I'm looking forward to the nasty comments we get from any players we ship out.

I'm looking forward to the nasty comments from Marcus Morris about any players we ship out.

Four guys who should give the Clippers real depth, Gallo and Jokic in particular. I wish I could say the Suns are capable of topping that offer, but between injuries and what not I honestly think we can't, at least in terms of actual players, not picks.

Blake is a great player. Not sure why the Clips would ever consider shipping him out at this point of his career.

He's a massive, massive douche. Still, the Nuggets can't do that deal. He'd walk in 16 months...

https://twitter.com/SBNationNBA/status/699280739972595712 Wonder what he would cost. Would be nice to have someone on the team that can actually pass. We know he won't jack up bad outside shots like Knight.

To be fair, pretty much every shot Rubio takes is a bad shot because he's a terrible shooter

OMG. I would trade *anything* on our roster for Rubio, maybe even Booker. I'd prefer to keep Booker, of course, because a Rubio-Booker backcourt would be phenomenal. But wow. If Ricky is available, I think he's one of the best young PGs in the league. If we are tired of ballhogging chucker PGs, Rubio is the guy we should want. Amazed that they are making him available.

Yah! Then we could trade kieff and Tucker for love and we can probably squeeze lebron out of them too if we throw in another D-League all star caliber type like Weems. Then flip Len for Cousins and a 2nd because the Kings just seem like they want change so they'll just do any trade.

Rubio
Goodwin
James
Love
Cousins

I'm with Wally. Rubio's value is not nearly that high. Everyone here must have watched games where Rubio's lack of a jumper stifled the Wolves' half-court offense. There are reasons he's never won games.

Still, I too am interested - just not *that* interested. I wouldn't give up Booker, Warren or Len, but that still leaves plenty of players I would trade for him.

I fully expect us to do something big. Bringing in Rubio would qualify.

Totally agree with this. I think they would take Bledsoe or Knight for Rubio, and we could probably get them to toss in Shabazz too. Outside of Booker, Warren, and Len, I would love to see what we could do with a pass-first guard.

Rumor being floated around involving Hawks-Heat-Rockets 3 way trade involving Howard/Hortford and....Dragic!

Doubt it happens but would be pretty funny if Dragic got traded back to Houston less then a year after he basically handpicked Miami.

Rubio/Booker/Bodgan guard lineup. Sigh it is bad that I just wish both of our expensive guards would just go away. Even though I know we will be lucky if we manage to just get rid of one of them by next season.

Rubio isn't that good. He would be interesting next to Booker but honestly Eric Bledsoe probabaly has a lot more value around the league then Rubio. Dude has 2 very bad flaws a PG can't have...1 can't shoot 2 can't stay infront of anyone.

I'd laugh. Him and Harden would be a mess.

The Cavs would have still have Kyrie and Love and they play in the East meaning they will still likely be a playoff team without LeBron. I can't see it being a huge asset.

The East is better than the West nowadays, shockingly.

Even then, Cavs will still be a playoff team with Love and Kyrie.

IMO...5 guys most likely dealt at the deadline

1.Brandon Jennings
2.Ryan Anderson
3.P.J. Tucker
4.Thaddus Young
5.Markieff Morris

Wouldn't be stunned if want of the all-stars they're talking about Howard/griffin/Hortford/Love are dealt, but think the middle tier guys on reasonable deals will headline the deadline.
