    Rubio was 10-17 in his first game with 14 assists to beat the Lakers.

    That first game created the hype that he has improved. But he fell fast from that one single game to start the season.

    You said Rubio's shot has improved. That has nothing to do with Ty. Rubio hasn't improved at all. You're spouting hype from just the opening game of the season, from which he fell fast.

    I am pretty sure that wasn't his only good shooting game. I think he had one last week because I remember reading posts like "Rubio has arrived".

    I don't give a crap about any of that junk. My whole point is we should of traded for Rubio instead of Lawson period end of story. The trade has been a complete failure and he has brought absolutely nothing to this team. Rubio would of at least been a contributor.

    I guess Zaza was the difference-maker on last year's team then.

    wait till midjan when most team's trade restrictions are off. we got brewer who cant be traded till mind jan. bev too but i wanna keep him. not easy finding a 3d pg on a low cost-long term contract. he keeps getting misunderstood here. he's perfect when he plays 20mpg. when he's at 30-40 he cant play his style cuz it takes up a lot of energy

    i'd add jones, brewer and kj to the block. maybe dwight but have to get something relaly good, not just expirings and crap.

    Nope...sorry. You are wrong, still. I didn't just look this up. I've been following Rubio all year.

    For players with greater than 6000 Minutes Played, Rubio has the league's worst FG% and eFG% for a PG.

    I then run the numbers again to make it even more fair to Rubio. Even when looking at a player's first 5 years in the league, to eliminate improvement from guys like Kidd, Rondo and Jason Williams...Rubio is still the worst.

    If we move that back to 5000 MP'd so Michael Carter-Williams is included, then Rubio is still the worst FG% and second worst eFG% to Anthony Carter, who never reached 6,000 MP'd in his career. This MP'd criteria within a players first 5 years covers over 300 PGs since 1980.

    Rubio is the worst shooting PG in league history at this point in his career, by several measures.

    Probably the same morons who still think the 76ers analytical experiment is a success

    Thank you! Rubio is an embarrassment to his position. This guy couldn't hit the broadside of a barn of his life depended on it. He's Patrick Beverly but white and faster

    Move Dwight for expiring contracts (and are good players). This makes us competitive this year and opens up cap space to sign a big star.

    OK as GM in fantasy land, I'd bring in LeBron and KD. There you go. Problem fixed!

    You say that like a Rubio trade was more than just a rumor. You say that like Morey actively chose to turn down a Rubio trade. From my seats, that was all rumors.

    Please provide some type of proof that a Rubio trade was turned down, or stop comparing him to Lawson. And that's not even mentioning what we would have had to give up to get him vs Denver dumping Lawson to any taker.

    We got TY for virtually nothing - actually better than nothing - we got unwanted contracts off our books... What would Rubio have cost us? Why are people acting like it was TY or Rubio with no difference in cost?

    Rubio shouldn't even be in the League yet people want that scrub on this team? LOL.

    Injury prone, worst shooter of all time & absolutely kills spacing. No thanks.

    The bench has not produced - but going into the season it was thought by many (not only homers) to be a real strength for us... On paper our bench was/is great... unfortunately, like most things Rockets this year - it has not coorelated to the anticipated results...
