Lowry and Jimmy are buddies. Today's NBA is all about playing with buddies thanks to Bron

Well, you sure now have a bunch of Jazz fans! Thanks much for Rubio - the Hill thing wasn't going to work for us - and we can now go get us a shooting big. Oh, and have fun with the OKC pick - the way it is structured chances are real good it turns into 2 second rounders in 2010.

I like what Thibs is doing for you guys. I mean, seriously, see you guys in the playoffs this year. You guys have now inherited the "most interesting team in the league" mantle that the Jazz had going into last season.

Stop the arguments guys...Can't you guys see there is a plan here. Thibs doesn't give away Rubio if Kyle Lowry hasn't given Butler his word hes coming to Minnesota. Can't you all read between the lines here. Why wouldn't Lowry want to play here? Lowry was probably on his way to Chicago before we traded for Butler.

Wolves will announce Teague soon. Welcome to the playoffs fellas, you can quote this in April when the wolves lock down a 4-6 seed.


It's a brand new day wolves fans. Thibs is a hero and workings towards executive of the year. Only bias Rubio fans will disagree. Nobody cares about rubios passing in today's nba, passing PGs don't exist anywhere except cp3 who's also a gifted scorer. Rubio isn't.



WELCOME TO WINNING FELLAS!!!!

You again Heat fan ?
Of course we are going to start winning, we just got a superstar in Jimmy Butler...

You must have enjoyed the last f***** 15 years of having a pathetic team and waiting another 5 years to see if the young guys work out.

Rubio is better than Teague but at least Teague is a decent player. Rose on the other hand would be a disaster.

I'm a big Rubio fan....and I was also a huge LaVine fan as well. Let's see how things play out. We traded Rubio for space so we could sign a PG who will hopefully help with spacing. I don't think Teague will be a bargain though....I expect him to be at least a $20 million a year player. Hopefully I'm wrong and he will be less than Rubio. If that's the case, that we get a first round pick, more cap space and swap Rubio for Teague I'll be very happy with the trade. I'm saying that as someone who loves watching Ricky Rubio play.

And we just upgraded at point guard. Rubio will continue to be a bust in Utah. He's someone else's burden now. If you liked the wolves and not Rubio you would see this.

Who would have thought out of all the PGs we've put on the floor the last couple years (Rubio, Dunn, Jones, LaVine), Tyus would be the last man standing?

But replace the name Lowry with Teague, and you really have the same feeling? No one knows the truth, but what if JImmy's 'guy' is actually Teague. :-)

Not buying it at all but if this would indeed happen, I will seriously reconsider my Wolves fanhood.

I'd be okay with flipping the pick for Beverly and then using the space for Milsap.

It's hard to imagine Thibs's guy being a dude who doesn't play defense. The more I think about it, the more I think that this has to be a smokescreen. At the very least, Thibs would go after Holiday and Hill before Teague.
