Rumor: Rubio for 4th pick offered.

[Ca$H]

There are numbers reports about several player the Knicks are

[Fudge]

Except D-Lo ain't sliding past 3, unless the Sixers FO is absolutely braindead.

A Mudiay/Wiggins/Towns core would be just as impressive, though.

[navy]

:roll:

[ISHGoat]

lmao i wouldnt trade the 14th pick for rubio

pgs that cant shoot are useless

[ALBballer]

Deal makes no sense for the Knicks. Knicks need a spot up shooter that can handle the ball and play defense alongside Melo something along the lines of a prime Billups. Teams guarding the Knicks would leave Rubio wide open when Melo is in the post and Rubio's strengths would be negated.

Rubio needs to play on a fast pace offensive team where he can get some easy buckets in transition and find open shooters and finishers.

[midatlantic09]

Russell isn't sliding past the Sixers @ #3 so trading for the #4 pick in an attempt to get Russell is 99% sure to fail.

[T_L_P]

Shit, is Rubio even worth a top 20 pick? :roll:

[midatlantic09]

Too bad Mudiay can't shoot at all...

[midatlantic09]

Shit, is Rubio even worth a top 20 pick? :roll:

Honestly, he's probably worth a lottery pick in the 8-14 range, but nothing above that. He's definitely NOT worth the #4 pick.

Rubio isn't much better than a playoff Dellavedova.

[The JKidd Kid]

I wouldn't trade the nets 29th pick for him and that contract he gonna get let alone the 4th overall pick.

[LikeABosh]

Rubio is a ****ing joke. He was decent before his ACL injury, good defender. Now he can't even defend like he used to. Literally one of the worst scorers ever.

[navy]

Honestly, he's probably worth a lottery pick in the 8-14 range, but nothing above that. He's definitely NOT worth the #4 pick.

I'm not even sure if Rubio is much better than Dellavedova.
Damn. Dellavedova cant even dribble. :lol

[BlakFrankWhite]

Would trade the 14th pick.

Wouldn't mind him as the back up PG to Goatbrook

[navy]

Would trade the 14th pick.

Wouldn't mind him as the back up PG to Goatbrook
Scott Brooks would've played him at shooting guard.

[BlakFrankWhite]

Scott Brook would've played him at shooting guard.

:oldlol:

[niko]

That's such a bad rumor, it's a ball control PG when the Knicks don't play that style, making money they don't want to pay, for years when they don't want cap blocks who isn't even that good for the Knicks pick. Why not just refuse to make the pick and at least not have his salary?

[StephHamann]

Rubio should come to the Mavs.

Him and Parsons would make one sexy team.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Too bad Mudiay can't shoot at all...

Hes 18.... Westbrook shot like 40% from the ft line in college

[Xiao Yao You]

Makes no sense in the triangle but the Knicks have a history of throwing money away. See Carmelo last year.

[smoovegittar]

We already have a "Rubio".

Nice try. Keep reaching...

[JerrySeinfeld]

there are better options at #4 than ricky rubio

although I can see how Phil would want rubio for the triangle

[JerrySeinfeld]

he's a ball control PG yes but he has a high IQ and seems like a guy who could master the triangle and under the right coaching and mentoring could be molded into a perfect fit for the offense and basically an extension of the coach on the floor, running the offense.

have to remember that rubio is a great defender as well. he's honestly the perfect PG to be the 4th or 5th option on a championship team, so long as he is committed to the game which I think he has had problems with.

that being said, he ain't worth #4

[PleezeBelieve]

I like Rubio on the Knicks.

Would entertain this deal.

[QuebecBaller]

Knicks, wake up! We're not in 2009 anymore

:lol

[ShackEelOKneel]

Rubio is not worth the 4th pick.

[Foster5k]

:oldlol:

I remember when Rubio was all the rage. Then, reality checked in.

[ralph_i_el]

New York Nopicks!

[Eric Cartman]

Ricky Rubio for the 14th pick?

Thunder get a true point guard and goatbrook moves down to the 2.

[Relinquish]

I wouldn't even trade the 60th pick for Rubio. I might take him for a glass of water and a ham sandwich though.

[RoseCity07]

I'd trade the Blazers pick for Rubio.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

:bowdown:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Would be funny as hell if the Knicks did this

[SwishSquared]

If I'm the Wolves, I try to "sweeten" this offer with Pekovic or Martin, or even both lol. See what it takes to get Phil to give up a top lotto pick haha. There's a better shot of Mudiay developing his offensive game than Rubio does at this point, too.

Plus, Wolves could get out of long term contracts so their new core could grow together.

[chips93]

Too bad Mudiay can't shoot at all...

he hit like mid 30s from 3 in china, as a 19 year old

[Meticode]

Rubio shouldn't be a part of the Wolves future. While he's a great point guard to run an offense, he is utterly horrible offensively. His shooting has either stayed the same or regressed in his four seasons in the league. 36% from the field, 26% from three? That's not going to cut it for a NBA point guard. You got to at least hit something at a decent clip.

