You would need to be high to like Jennings. :D

Rubio entering is great..too bad there is little chance we get him, but I really do want him. Depending on what team gets him I might become a huge fan of them. I have liked Rubio for a long time.

All the cards are falling into place. Wolves will get Rubio.

Sweet, so now I'm gonna get to constantly bitch about you being a bandwagon fan too.

HA!!!

More like leaving a sinking ship for a prospect I have liked for a long time. The wolves need to do something to keep their fans. Hopefully a Lindsay/Bud thing will help.

I really hope we trade up and do whatever we can to get this guy. Although I don't see how his game fits with Jefferson (from what I've seen of him)

The Wolves dont need a Lohan/Weed scandal.

the front office needs to do whatever is necessary to get this guy. ricky rubio, who's name most certainly doesn't hurt his cause, put fans in the seats. his style of play is smooth and fun to watch. the whiteboy package of rubio and klove will give this team an identity. if our luck doesn't pan out in the lottery i'm in for trading any combination of picks or players that don't include al or klove to get this guy....

i will probably be reluctant to own a jersey with 'rubio' on the back though...

is there a scenario where Rubio gets drafted this year, but does not come over until next year?

I couldn't really see that happening since he will be a top three pick, but I hope our new gm does what ever he can to get this guy.

With Rubio entering, if the Wolves somehow land the top pick (fingers crossed!) do we trade it to the #2 team? I'm assuming most Wolves fans want Rubio over Griffin. I think it would be a great idea to package Griffin and get Rubio+future draft pick? or maybe another expiring? Who knows...All I know is now we win the lottery if we get the 1 or 2 pick. Somebody do the odds thing over again, because all we need is 1 or 2 to get the pick we want anyway :-)

Ya, it'd be pretty cool to get Rubio. But even if we aren't in draft position we could make a trade or just stand pat because better players are going to be pushed down to us. Good news!!!
