The Celtics.

They needed to do nothing and they did nothing.  perfect.

On to 7/1
sometimes you have to bite your lip, exhale and move on.  So, I have.

Minny's GM was on Mike and Mike, apparently Rubio is likely not even coming over for at least a year and possibly two.  They also did not expect him to be there at all, as a trusted source told him that OKC was going to take Rubio earlier in the day.  They figured picking at 5 and 6 you had to take the best value especially for a team not ready to compete right away, and they had Rubio and Flynn as the two best players available.  Made a lot of sense.  If Flynn works out the next year or so then you can move Rubio to one of the other 8 teams that took a first round PG who busts out.  If Flynn doesn't work out then you just move Rubio in and relegate Flynn to the bench.

Good strategy, if they stick to their guns and get value for him when he's traded.
