John Wall for Rubio is an easy yes, but obviously Wizards wouldn't do that. Yeah he just like KG apparently lol

Maybe he finds the situation kinda similar?

Like KG by being stuck on a mediocre team with the FO making stupid offseason moves & wasting the prime of a incredibly talented player (dude avg'd 20-10-5 last year).

Anyways- jerseys fresh as hell lol. Good to see KG still getting love. Will never be appreciated the way he should be.

John Wall is overrated. He's an inefficent scorer and Rubio is a better defender and playmaker. I'd much rather have Rubio running this team than Wall. But hey, Wall is the bigger name, so he must be the better player, right?

That's just like a generic answer for people when comparing Rubio to any other pg but is he really a better defender or playmaker? Those are also both wall's calling cards plus his elite level athleticism and finishing abilities.

I'd do Rubio and gorgui future first for wall
Cut Payne
Sign Thomas Robinson and d wright

I was a Wall fan due to his pass first nature. But I have soured on him lately. I think he's a talented loser and nothing more. Inflated stats due to the roster composition. His impact is way lower than his numbers. Durant wanted nothing to do with teaming up with him in DC.

I'm glad you have absolutely no say in what happens to the roster. That trade would be worse than anything Kahn ever did.

John Wall is a very good player.He is already 3 times all star, the previous year he averaged 20ppg and 10 apg.
Maybe the expectations were higher for him but this does not decrease his value.
I don't believe that we can easily trade for him. His value is high and we have to give at least one of our young guys (if we assume that Wiggins and Towns are out of any discussion then we talk about Dunn or Lavine).
I would not do that. We do not know yet what is the ceiling of our guys. They can become better players than Wall.
I will not call it a bad trade but it would be better to keep our young core and add another good piece in the power forward position.

Funny read.

He compares the wolves vs the lakers with a "supposed" unbiased opinion.

Another BS article from a BS site similar to other sites like Christian Today or Gospel Herald.

http://www.parentherald.com/articles/66281/20160911/nba-trade-rumors-kevin-garnett-returns-leaving-minnesota-timberwolves-will.htm

While Minnesota is still unsettled about Kevin Garnett's return, the head coach of Los Angeles Clippers has something else to say. Doc Rivers is reportedly confident that Garnett will return for the 22nd NBA season.

With Doc Rivers coming into the picture, there are rumors that Kevin Garnett could be joining the LA Clippers in the forthcoming NBA season. Per GameNGuide, Kevin Garnett might not have lots of minutes if he stays with Minnesota Timberwolves because the team concentrates on the younger roster Karl-Anthony Towns Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn. However, he could ask for a trade.

So, because Doc Rivers made a comment about Garnett, that means KG is going to ask to be traded to the Clippers? :banghead:

That's like saying because the first time the Wolves with Wiggins played the Lakers and Kobe made a comment about how Wiggins reminds him of himself 19 years ago, that means Wiggins wants to go to the Lakers.

From memory he was only involved on a part-time basis and wasn't really publicly acknowledged by the team so much, so maybe that's what Nitro was referring to.

Lot's of changes there, it really feels like we're starting off a new chapter in the team's history, very exciting.
