Eww, why? Rubio is the better defender and playmaker than Beverly not to mention a great locker room leader.

Hate it with a passion hotter than the sun.

Rubio is not the better defender thought.

Ironic that we could have had plugged the PF hole and our sixth man would have been better if we just stayed the course

Zach instead of Beasley
Markannen added in

Pat Bev is one of those dudes that you'll truly appreciate once he's on your team..

I saw a ton of Clipper games last year and he was more than happy to be the hustle guy, rebound guy, etc..I think Rubio is a better player than him and wouldn't trade for him, but I know we'd appreciate the value Beverly brings to this team, he barks like KG though without the dominance.

I honestly think if Rubio was on the Clips theydbe heading to the WCF to face the Lakers no matter what.

Grass is always greener on the other side ... why waste discussion on Rubio trades when we already know the answers

There's a reason Clippers want a different point guard now

right, Bev isn't really a "PG", he's just that size and defends them, but he can't run pick/roll or create

ATL is interesting with all their new signings, guys like Hunter and Reddish are basically pushed down to 10th/11th man role

both have that big wing/combo forward size that Wolves are lacking in

They would gladly trade them for an allstar SF which wolves have none.

Get real NO one is trading an all star for either Reddish or Hunter, who can’t shoot and one looks like a bust.

Because...

You believe Markannen is so much better than Hernangomez?
You believe Zach is better than Beasley?
You believe Beasley or Zach should be 6th man players?

I don't note anything ironic. Just another baseless belief system at the root of your thoughts of what could be. Also kind of wondering of what course we are talking about here. Are you thinking back again years now to before the trade for Butler? This will never end.

Nobody wants Hunter anyway except for people that just can't let things go after they were once spun up in belief during a one time draft event. All those desiring some way to rejuvinate that strange draft love and reinvigorate his career elsewhere should just stop already. I can't believe how often his name comes up here. Let him simmer for a couple more seasons and see if he can develop with time or not. Let Atlanta deal with the reality of their pick, just like the Wolves have to do the same with Cutler or mix them into trades with other more leading players.

Maybe we don't have one this year and maybe we do. We should have one soon and for many years to come. Go AntMan.

I mean, since we are playing "positionless" basketball, I would say we currently need two out of three starting wings, we have one in Edwards, now need two bigger/taller/longer than him. Beasley could thrive in a 6th man role. Rubio will be a great backup PG. Reddish would be a perfect target for one of the wings, but doubt we have anything they want (realistically). Another wing that could be worth monitoring is actually on our team, I feel McDaniels could surprise some people with a good camp. I don't think he walks in as a starter, but can see him eating up a forward spot sooner rather than later too. Still would need another bigger F. I invision a KG type of size and athleticism to play the 4. (KG was obviously a once in a generation player, I said type). Long, lean, dialed in on boards and D, and can guard all 5, or at least 4 of 5. Used to see that physical profile in the draft pretty regularly, but has disappeared of late.

Edwards is big. I don't think we need to play two bigger with any regularity. One bigger is fine.

Edwards isn't that big. Big for a 2 sure. But we have established that that isn't the system we currently run. I agree that we can get away playing small time to time. I even agree that we could potentially be bigger than many other teams. Doesn't mean that we couldn't or shouldn't try to be bigger and more athletic
