You can basically get Rubio for cap space, but on the plus side you also forgo your cap space to sign Teletovic, Dellavedova, Plumlee, and Henson, so it all evens out in the end.

I always viewed Rubio like other posters viewed Joe Johnson (besides PP :wink: ) and Brook Lopez. Bullet dodged.

Sure, if Rubio was a ball pounding, stat chasing, jerk-off.

Please explain how Rondo would be a good acquisition.

Why would the Sixers and Bulls release such valuable expirings in a year LeBron is a free agent? Easier for us to trade Hawes for Kyrie Irving I guess.

I just read the Spurs are going to offer Simmons $9m and I'm wondering why should the Bucks offer more to Snell... :-?
No hay banda.

Something I need to know from the Rubio lovers. If he is so great why didn't he ever have overall success. It seems, looking at minny's roster he is the perfect fit. He's been given multiple chance to lead a team to success but has yet to do it

Spending 2/$22 on Joe Johnson looking a hell of a lot smarter than spending 3/$60 on Telly and Delly.

Why hasn't Giannis had overall success? Couldn't be that he's played on bad teams right?

Over the past 4 seasons combined the TWolves are 103-152 with Rubio (33 win pace) and 13-60 without him (15 win pace). It has way less to do with Rubio and more to do with Minnesota just being a crap franchise.

Simmons doesnt even shoot 30% from 3, Snell is just the more useful player, and I say that as someone who is not an advocate for resigning Snell

And, JJ would've been really good for the Bucks last year with Midds out. Probably could 1-2 with Monroe to make a killer 2nd unit when Giannis comes out, too. PP has the front office acumen we need. Best part is he could get the POBO job without even realizing he's a candidate.

Can we agree that Rubio is a decent player but that the Bucks problems run much deeper than what Rubio could solve for us?

The biggest problem is that there's a handful of people that don't think Rubio is a decent player and it's a hilarious notion.

Do you not know where you are, or are you getting senile??? There will be no agreement on f=21, not about this, not about that, not today, not tomorrow, never.

If Monroe & Hawes are on the team after the trade deadline that's a pretty big indicator that Horst sucks right?
