Wolves introducing draft picks at 3:00pm

[Shox214]

Rubio will NOT be there according to Jerry Zgoda's blog.

A Wolves spokesman said there’s “no conspiracy here” and said Rubio’s agent, Dan Fegan, decided not to have his client come to town because of the uncertainty over Rubio’s unresolved contract buyout with his Spanish team.

He said Rubio is not balking at playing for the Wolves.

David Kahn will be addressing this at the press conference.

Getting Rubio = great. But only if he plays here next year. He has too much leverage in the situation for that to be a given. Hopefully Kahn/Wolves were aware of his intent under this scenario - he still has great trade value. In that case, getting Flynn is also very good.

Making a deal to get #5 with #6 to end up with Rubio and Flynn and to plan to run them together is not good. Something has to give.

A lot of people here are saying things like "one of them will pan out" - that isn't an efficient way to build a team - especially when you subtracted Miller and Foye (not great but not nothing - think Ellington will be better than Miller?) in the process.

Others say "trust in Kahn". I'll give him the benefit of the doubt now and see how things pan out, but why should I have any faith in him?

KLOVES Twitter Update: Yes keeping rubio...and press conference I'm just going off of what I heard people. I like the concern though, shows you guys care

but then posted a minute after: rubio to stay in Spain according to his father...

but we have all heard that already. I think we need an official Kevin Love Twitter thread

[FairDinkum]

Klove is a lord at twitter, every post is value

[Calinks]

I really think we need to get him out here so he can see the organization and city. We should really be pushing to get him to come to this press conference. Building a level of familiarity would go a long way towards making his family feel more comfortable.

LOL at RealGM wiretap....

[FairDinkum]

I hope this is on FSNN as well as on timberwolves.com. I doubt my so-called "highspeed" internet can handle a live stream without glitches. I wanna hear all of this.

[collin_k41]

I here audio noise coming out of the thing on timberwolves.com. I hope Rubio blows everyone's mind and shows up.

Translated to English: When you trade Flynn - I'm IN !!!

Kahn knows exactly what's going on. He talked to Fegan before he drafted Rubio ... something will give, soon. I'd bet your mothers hotdish he told Fegan to hang tight.

[Klomp]

We're on

[Klomp]

Did that graphic just say KAH?

[Calinks]

It would have been awesome if Rubio busted out like, I got a buyout benches! Maybe KG will help the wolves and five him a loan to pay off his European team.

[Calinks]

Jonny comes off as a natural born leader.

[collin_k41]

Flynn carries himself REALLY well.
