Does Minny want capspace? We can give them the TPE and expirings and take on any bad contracts they might have. Rubio is going to be top-5 at his position.

Such an incredible passer. Whatever team he's on, I can't wait for him to come to the NBA.

I am with the RIG. We NEED Ricky and we NEED to replace BC with the R | I | G

R | I | G Thanks for suggesting this amazing novel idea! All you RealGM'ers learn something about creating NEED threads from the RIG.

i would offer both our picks next season unprotected for rubio. i don't think kahn does it but rubio gives us a "name" to sell tix, is a pg, has good upside, and may be content in staying with us long term.

he's a member of the spain national team
that's a given
we need him
hell i need him
i'm a mess without him
i miss him so damn much
i miss being with him
i miss being near him
I miss his laugh
I miss...
I miss his scent
I miss his musk
when this all gets sorted out, I think me and him should get an apartment together...

Ignorance is bliss.

When you actually watch him play, then you can have a valid opinion.

Why do you hate so much? He's a good player I wouldn't mortgage the house either but if he can be had at a reasonable price there is no reason why I wouldn't want him here.

Rubio and Calderon aren't similar at all. Rubio is pure quickness, explosiveness, spectacle... His major gift is INTELLIGENCE. Intelligence and basketball IQ.

In Spain's first 4 games:

Jose:
21.12min, 5.8pts, 2.8reb, 3as, 0.8st, 0.8to. (4/12 %FG, 3/11 %3P, 6/8 %FT)

Rubio:
18.25min, 4.3pts, 2.8reb, 5.3as, 1.8st, 0.8to. (5/6 %FG, 1/4 %3P, 4/8 %FT)

Jose Calderon is the starting PG because.... I actually don't know. Maybe because he's Jose and he plays in the NBA, cause in these first games Rubio is doing more than him in less time. For example, Rubio the other day made 8pts, 8as, 4st in... ยก16 min!

Rubio does things you can't see in the stats. For example, look at 01.57:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45cDGRfpoqU
When I finish a game, they ask me "how did it go? how many points did you score?", when the real question should be "what have you done today to help your team win?". - Ricky Rubio.
