Weird trade for Minny. Are they playing him and Russell together? What does that mean for Edwards?

Kinda feel bad for Rubio. He's a starting caliber PG. Would like to see him on a team with a clear role.

SG: OG Anunoby/Norman Powell/Matisse Thybulle
SF: Gordon Hayward/Demar Derozan

Deja vu... Rubio back in minny having to fight again for his spot.

At this point I too believe he deserved something better. Probably gets traded again at the deadline

Woj says ''for a package that includes the No. 17 pick''. More pieces must be involved.

I assumed that meant salary filler not worth much.

Poor Rubio. He deserves better. Minnesota are a train wreck. Hate that he is going back there.

Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in.

Ricky Rubio's transition from "kid you're not allowed on the court this is for players only" to "I only use the finest hand-ground coffee in my Chemex" has been one of the more fun aesthetic evolutions in the NBA.






Tremendous player, shame his NBA career never matched his international play & potential.

I thought Rubio was the next Steve nash. I'm unsure why he never sticks anywhere he goes.
