    Call up Cuban and get him to drive up the Price, Fegan. Everybody knows that's the only ace up your sleeve.

    To be fair, whoever said that, must've looked like a genius for the first month or so. Rubio did look like a franchise point guard the minute he stepped on the court. Elite vision, passing, defense, and he was making shots too. The start was amazing.

    Good times.

    Who gives a care about his start. Do you have any idea how many rookies get off to good starts before the league figures them out and they are never heard from again? Whoever said that about Rubio was clueless. Whoever judges a player by their first month is also.

    Rubio is one of the most overrated duds the NBA has seen.

    Regarding a max contract, Brandon Jennings said he deserved one also. These guys must be drinking the same tainted water.

    I heard Kwame Brown wants max too. I bet Cuban will pay for it.

    I have to agree with some of you that his career in the league, so far, doesn't merit a max contract. Of course, Parsons' play didn't merit one either.

    Negotiation 101. You ask for the moon, you may get what you wanted.

    I was just enjoying a memory. It sounds like you want to argue, but there's nothing really contentious about the topic.

    Lol Morey could lure him away. He is only asking for the mex because it's Minny. He'd probably take a normal offer for a team that can contend with him like Houston.

    But it means Fegan. No deal

    I still think he can turn into a Kidd. Great passing, great defense as he gains experience. Very slowly developing 3pt shot.

    Having said that, if he's asking for MAX and I'm the Wolves I trade him NOW, see how Love feels about it. If Love is still not happy, then trade Love too and start over.

    What would be super interesting is a Rubio for Rondo straight up trade. Wonder if Ainge would bite on that, and if it would change Love's mind.

    If he does end up getting the max, I am going to be calling him Ricky Robyou.
