    Wish the Wolves accepted our trade a couple years back of Battier and Brooks for Rubio.

    Although I am just fine with Lowry running this team.

    I tend to agree with you. Naturally this is all speculation. Who'll be right? The haters pile on so much that I want the kid to succeed. I used to be ambivalent about Tebow, and I know he lacks a lot of the skills that make a great NFL quarterback, but I root for him now....just so some people will shut the f*** up.

    With some good coaching, Rubio will shine. He might be more Rondo than Rose, great D, racks up assists but not a great scorer; but let's concentrate on what he does well and not so much on what he doesn't.

    Ya'll are good with Conley for now, unless he seriously regresses after the lockout ends.

    In hindsight, Memphis should have picked either Harden or Curry. Both would have complimented Gay and Gasol pretty well.

    I didn't understand the Thabeet pick at all, they didn't need a Center, and I didn't think Thabeet was all that special in college.

    I honestly though Sacramento would have taken Rubio, OKC would have taken Thabeet(that worked out well that they didn't) and Memphis would have taken Harden, Curry, or Evans.

    Time to eat some crow.

    3 games in and Rubio is looking like a sure thing.
