no thanks..overrated pg. I'd rather have beverly if i'm competing to win a championship instead of just seeing a flashy assist every once and awhile on espn.
You're going to have to play a lot of small ball lineups like: Rubio Daniels Harden Ariza Howard To mask what Rubio can't do and to exemplify what Rubio can do. Trouble is, that lineup would get demolished pretty badly against teams with big power forwards which include pretty much every playoff caliber team in the West.
I really don't think we need a PG who sucks at shooting, is an overrated defender, and only redeeming trait is his court version. Our passer is HARDEN for better or worse, though usually better. Our PG needs to do 3 things: - Defend well - Shoot well - Don't make dumb passes I say no to Rubio. The guy is so overrated it's not even funny.
I would give it a shot but only if he comes cheap. I wouldn't give up too many assets to see if he would become a better player on a winning team.
truth and ive mentioned this before where his numbers mirror kendall marshall's which is pretty sad. his numbers for finishing around the rim are ridiculously awful as well. amazing what a few highlights on tv can do for a player
Like others have mentioned, we gotta know what we're giving up. Also, Rubio's in Fegan's camp so I'm sure the rumors are true that he's seeking a max extension. I think I'll no-look 'pass'.
I wouldn't trade more than some bench fodder like Black, Michelle, Terry and perhaps some distant 2nd rounder for this over-rated brickster. Don't want to lose valuable assets or picks chasing some empty stat padder with a losing mentality in the NBA.
I'm somewhere in the middle but what we would potentially give up would not be worth it to me. I'll ride w wolverine and more depth over sending the farm for rubio
I think Rubio would work great with a true stretch 4. Dwight Ilyasova/Millsap Ariza Harden Rubio = YES! Dwight Jones/DMo Ariza Harden Rubio = NO!
