Chris Broussard seems certain that wolves will trade 

Post#1 » by Calinks » Fri Jun 26, 2009 7:05 pm

Wolves will trade Rubio if he stays in Spain. He keeps saying that. It seems to him that it isn't possible that the wolves will let Rubio play in Spain for a year and still use him when he comes back.

Ya, I just saw that too. He did say that we want to keep both though. I really think Rubio will be in the NBA next season...and with us.

Well i'm not going to lie to you guys, but I think Flynn will be a great player..... I've been watching youtube of him and he's a better passer than I thought. He's a decent defender, and he's got the attitude of working hard and improving.

I hope Rubio wants to play here, but if not trade his behind for some talent and move on.

Yes collin, that's what I think too. Plus i don't see any team willing to trade for him especially after such an heavy draft on pgs.

On the other end I think Flynn won't be tradable either and the wolves will end up with a rather inadequat backcourt or 50 cents on the $ (at best).

How time ages opinions....What ever happened to the good ol' times when we wanted to trade up to #2 to draft Rubio and keep him??? Now we can draft him at #5 and he's all of the sudden not good enough. BALDERDASH!!!

Why can't the kid just shutup and play?

If the situation is that freakin bad after 1 season fine, demand a trade

At least give us a peep show

ESPN just wants to push the trade Rubio agenda as hard as possible. They don't want him in Minnesota, nobody wants to have to cover the wolves.

And they all don't think any players would want to go to Minnesota

Everyone wants to go to NY, didn't you read that guys post?

They told me they are assembling a 310 man roster in 2010 because everyone wants to play for the Knicks

Amen to that Calinks....Rubio has what ESPN doesn't want us to have..fan appeal. If we have that they have to cover us. Two can play at this game ESPN. There will be repurcussions.....is there any other place that covers all sports everything?? If not I can always just turn them in to the Federal Trade Commission for being a monopoly in covering sports. Give the little guy a chance....

I would relax if I were a Minnesota fan as I see the team simply shopping him with the best leverage possible. The Knicks will be ready to make a credible offer once another team decides to acquire David Lee in a S and T.

If the Knicks were to offer Chandler, two first round picks (one of their upcoming ones and another teams), cash, and a young prospect (credible one not garbage) would Minnesota accept. I would call it a major win considering they really just gave up Foye.

How did HE insult Minnesota?? His dad said he might stay in Spain not him. What was it his comment about it being cold? I really didn't catch any insult. If I'm wrong let me know..

If they took a swingman at #8 and had some 1st round picks to offer I might listen

But they didnt and they dont so, NEXT!

Knicks don't have the pieces to make an offer that would be appealing to the Wolves.

it takes time to get 3-ways all worked out ... I'd say by sunset we'll have a deal in place.
