Name the player in the draft worthy of George bc Rubio defense and contract, Levine inability shoot just devalued that pick. Towns and Wiggins for George.

this trade starts and ends with Wiggins.

Shizee, your comment makes no sense. Rubio is an elite defensive PG and LaVine is a good shooter who is getting better.

And to even suggest Minnesota would trade Towns for any player in the entire NBA is completely asinine.

Cool Aide Carl, it's your world, when you get anybody to agree with you, when you say Rubio defense is elite.

Shizee you are saying that Lavine can't shoot? 45% fg, 38.9% from three and he is improving. he is quick, can jump and has long arms. there is a chance he can become great.
Rubio is a great passer (fast brake, or for slow game) and known as a good ball theaf. (12.7 mln next season is going to be considered as a good contract because of the salary cap growth)
Don't forget bjelica who was great in europe and he will be better next season for sure.
so two good peaces+ back up pf + top 10 pick in draft and you are saying that is a bad offer?

if minny wants PG13 they have to sent us Wiggins or Towns.

Rubio is t an elite defender. He has bloated steal statistics which mask the fact that he is overly aggressive going for the steal and ultimately loses his man and fails on team defense. Rubio is so over rated in this league. He is essentially an average pg. decent defense. Nice distributor. can't shoot for crap. Probably can come up with nearly 10 better pgs.

I agree that if Minny wants Paul George anything less than Wiggins or towns isn't going to be enough, which is why this trade will never happen. Minnesota isn't trading either for anybody. Lavine and Rubio are open for discussion but the twolves aren't trading away 20 year old true 2 way cornerstones for a quick fix, given 2years they'll be as good as any of players they'd be traded for and 5-10 years younger.

BTW, I find it hilarious that you can literally tell who's watched a twolves game by the comments about rubio. Those who have know he does everything but score at an above average rate, those who haven't and just read stat lines talk like he's below average at everything. Hell never be a superstar but wait till his effect on a 7 game series becomes obvious.

Stop acting like Rubio is a top 10 PG in the league, he's not. I'd rather have Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Wall, Irving, Lillard, Lowry, Isiah Thomas, Kemba, Dragic, Beldsoe, Knight over Rubio.

Never said he was top ten. More like 10-15, with above average attributes that would help a decent team win. And perfect for the makeup of his current team. Someone LIKE kyrie or Westbrook would dominate the ball and negatively effect the overall offensive flow.

Shizzee, do you pay any attention to the Wolves? While I agree that the asking price for George would begin with Wiggins so this trade would never happen, to say Rubio is a bad defensive Point Guard is ridiculous.

ESPN's Defensive Real Plus Minus has Rubio ranked 2nd only to CP3, he was again 2nd in steals, and he received votes for the All-Defensive team.
