    That's right, I said it, and I'm sure I will get flamed for it.

    I love Ricky Rubio. I think he's a stud. And I think we need him.

    Defense --> Check

    Winner --> Check

    Will find Kevin Martin for the open 3 --> Check

    Won't turn the ball over in crucial situations --> Check

    Do it Morey! I realize Rubio has a euro contract :(

    Question: Would anyone trade for Rubio if it was Brooks straight up? How about Martin (although i'm sure the contracts would not match up)

    The team is dire need of Ariza back and Landry while they are at it. Trade somebody else like they should have with Battier to dump salary and Chuck Hayes. Then you dont have to worry about defense if you traded Battier and Chuck for Courtney Lee. Before the league found out Battier sucks.

    i think thats fair to say. but there's not a serious possibility in us acquiring him so i think its a moot point.

    but yes, rubio - very good.

    Hell yes. we'd be lucky if it was only Brooks they wanted. I don't think Minny would want just Brooks since they have Johnny flynn.

    Brooks is an undersized pg who lives and dies by his 3 ball. not much defense or anything else.

    Rubio is a stud and will be a star in the nba.

    Well with Kahn at the helm who knows what they would want. I know I would do it. Just because Rubio's potential seems so high.

    Yes I think Kahn would probably want all 3 of our PG's in return...

    Knowing Kahn, we could offer JT for Rubio and a first round pick.

    This team is in Dire Need of LeBron James.

    That's right, I said it, and I'm sure I will get flamed for it.

    I love LeBron James. I think he's a stud. And I think we need him.

    Defense --> Check

    Winner --> Check

    Will find Kevin Martin for the open 3 --> Check

    Won't turn the ball over in crucial situations --> Check

    Do it Morey! I realize LeBron has a Miami contract :(

    Ricky Rubio will be very upset when he is not offered an extension.

    Right this team is in dire need of the universally ranked in Europe worst point guard in the entire Euroleague. You have got to be joking. No one in Europe even considers Rubio to even be a decent player.

    Minny isn't giving him up, not without a huge haul in return. We'd have to gut our assets, and start over.

    But, yeah, an upgrade at point would be nice.
