Rubio may be about to come off the board. Don't be shocked if Minn. packages 5 and 6 for No. 2 from Memphis.

New T-Wolves GM David Kahn promised to make a splash - http://bit.ly/18WlRj - and I'm told it's Rubio if Griz comply and give up # 2.

Sam Amick, via Twitter

Wiz traded the number 5 to Minnesota. Minnesota has the 5th and 6th pick, which they could package to move up to 2.

I thought the deal to pick up the #5 was good for Minny

Now watch them undo the whole thing by pulling the trigger on this stupid deal. I would rather have two prospects at #5 and #6 than any one player in this draft not named Blake Griffin.

Kahn wants to "make a splash"

He’s been promising it since he ousted McHale. In the PR department it’s an accomplishment, but I agree that you could probably do pretty damn good with #5 and #6 with your rebuilding efforts.

The Wolves could potentially nab 2 of Thabeet/Curry/Evans/Harden/Flynn/Jennings if they just held onto both picks.

Chad Ford just has his ugly mug on the article for some reason. He didn’t write it.

To be fair

Ford mentioned Minnesota could be a player to move up to 2 before this trade even happened.

I’m listening to today’s BS Podcast. Ford was already speculating that Minnesota would try to package some picks to move up to Memphis’ spot.

Side note

If you’re a Rubio fan, don’t listen to the podcast. Simmons and Ford love Rubio, and it might be the most depressing podcast I’ve ever listened to. Lots of discussion of how Sacramento would be idiots to pass on him, but it’s ok cause he’ll probably be gone.

Me too

I think with the guys they have right now adding two guys like Curry and Evans who will contribute right away is the right move. They’ll be contending much sooner and for a longer period. But drafting Rubio and waiting for him to develop probably wastes Al Jefferson’s prime. I doubt they’ll wanna make the mistake of doing that with another great big man.

I don’t really put much stock in Simmons’ opinions unless he’s talking about MLB, to be honest. I listened to the podcast where he filled in his NCAA bracket. He admitted he hadn’t been following college basketball much at all. I haven’t seen/heard anything since then to make me believe he’s an authority on evaluating this draft’s talent.

I happen to like pithy remarks and 80s references, so I have no problem with the guy.

Just remember

When the whole draft process started, a lot of folks (not just here) viewed this as two players and then a huge dropoff. Those two players were Griffin and Rubio. Now, if you didn’t let any of the workouts and rumors sway your opinion, you could view this as trading two second-tier picks for a top-tier pick.

There goes Rubio

Time will tell if this is a good move for MN. They are giving up a lot of assets and taking on more salary to get him. If Rubio is Nash, then it’s a great move. If Rubio is the next Brevin Knight (good passing and D, no jumper), then this will be a tough pill to sallow for their fans. Khan really is staking his reputation to Rubio’s at this point.

Rather than trade both #5 and #6, leaving them with no picks

My guess is Kevin Love and #5 for #2. That gives them #2 (Rubio or Thabeet) and #6 (whoever’s left of Evans/Harden).

by nbrans on Jun 23, 2009 5:27 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Love

I forget where I read it, so it obviously carries less weight, but I heard Minny was balking at including Love

Never forget: I am a complete idiot

by Exhibit G on Jun 23, 2009 5:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Also

Think of it this way . . . if they take Rubio, then there’s no other BIG to speak of in this draft.

Love ?? Evans
Love ?? Harden

If Kevin Love was in this draft, he’d be in the Top 3.

In my opinion:
5 & 6 < Love & 5/6

by smgmatt on Jun 23, 2009 5:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But they already have Jefferson

Jefferson and Love are basically identical players and they can’t really play at the same time because neither one is a center. I think they could give up Love to balance their roster.

  1. and Love for #2 may be too much, though, I agree with you there.

by smgmatt on Jun 23, 2009 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ah

I think in this scenario they would take Thabeet #2 rather than Rubio.

by nbrans on Jun 23, 2009 5:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

In that case...
Thabeet > Love

By a factor of a Top 6 pick?

If Minny thinks so, then you might be in for some bad news when Rubio still falls to #4 (unless they can convince Presti to trade #3 for #5/#6 & #18 . . . wouldn’t that be something).

by smgmatt on Jun 23, 2009 6:16 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I already agree

That #5 and Love for #2 is too much. Maybe #18 and Love for #2 or something along those lines.

by nbrans on Jun 23, 2009 6:18 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow

That would be a steal of a deal for Minny (assuming they think Thabeet is an upgrade – or better frontcourt partner for Jefferson), because they’d still have the 5 & 6 picks to fill their backcourt in a guard-heavy draft. Or they then overpay and package 5 & 6 if they still think Rubio is worth the hype and get back another later pick with #3 from Presti (#5 & #6 & #3 & #25?).

