Trading Rubio is among the least insane things that wolves can do now and they can get so much out of Rubio trade that they can instantly become a very big name for 2018 championship. It's just "should they trade Rubio now or later" for T-Wolves. | ||

Plus he's a very solid defender. It'd be dumb to trade him before finding out if Kris Dunn is gonna be an all star caliber pg unless they can get some comparable immediate impact in return. | ||

While he's good, he's not the type of guy you would like to have in today's basketball. That's why Kemba Walker was a liability for Hornets 2 seasons ago and a big asset last season. He learned how to shoot the basketball. | ||

Also, its incredibly easy to overrate those skills for PGs. There are dozens in the league that do those things at 80% Rubios level, and shoot. | ||

It would be easier to name the starting PGs who don't fit the criteria: Rondo (also cant shoot) Rose (also cant shoot, also cant walk) Parker (too old to do things) MCW (also cant shoot) Calderon, Sloan, Neto (just terrible) | ||

I'm asking you to name even 10 PG's who fit that criteria... let alone 'dozens.' Kyrie, Steph, CP3, John Wall, Lowry, Tony Parker, Kemba, Damian, Westbrook.. that's 9 who are objectively better than Rubio in every way. You can't tell me that there are more than a dozen ADDITIONAL PG's who are good shooters + 80% of Rubio's playmaking. That's insane. | ||

Not that Rubio is a bad player, its just that hes not particularly valuable. If you traded him now a fair trade would be for next years 15th overall pick. | ||

You aren't an elite team unless you have a non-PG ballhandler in addition to a competent PG, which I don't see Kris Dunn being anything less than competent, on the level of a Chalmers. Thats his floor. This is false but I'll jibe with this line of thinking. If spacing is what you need from the primary ball handler - then wouldn't it be smarter to trade Wiggins? He can't make plays for others (yet), doesn't "space the floor", and his only above average quality is generating Free Throws. Wiggins doesn't space the floor either but he's not even helping in other areas. | ||
