Ricky Rubio: We NEED him 

Post#1 » by R1G » Mon Aug 9, 2010 2:06 am

I know this has been discussed before...

but we NEED Ricky Rubio... we have a glaring hole at PG, we are in need of starpower, someone who can start the break and feed our wings/bigs, someone who WANTS to come here.

I say we offer everything we have to get this kid, maybe not Derozan but everyone else including picks and even taking back a bad contract to get him.

Brand new Rubio highlights that showcase his whole season.. he is going to be a STUD

Rubio has that IT factor, and his craftiness and passing cannot be taught. Not to mention he has size, length and is an elite defender at his position. Not to mention that he is a bonafide winner, with his club team and internationally.

I feel we should take that chance, get him at all costs.. whats there to lose

lets get real, who do we really have that can be that number 1 cornerstone guy..

maybe Derozan, but even then its like a number 2 guy.

Weems is a fringe starter, Amir's ceiling is not that high

I would easily give up Bargnani

what team doesn't need him? Rubio is the prime jewel to be plucked for the future.

Man, he hates jumping. The videos make it look like as if he gets hardly any lift on his jumpshot.

I'm not a person who really follows the draft but in terms of prospect from this past draft and next year draft, how does Ricky's passing rank.
