    For what in return? He'd be interesting... but has 3 more years at $13 - $15 million. That's a heck of a risk, even in a high salary cap era... because it might squash any ability you have this off-season to pursue max guys, or even fringe max guys.

    I'd love to see him play with Harden and on this team for like a week, to see how it works.

    They should allow rentals... lol!

    I dislike Rubio, but he can certainly defend.

    Better defender than Scrub Beverley at this point in his career.

    Rubio isn't the best one-on-one defender, but he generates a ton of turnovers. Last I checked, our team thrives on that. Well...at least we did last year

    Well Rubio needs the ball in his hands, he is more effective at making plays than James Harden is, there is no doubt about that. Additionally, he is a plus defender so James Harden does not have an excuse to not jibe with Rubio. If Rubio comes in here, he will be on the floor at all times and it is up to Harden to adapt or else.

    As a guy who can defend and be another ball handler next to Harden, he's intriguing.

    But he's really bad at putting the ball in the basket except for free throws

    Lol no. I will retire that now. :grin:

    Jimmer just because he can shoot. Ricky just so that he can get the group off the bench going.

    Lmao. You guys have been waiting to replace Bev w/ a foreign player since he became starting PG a few years ago. The proposed foreign guy can be mediocre or complete utter trash, but for some reason be valued higher here than anywhere else of the planet. Dragic, Lin, Llul, Rubio etc..The foreign obsession is definitely real here
