    he will play just like Brooks played alongside Lowry. Shoot open threes in transition, cut to the basket, use a speed advantage. Rubio will deliver to him, not crazy at all

    Their SG position is the weakest in the game, the only sg they have is Ellington and his is poor. Wes will play at 2 guard but he is natural off-ball SF and it really matters

    hahaha. seriously tho, they're pretty weak at SG, all they have is a bunch of SF hybrids. apparently khaaaaaaaan thinks they're close to a contender already and are signing "win-now" players. and, unfortunately, i'm guessing adelman is in win-now mode as well, consider his age.

    The Wolves are going to be improving a lot, and Khan is going to have a lot of his haters eating their words !!

    Rubio is a big PG. They can play Barea next to him at 2.

    I think that's a lot of money for Barea. Is he worth that much?

    Well they can't get much worse.

    But seriously with Adelman there they could win 25 games. However, I think there is a big possiblity that Adelman and Beasley or even Adelman and Randolph have some sort of blow up.

    Also, what exactly has Khan done good outside of getting Adelman?

    If this is their line of thinking, it makes some sense to me: On offense Rubio is the 1, but on defense you have Rubio guard 2's.

    It could possibly create some mismatches on the offensive end without causing too many problems on defense. (Assuming Rubio can play defense is a stretch, I know.)

    He wouldn't need to if he's next to Ridnour or Barea.

    Adelman is looking for someone to fill that Bobby Jackson role -- overall, good fit and good signing for the TWolves.

    Playoff tested.. was a killer PG for the Mavs during there run.

    Is he worth that much? I guess.. especially since he is a champion.
