    Consider.. Rubio appeared with Yao last night, Morey's wanted him for awhile, and the Lin trade rumors.....

    Just a coincidence...or....part of the presentation?

    PG who can not shoot will have no place in NBA.

    Uhmmm, I don't think Rubio would be the target (Nobody is going to give him away). I think that maybe Sergio Lull may be showing enough promise for the Rockets to bring him over this season.

    Considering Minny could have had Burke and traded him, i'm assuming they like rubio, so no.

    Seriously man? Kidd could shoot. He started off a somewhat poor shooter but really improved on it. Was he ever a great shooter? No. But he was a pretty decent shooter and more importantly, a SMART shooter. Here are his career averages from the line and downtown:

    - Career 3PT is 34.9%
    - Career FT is 78.5%
    - Only 2 seasons below 30% from down time
    - Only first 5 seasons were under 70% from line

    If you want to talk about a bad shooter, take a look a Rondo who some club members inexplicably feel would be a good fit for Harden or Howard.

    Why stop there? Rubio wasn't the only PG in China.

    call me crazy...i'd kick the tires on tmac for dirt-cheap. i like how he's adjusted to being a role player. he is still an ELITE passer.

    Kidd didn't show vast improvement with his J until very late in his career....That said, it can be done...hard work/dedication/..esp. considering the spacing that comes with an elite big man....and a hell bent for leather stud on the wing.

    If we run out Smith and Howard...we're going to need the goods out top....somebody besides Harden to get these guys the rock where they need it...