[Meticode]

he hit like mid 30s from 3 in china, as a 19 year old
I can't take any play in China seriously. Guys who are near-scrubs in the NBA go over there, get paid millions and score like 25 points a game shooting over people that are shorter than 6'0" tall.

Ask J.R. Smith. He was the second coming of Jordan over there.

[Eric Cartman]

:bowdown:
Why are we not funding this?

[Meticode]

Ask J.R. Smith. He was the second coming of Jordan over there.
I can only imagine. Dude was unstoppable over there, Hell some games when he just finds his stroke he's unstoppable here. Just throw it up and hit the shot.

[Euroleague]

Honestly, he's probably worth a lottery pick in the 8-14 range, but nothing above that. He's definitely NOT worth the #4 pick.

Rubio isn't much better than a playoff Dellavedova.

I have been saying here for years before Rubio came to the NBA how over hyped he was, how terrible he was at shooting, how he can't score, etc.

But now you are just outright going into crazy town.

[Euroleague]

:oldlol:

I remember when Rubio was all the rage. Then, reality checked in.

I'm still waiting for this forum to admit I was right about him. The forum said it would admit I was right if everything I said about him turned out true.

Everything I said about him turned out true. Still not a word from the forum though...

[Euroleague]

You do realize that in China Americans are only allowed to guard other Americans right? And that they have an unwritten agreement between other that they don't guard each other. They play zero defense against each other all game long, which is why the stats there are so absurd.

So that means he shot 30s against ZERO defense all season. Not exactly impressive.

Bold part is a complete lie.

[buddha]

if the Wolves get both Towns and WCS

my goodness.

I'd trade Rubio and Pek for that 4th pick in a heartbeat.

[noob cake]

Rubio hasn't been worth 4th pick for a few years. Lavine + Rubio might be worth 4th.

[imnew09]

Rubios contract is pricy ao fk that. I stopped supporting after seeing so many i injuries from him

[RedBlackAttack]

I'm assuming this was offered from the Wolves to the Knicks... because they deserve to be hung up on immediately. If the Knicks ever actually considered this -- which I highly doubt -- they are forever destined to be a cellar dweller.

Terrible offer is terrible.

[Euroleague]

Pekovic? WTF? Pekovic is worth way more than a #4 draft pick.

Terrible offer is terrible.Flip definitely started this convo because he wants to pair Towns and Russell with Wiggins and the others. I think it may make sense to move some of their vets with long-term commitments- some of these guys will be too old once the young talent (hopefully) is ready to start making sustained playoff runs. This isn't a squad that's trying to placate Love by making moves to get to playoffs. Full rebuild mode right now.

Curious what you guys think- what would entice Phil to give up that pick? Rubio, Martin, and Pekovic for Calderon and #4? I wouldn't do that deal (too worried about their injury histories, contracts, and impact), but I honestly think somebody can win a trade with Phil on this lotto pick. I legit think they will try to move it, even post-draft.

Smart move by Flip to try to troll around to get another lotto pick.

[Lebron23]

This is a terrible move by the Knicks. Rubio is injury prone, and a terrible shooter.

Mudiay has a higher ceiling than him.

[kNicKz]

Nooooooooooooooo

[Sarcastic]

Unfounded rumor. Everyone knows Phil is taking Trey Lyles or Jerian Grant with the 4th pick

[LAZERUSS]

Rubio wouldn't be worth a 4th round pick, if they had that many rounds, much less a 4th overall.

[bdreason]

I'm not sure I would give any 1st round pick for Rubio, let alone the 4th overall pick.

[BlakFrankWhite]

Rubio wouldn't be worth a 4th round pick, if they had that many rounds, much less a 4th overall.

exaggerate much.

Anyways...I'd trade Lamb,Novak and the the 14th pick for him.

[Fallen Angel]

How many people in this thread actually watched Rubio this season? None? Okay.

[Sportal]

Pekovic? WTF? Pekovic is worth way more than a #4 draft pick.

Even with Pekovic being almost a sure fire 18/10 a game man. I would still move him and get the #4 pick... If you want your team to evolve and your prospects to get better.

Not sure who the Wolves would pick at #4 though...?

Assuming the team lines up (with Rubio/Pek shipping out)

Dieng
Towns
Wiggins
KMart(Shabazz?)
LaVine

Who do the Wolves pick? Russell? Mudiay? Maybe WCS? Is/will he be better than Dieng...?

[Timmy D for MVP]

I love Rubio as much as the next guy.

He's not worth a lottery pick. Unless he's secretly become great at finishing at the rim and an average shooter or vice versa.

[coin24]

Rubio wouldn't be worth a 4th round pick, if they had that many rounds, much less a 4th overall.


:lol :lol :lol

Best thing you've ever posted laz:cheers: couldn't agree more.
Rubio is fkn useless

[EwingMan]

Ricky Rubio for the 14th pick?

Thunder get a true point guard and goatbrook moves down to the 2.

i really like this.
