You people deserve to watch bad basketball. :lol:

Why would we want Ricky Rubio back. Flip didn't want him, Smitch didn't want him, Thibs finally got rid of him and now the Jazz have seen enough.

Jesus.
Because him and Ryan are tight and we need a PG who can run offense for Kat and Wigs. Plus he's a winner and has been to the playoffs two years in a row.
Please explain this also... Why does Memphis want Teague?
They get out of Conley's contract, while still getting a starting caliber PG.

For me it would depend how much Rubio would cost. If we could survive with a cheap duo of Tyus and Rubio and spend everywhere else, I guess I wouldn't be against it.

You bring Rubio in and he's a 2 year guy. And you certainly don't trade for him. Get him on a good deal for 2 and a TO and you can maximize Teague's value at the draft, Offseason, or deadline. You also have a good vet bridge if we do have to draft a PG next year. And let's not forget that Wigs best years are with Rubio spoon feeding him in a Saunders offense.

Our only PG chance in this draft is to hit a grand slam in the 2nd round. I expect Teague to have a bounce back year but it would be damn nice to have someone who can step in for him if we move him at the deadline. Best possible outcome is he redeems more value than just expiring and we can do our "FA" shopping a half a year early. Then we have a backup to step up and lead us in the playoffs.

I just want a front office that doesn't sign, draft, trade for players who we make worse because they don't fit. Have a vision for once and make sure every player fits it. If not then what's the point? You can get a top 100 guy off a team that's not using him right and turn him into top 50 in one game. Just use him right and make sure he fits with what you have.

Rubio isn't a good pg. Trading him for a 1st was one of the few good moves made by Thibs. Rubio would have been a great PG in the 90s

Teague was trash long before he dawned a wolves jersey. You dumbasses were so hypersensitive over his shooting that you thought Teague was a god send. Teague was, is, and will always be a chump. Tyus’ make a wish dream is nearly over, only sustained by Jeffrod Teacups incompetence

It appears that Memphis is committed to taking Ja with the #2 pick .... so why are we having this discussion? They are not looking for another PG.

Teague is the only one of the three to be an All Star (2015).

Teague has been to nine playoffs (71 games)
Conley has been to six playoffs (56 games)
Rubio has been to two playoffs (11 games)

A couple years ago I said he'd be out of the league after this contract. I have no clue who would sign him to be their starter. Chicago?

I was thinking about this earlier today. I couldn't think of a team what would offer more than a one year minimum deal. No team should want him as a starter. Does he go to Europe now? China?

No we don't. Also thinking Rubio is some special defender is a myth. He's ok.

You’re under the impression that the Wolves shooting is fine, fade? I’m going to strongly disagree. Move on from the Rubio reunion.

I believe Wiggins, Roco, Saric, and Towns gives us plenty of shooting.

Add Rubio to that starting.lineup and you have a REAL turd sandwich.

We already saw what Rubio, Wiggins and Towns did together.. Nothing! Saric is a turd.
