Any team with Rubio needs a brilliant head coach to maximize his talents and minimize his deficiencies. Still thinking about Bledsoe. Damn, what a risk, but I think Morey has to do it, because the Rockets aren't seriously competing with the current roster. Dwight isn't getting any younger, and it would be a sin for the Rockets to waste his peak years.
Lol @ "all the things he's elite at". He's an elite passer... Jason Williams was an elite passer as well and a better shooter and was he considered a good to great pg? Rubio's offense is horrid. On offense he's rondo except he's half the athlete and he can't finish at the rim. Like the poster a couple posts above said if you guys didn't like Lin(not that I liked Lin) what in god's name are you going to like about rubio>?
Good grief. I used to flinch and close my eyes every time Rafer raised the ball. And the "oh no" was usually justified.
I hope we can find a way to land Barea and Shved from Philly. Barea is exactly what we need coming off the bench.
That is the only sane response. Rubio is a ill fit on this Rockets team. It's Bledsoe or bust people, learn to love him, if healthy will become an instant fan favorite.
Who has more assists, Barea or Yinka Dare? OK, slight hyperbole. But slight. Shved winds up with the LeBrovaliers?
Rubio does everything better than Ishmael lol. I think they're about the same shooting wise too. The only thing Smith is better at than Rubio is being able to be brought along for a Vets min. I think that speaks for itself. (not saying I want Rubio)
So once it's clear that neither dragic nor Bledsoe are becoming rockets, some of you will wish you didn't waste this much time on it, right?
