Wolves Willing To Consider Trading No. 1 Overall Pick

[Brianmas23]

They could draft Russell, trade Rubio to the Knicks for #4, Lakers will likely take Okafor, Philly I could see taking Mudiay since they have Noel and Joel so the Twolves could get KAT at #4. Just a thought.

Ridiculous! Am I forgetting somebody?

I think you are forgetting reality.. Knicks aren't giving up the #4 pick for Rubio.

They need to win asap and he's not going to take 3 years like whoever they draft. Do you think they can trade that pick for someone better?

For 1 Lakers reportedly have Towns ahead of Okafor, 2nd the Knicks want one of those bigs, so if there is any chance one of those guys are there then Knicks wouldn't trade the pick, and 3rd they need another guy that is either big that plays defense and score in the post or someone that takes the scoring load from Melo, and Rubio is not that guy.. PJ isn't going to cave to pressure to win asap, thats not zen

They need to win asap because Melo isn't getting any younger. Rubio makes players better too

we're not trading the pick for ricky **** rubio. **** outta here.

So many people underrate Rubio and overrate draft picks

Totally agree. Rubio is a proven winner, makes others better, and as a result has led his team to a more then generous .362 win percentage over the past 4 years....

What a dumb argument, not even worth arguing my point with someone that doesn't think logically.

Glen Taylor admitted it is unlikely, but not something they're prepared to rule out.

i wonder if he will do it if Portland offer them LMA

Newsflash... Aldridge is a free agent which means Aldridge would have to choose Minnesota because he wants to sign there.

You're forgetting that the Knicks would never trade the fourth pick for Ricky Rubio.

Proven winner?
He's never been in the Playoffs.

You want a proven winner from Sota, look at KG.

I think Ricky is rightly underrated. He's a good defensive guard that doesn't shoot well.

The Knicks hang up the phone offended, do not counter the offer and have a good hearted laugh about just insane the offer is on paper and in reality. 1-5 in this draft, there are players better than Rubio. More over there is more than one way to "win now" giving up the 4th overall pick in a deep draft is at the bottom of that list.

I would also liek to add that Rubio is often injured, in his four years in the league he played 82 games once. The other three years? 41, 57, and 22 last year.

I will take Emmanuel Mudiay over Rubio ANY day of the week, he could be gone at 4, but if so... big deal we take whoever falls to us at that point and allow Rubio to force his way out of Minny as he has been rumored to be doing this off-season.

Let's not forget Rubio has more miles on his body than he should at this point as he played 4 or so years overseas at a pro level. The kid is just not durable.

LOL or maybe you won't argue your point because you have none? Why would the Knicks trade a better PG in Mudiay/Russell that's on a rookie contract for an often injured Rubio that can't shoot and is owed $14M per year for the next 4 years?? GTFO here with your nonsense

LOL, why are people suggesting these terrible trades? You do realize this article is a bunch of **** right?

Hill + hou pick for Melo. Do it mitch. Then flip Melo for number one and Wiggins. do it mitch

Knicks need guys that can play now before Melo is done in a couple years, it's pretty obvious they're going to trade the pick if they can add a good starter. Rubio is a good PG and he defends the position well, he's also still fairly young but with tons of experience. If you want to talk about his injuries that's a fair argument but to say he's got more wear on him because he played professionally at an earlier age is just silly, unless he played two games a day like they do here coming up.

[WizDom]

They should trade the pick for Kevin Love.

Rubio is not worth the 4th pick of this draft,especially with the horrible contract he carries. Taylor has to trade Rubio, Pekovic, and a few other players in order to pay a First Round Pick a MAX extension, pay Wiggins, and I suggest that you take a look at Ricky Rubio's strangling contract,

Minnesota would have to include Rubio and Pek to even begin a negotiation for the #1.

Rubio will make $56M over the next 4 years, that's not bad at all. The rest of your post is jibberish, no idea what you're trying to say.

LOL! If Rubio's salary is "not so bad at all" , why are you looking to pawn him off to the Knicks?

What the heck is jibberish? It's gibberish. I reckon you wasn't the brightest bulb in the box...

Rubio is a very good player so his salary is about what it should be and a bargain compared to what players will be making once the cap goes up next year. The Knicks need players that can play now as I've mentioned several times already, the Wolves are still a few years away especially considering they will be drafting a 19 year old at #1. Why is this so difficult for you to comprehend?

I'm sorry I don't know the correct spelling of word I rarely use, I'm not 16 so I wasn't brought up typing my conversations and spellcheck wasn't around until I was out of school. I did however probably give your mom some singles while she was dancing on that pole trying to support you as a single parent, so that kind of makes me like your daddy huh? Respect your elders little boy
