Hey, a trade. Thunder are rightfully trading any currently decent to good thing they have for picks. Smart

Better move from Minnesota than drafting Edwards.

I thought Rubio had slightly more value than that. He moved the pick by what? 5 spots?

Oh man Rubio and Green what a legendary backcourt that was for Thunder
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

I think it's a good fit, and kind of a "feel good" story for Rubio. He was always a favorite in Minnesota.

Think he really helps the team, too.

Great move by the Wolves,loved him on the team and for most die hard Wolves fan is probably the 2nd most beloved Wolf of all time behind KG.Makes for a great back up PG to run our bench or could start along side Russel in the back court and and some play making and defense to the starting unit while moving Edwards to SF or to the bench as our 6th man for his rookie season.

Assume with Rubio coming back that Beasley,Okogie or Culver will be gone in the next few days.

Good for Rubio. I think he'll be welcomed back with open arms by Minnesota fans. Imo he should've never even been traded in the first place. Think he'll fit well with this new look Wolves team.
