Sad day for Wolves fans. Rubio is a ******* star.

Thibs has been looking to move Rubio for the whole time he's been in Minnesota, disappointed all they got is a protected pick (lottery through 2020, if doesn't come through then 2021 & 2022 2nd round picks).

If they waive Bazz that's a max slot. They better get Lowry now. If this is Jeff Teague (who had the same 3P% as Rubio) then it's gonna get ugly.
Two names could make it worse

The NBA would be a whole lot better with an AFL style hard cap. It's BS how the cap can be manipulated. Imagine the player movement! Imagine stars going to small markets to get their max! Imagine small markets actually having a chance at a chip!

What are the details of the Ricky pick?

1st rounder from okc, lottery protected?

So Rubio for pick 18 or something next year assuming thunder make playoffs with the ailing clippers one less team to worry about

Sixers bringing over their 1st round pick, Furkan Korkmaz, the Sixers are paying 600k of his buy out and he's paying 1.3mil of his own money. The situation in Turkey must be pretty shitty to want to get out that bad, Dario left a lot of money on the table to get out of there too.

The Cavs euro stash is doing the same thing.

Liiiiiiittle bit surprised at what seems to be the general social media/journalist vibe that the Jazz just got stronger, when Wolves fans have been forced to defend Rubio as not being shit for so long...

Yeah ild say giving up Rubio for peanuts means we have teague locked up. Dont mind it. Honestly rather Lowry but seeing what his agents trying to do to the raptors i doubt we want to touch him
Still need to find 2 solid signings

In what way is Teague a better fit though? I don't understand.

I understand wanting to move Rubio. Ricky/Wiggins/Butler/Dieng would give me a nervous breakdown. Teague doesn't really fix those issues though, especially at the price we're paying - more than we had Rubio signed for.
