I agree, anything outside of Jefferson/Love are on the table to move up from 5 to 2. Jefferson for 2+parts could be interesting, but it depends on the parts.

Al is untouchable, and he is definitely not worth a risk in Rubio + whatever the team adds.

I agree with deeney(as usual). Anything besides Al/Love is on the table.

But really, there isn't a talent combination that adds up to moving up to Rubio when Al and Kevin are removed. If it happens, it'll be a shrink-type deal where the Wolves absorb salary from a cheap owner.

There are really only two options

1.) I think it might take Jefferson, but the other team would need to give something back.

2.) as Deeney says--take back cap deal.

We will know more when the lotto is done.There would be a healthy difference in moving up 5 spots or 1

I say we arrange a playdate for him and Percy Harvin when we have Rubio in for a visit.