I even think this is a pretty good deal for Memphis because they don’t have an Al Jefferson blocking Love’s way, and they’d probably take him at #2 if he were in this draft anyway. Presti would happily trade #3 for #5 & #6 because Harden will most likely still be there, plus he gets another player as well.

Ok, that just depressed me . . . so I’m going to go lay down.

by smgmatt on Jun 23, 2009 6:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah. Let's say Minny trades love and ends up with #2, #5 and #6

I think they go Thabeet, Curry and Evans/Harden

Curry
Evans
?
Jefferson
Thabeet

Not a bad start.

by nbrans on Jun 23, 2009 6:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Gomes/Brewer

Both play the 3, and that’s what I’m saying.

“Big Splash” indeed.

Even if they overpaid to get Rubio, swingmen are the easiest position to fill.

Love and the #6 for the #2?

by misterbrister on Jun 23, 2009 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

nope

Still too much.

by Doubl3Dos3 on Jun 23, 2009 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Way too much.

Love would be a top 5 pick in this draft, easily, perhaps even the 2nd pick.

by cabz on Jun 23, 2009 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

They don't even have to package #5 and #6...

Trading both of those just to move up 3 spots is actually massively overpaying in this draft. I think even just #5 + #18 + another pick could be enough. They could end up with Rubio + Thabeet, which makes for a nice young core. Eventually they could trade one of Jefferson/Love for another very good young player depending on what needs are most pressing.

Anyway, I am not going to cry over this. If Rubio goes, Rubio goes. Stick to taking the best player on the board, which probably is Evans. Hope for John Wall or one of the good bigs next year.

On who they think the Kings might take, then the Wolves #18 and paying #5 salary versus #4 salary are both selling points for MN.

if the Wolves do that, they’re dumb IMO. They need a lot of help. Getting a Curry and Evans would help them more.

But if they do go get Rubio …. more power to them. Let’s get the Evans or Flynn jersey ready for print.

Question (to put things into perspective)

If for some reason (e.g. Griffin/Thabeet/Harden) Rubio still falls to #4, who here trades him for #6 & #18?

by smgmatt on Jun 23, 2009 5:37 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Not I, but I love my fish tacos.

He really has the greatest upside (oh god I have read too much draft info) out of any of the prospects. If Evans becomes a star in the league its as a SG not a PG. Flynn is a solid pick at #6 and if you can move into the lottery with #18 and #23 to pick a guy like Terrence Williams that would be great. I just feel that we need stars and Rubio has the best possibility of filling a need and becoming a star (best of both worlds).

Again

If it’s 5/6 & Kevin Love (or even 5 & 6), Memphis takes the deal and runs.

The question is whether Rubio is worth more or less than 5/6 & 18.

Optimistic?

Maybe i’m just being optimistic as well but since Minny just traded their PG/SG and SG/SF I don’t see them combining the picks to move up. At 5 and 6 they could end up with Evans and Curry and their roster would be better filled out. Unless Memphis does a 6 & 16 for 2 swap I still think we land Ricky.

A team comprised of

Curry
Evans
whoever their SF is
Love
Jefferson

that’s a scary young team. They’d be insane to just trade those two for Rubio. If we had the 4 and the 5 or the 4 and the 6 and Petrie traded up for Rubio I’d be pissed too.

Exactly. That’s why that’s not happening. The only think I’m afraid of is one of their picks and 16. But then I think if Memphis is planning on trading down they want Evans or Thabeet who won’t be there if Rubio goes 2 and Thabeet goes to OK.

At this point I’d take Evans at 4, and package him with #23 and Donte for Rubio. That’s the most I’m willing to give up.

I don’t think Minnesota has their eyes on the #2 pick. Why would you make a trade for a big asset like the #5 pick only to hope that you can trade one of your top-6 picks and change for #2?

You misread my comment, I think.

Acquiring #5 does not exclude anything. Acquiring #5 in the hope of trading for #2 (hope, and not certainty, as in not yet having a deal agreed to in principle beforehand) just seems silly.

Because then the backup plan to getting #2 is that you still have two really great picks

Perhaps.

But when trading for a draft pick two days before the draft I assume most teams would value it based on who they think is available at that spot, not a what-if scenario in which the interest of the other party is unconfirmed. Call me crazy, but I just don’t believe most GMs would leave something like that to chance (then again, we’re talking about Wallace and a replacement for McHale that has not yet had a chance to establish his sanity, or lack of).
