’t defend (Curry) and I especially don’t like non-athletes (Rubio AND Curry).

If anything, Id rather trade Lee when he can be for James Harden. I hope that’s as likely as this Rubio deal tho. I have no problem with the team as is but of course Id rather get some value for Lee and/or Nate if they have to go.

ugh… so brutal. i couldn’t read the rest of the article. i don’t man… whatever you say i may or may not agree… i gotta go

on how Rubio’s going back to Spain makes it even more likely the Knicks are gonna trade with Minny.

Unfortunately the deal that makes sense involves Willie Chan and not David Lee or Nate. The Wolves already have two 6"8 PF who don’t play defense, but those 2 are much better scorers.

Also Johnny Flynn is an incredible athlete and very short, so its unlikely a sign and trade of Nate goes on there too.

Hopefully teh Wolves simply just love 6"8 PF and take David Lee in a sign and trade cuz I really don’t want to give up Chandler for Rubio and I really like Jordan Hill (no homo at this point, I’ll see if he develops into the next Amare….then there might be some)

i like most of what you wrote, but the reason i figure they picked rubio 5 and flynn 6 is because with rubio on the higher pay scale, there’s slightly more incentive for him not to play in spain, whereas flynn would play for minnesota either way.

How about a potential 3-way deal between the Wolves, Warriors and Knicks where the Wolves get Curry, the Warriors get Hill and the Knicks get Rubio?

They are wolves, and everything they have said in the last few days is laughable. The only reason for it is for the grapple onto their last string of leverage, which is them convincing people they will keep rubio and flynn. Do you really think rubio will go back to spain for a year or two, just to come back to minnesota anyway? Shit will still be cold up there, he’s not going to play there.

Wolves GM Kahn learned from D Walsh, this was his first draft he was in charge of, and he drafted his man, Flynn. props to that, but when it turned out rubio dropped to them they had to take him, but should have abandoned Flynn as his main guy and went with a strong non PG next pick. Instead he is in this situation where everyone knows that he has to trade Rubio, and unfortunately for the Knicks he is holding out until free agency starts, and taking the time to build back up his leverage.

Rubio will be great, thats not the issue to me. But I want the knicks to keep Nate he is our energy, and the wolves seem to be holding out for as much as they can get, which won’t be until next week.

If you saw Kahns interview the the draft he looked like he just swallowed miss red riding hood

They took Rubio first so that they owe Flynn less money who they are keeping, why would they care about helping rubio with a buyout when he does want to go near minnesota? He wasnt even at the player introductions.

And as for Jordan Hill, he’ll develop into the next Renaldo Balkman not the next Amare, are you joking. We didnt seem to mind giving Balkman away, Jordan Hill is the same type of rugged unpolished player, except with more aloof big man traits.
