But it's his contract year. He has alot to consider cause if he comes back and they lose. Everyone will say it's all Rubios fault. Ricky if you read this sit out the next 2 games lol

If he isn't 100%, he shouldn't play. If he is 100%, he will play. I don't think sits as part of some roster experiment.

To me, the opponent doesn't matter as much as some are making it out to be. At Cleveland with Rubio, we were down at half. Against Cleveland without Rubio, we absolutely dismantled them. We are playing better, more confident, less sloppy basketball. I think Rubio helps us coming back but I think we are turning the corner with or without him.

Offensively they haven't been better by numbers. Defense has been better. If I'm rubios agent I tell him no way you're playing next 2 games. I told you I could play against the Cavs.

Its not just Donovan playing for Ricky. It's Donovan playing for Ricky AND Exum while Grayson is playing for Neto.

I think it's incredibly impressive that our offense is only marginally lower and our defense is much better.

If we had Neto right now for Grayson, I guarantee our offense is probably better overall.

Trade for a C??? We can do better than that.

I think almost every guy we want is unrealistic. Middleton, Beal, Niko (**** him anyway tbh), even Brogdan.

With the Wolves sliding, I wonder if we could get Covington. He's at 10.4M this year. Sefolosha's 5.25M, Allen's 2.07M, and Niang's 1.5M (this guy is making this much wtf) for him and KBD and a 1st.

I'd do that. They'd get a 1st, Allen, and free some cap space. I doubt it would be enough for them to bite. But to me, he's much more gettable now than any of these bigger names now or in the off-season.

I wouldn’t want to send expiring salary, I would send Exum. That kind of **** is probably what might swing a deal one way or another, but maybe you can sell them on potential.

I believe in the cap space idea again. And if we’re abandoning shopping with the space, then they need to get a player under contract that is of similar quality or better than Harris/Middleton. Gallinari comes to mind as a potential target (since the Clippers are shopping as well and that is substantial room that they could add).

Also, the Bucks are prime for plucking players from. At least as long as they prioritize re-signing either Bledsoe or Lopez.

The offence has been worse with Donovan on the floor as a team. Though individually it has helped Donovan stats and made him stand out. Though lets all be honest they have played bad teams. No one can tell me if u were Rubio u would come back against Portland and nuggets. No one would in a contract year. I'm not a Rubio fan but it's not fair to himself if he comes back tomorrow. Everyone else should want the team that has been on this winning streak. Let them play against good teams. Let's see how good they really are. Right?

I just don't see any reason why Minnesota trades Covington. He's on a bargain deal, he is a great 3 and D player and he fits next to Towns.

Ya I know Thibs absolutely loved RoCo and I think the organisation in general loves him too. He seems to be great for Towns as well which I think they value after the Butler saga.

Dario Saric on the other hand could be an interesting trade target, I don't think Minny are overly in love with him and he'd be an interesting fit for our bench unit. I think Minny would need a lot of convincing to trade Saric but he's way more realistic of a target than RoCo who's basically untouchable for the Jazz without giving up an asset they'd want to keep.
 
I think 80% of people on this forum want Ricky to play against Portland. Cause if they lose they can blame Ricky. I think it's only fair for the team who has been on this winning streak should play these next 2 games. Right?

I think if Exum didn’t go down with an ankle sprain and played good over this stretch, we wouldn’t hear all this “easy schedule” wind blowing out your *** every other post. Instead we’d hear how our resurgence correlated with Quin allowing him on the floor.

Saric just seems on the outside of that team. Really, Minnesota needs a guy like Favors so badly. Towns and Favors would be a great fit.

As for Saric, I wonder if a trade exception and a 1st and 2nd interests them if they look to tank. Saric has another year after this one then becomes a restricted free agent.
