I wonder if the Timberwolves would trade us Rubio and maybe someone like Shabazz for Bledsoe? Seems like they're in more of a win-now mode... Maybe that would work for them and us?

They'd do that in a millisecond. They'd let the ball boy accept that trade. Bledsoe has way more value than Rubio.

How about Bledsoe and unprotected '18 1st?

Seeing as they just added a 25ppg scorer, they are better off w/Rubio. He's a better facilitator and defender than Bledsoe, no way they'd make a move for another ball pounder.
Love, Hurts.

Bledsoe isn't as ball dominant as we tend to think and he's a much bigger threat as a shooter. Minny's biggest need is shooters and Rubio is one of the worst. They could really use a small usage pg who can shoot.

Then sign George Hill. Trade Rubio to the highest bidder, trade him to the Spurs and watch him magically become the all-star he was so hyped to be years ago :D

I was surprised to know that Bledsoe is actually a year older than Rubio.

Not saying it's likely, but domestic abusers are much more likely to escalate. In any event, suns are at high risk to have to deal with all sorts of bad legal and behavioral issues coming from him.

Thanks for all the insight. It's real contributions like this full of delirium that necessitate the block user button. You and sdc must be getting together and having a few drinks talking madness on the weekends. Time away has really turned that pessimistic cloud you carried around with you into one of optimism.
