Spurs had to. You don't. I don't actually believe the mumbo-jumbo about it being ok if he doesn't come over. How many more years are you planning on developing? Kahn promised one more year, one more year until you try to make something of yourselves. And Rubio staying overseas for the next 1-2 years is not part of that plan. This is what's going to happen. Flynn is going to be moved. For an SG that isn't Wilson Chandler, and therefore doesn't suck. Rubio will play, he will play well, this shall all be forgotten and we dance.
I tend to agree with you. I hope you're right.
However, if khan's shown anything so far it's an obsession (and talent for) getting value out of his assets.
I don't think it will necessarily be a SG because of that. 3rd defensive big is also a priority for him.
The problem is that it's hard to get value for him now that everyone is satisfied with their draft picks, and future draft picks are so uncertain. PHX /clark/richardson could make sense, maybe kevin martin from sacto if they want to cut salary. the perfect time to get value would have been yesterday when we had trade down opportunities, and now that time will shift to the next draft when the quantities are known, because you don't trade a #6 pick for a future pick no matter the protection.
Ironically the 2 guys he was traded for, miller and foye, are good fits as outside shooters next to rubio.
I thought for certain he was going to sacto for evans, that must be a dead opportunity.
