Didn't you hear though? He hoarded two PS5's so he can rip off some poor kid's parents paying double the retail price.

So how does Ricky fit into this team? I consider him as backup PG, playing big minutes with DeAngelo at times though.

Does anyone know his contract? Seems redundant, and a waste of $$$$. I would rather have Precious.

Ricky has two more years at 17 million - hate the trade - I imagine Johnson has to be involved, so we got another year at 17 million, yikes

HE is owed $17 million this season and $17.8 million next.

meh. James Johnson (who I'm thinking is part of the deal) is the only reason we can afford someone for Rubio's price range. Not sure what we would have done with that contract other than getting someone like Rubio...or keep JJ.

And the $17.8 million owed in 2021-22 that isn't matched by James Johnson's salary? We will just dump assets from our amazing store of them to get rid of the contract?

As Miami was made better with Goran Dragic, Rubio will bring that type of floor presence to this group of Wolves.

Rubio is the reason I became a wolves fan. Former sonics guy here.

Delta 8 is awesome. Leronlimab cures the caronavirus and Ricky Rubio will be amazing with us.

Bye for 8 months assholes!

I truly wonder what Rosas is planning on doing with rotations now that Rubio is back. This is a long night and maybe we'll see clearer tomorrow?

Rubio and Culver playing that much together? That is frightening for spacing, which has been the whole point of Rosas re-working of the roster.

Thats just how I would see minutes as the roster is constructed now. I hope they aren't done. Also, just because I have RR and Culver starting, doesn't mean Culver would play all 22 of those minutes with Ricky.

It is odd though, that once you have the roster laid out as its currently constructed, 3 point shooting is very suspect in the 1-3 positions. Especially considering that Rosas traded specifically for 3 point shooting when he overhauled the roster approaching the deadline last year. Beasley being a fuck up, really fucks that up...still, plenty of 3 point shooting, just not from the positions you would traditionally want it at.
