Flynn is nice, Sessions... ehh, I wouldn't give up much for either, but Johnny Flynn is my pick, even if we did have to give a future pick...


Rubio finishing 2nd in the worlds at the same age is every bit as impressive as Tyreke finishing 4th in the NCAA that year. Remember how many doubters there were about other countries until guys like Gasol, Peja, Dirk, Parker, or Nash. We had to wait 2 years from Europe to get Peja and he avg 20pt a game until his back injury. The best players will stand out no matter where they are from.

Jason Kidd has no muscles but has had a great career. Rubio will be at least a very good NBA Guard because the guy has an incredible work ethic.

I agree. Rubio is talented and would fit well with Evans. I believe that Rubio, Flynn and Sessions would be the preference by Petrie and the Kings. Guy would flourish with Cousins throwing outlet and Casspi, Greene and Evans finishing. I keep hearing this guy isn't a good fit, that guy isn't a good fit but we had a perfect player in Martin and that didn't work. I'd love to see how Rubio and Evans would work in the backcourt.

Personally, I think any of 3 would make the Kings better..

If anything, I still wouldn't trade anything substantial to get him. Perhaps a future pick or something, considering if he DID come over, it would be the equivalent of a future draft pick. Yeah we lucked up with Peja, but we also struck out with Dejan Bodiroga. It's too much of a gamble to me to trade anybody we value to get Rubio.
