    Other than free throws, which believe it or not, you can improve.
    Everything else you mentioned doesn't matter.

    Why would that be the case? Hell if that's the plan why not just blow up Toyota center and have everyone that's left on the roster switch their careers to synchronized swimming?

    -7/9 points a game if rondo/rubio guards Curry.

    Steve Nashes and Stephen Currys don't grow on trees.

    I like how this is just a cleverly-disguised "random trade ideas" thread.

    This has already been discussed. Rubio is not in the same conversation of top players. He's had a losing career period thus far

    Quick refresher. Teague, Lawson, holiday have all clearly had better careers thus far compared to Rubio.

    Neither Rondo nor Rubio can score 12-15 a game.....

    There's something about Rubio that keeps me coming back. He's not perfect, but the things he does well...he does VERY well. Of course the things he doesn't do well, he's really bad at….but I can't help thinking that we can somehow work around that.

    A trade could look something like:

    Papanikolaou
    Prigioni
    SnT KJ McDaniels
    TJones
    #32 Pick

    I wonder….if we trade for Rubio, is Sergio Llull more likely to come over as our backup 1/2? And is Kevin Love more likely to be interested in the Rockets with Rubio/Brewer/McHale in Houston?

    Rubio / Johnson
    Harden / Llull
    Ariza / Brewer
    Love / ?
    Dwight / Capela

    All star selections. All nba team selections. Olympic champion. Playoff appearances. Nope Resume doesn't support that statement

    Would much rather go the Morey route for our point guard. Let's let him make another Lowry/Dragic transaction.

    Oh, so there are other considerations besides winning and losing, eh?

    Rubio is a better player than any of Lawson, Holiday, and yes, even Teague.

    It takes something of value to get something of value. Why do you think the Wolves will just give him up and what else do we have to offer that would interest them? Trade fantasyland only exists on this board.

    Sounds great but I don't think the math works cap wise to make that happen.
