If not Rubio then what?

[yamers]

you saw how the warriors looked without curry? that's us every night watching rubio clank, minus durrant...MINUS THOMPSON, MINUS DRAY.....lol....

I agree. And this is kind of looking like a 'figure it out' year anyway. So sure, let him get his groove back.

My question is what happens when/if he does. If starting tonight he shooting decently the rest of the year, great. But what if it takes awhile again? Who is the real Rubio?

That would make it really tough this offseason.

Yeah, the only way I would really want to bring Rubio back is if we get a guy like Harris or Middleton. That seems unlikely.

We need to trade Burks while he still has some value. His last 3 games have been brutal. I would rather give his minutes to O'Neale anyway. Neto is back too. We are trying to play too many people (except Rubio who seems to get minutes no matter what).

Middleton that's who we need

 

[NUMBERICA]

How bout neither.

Also fine. I guess I'm just trying to make the point that Burks doesn't get nearly enough credit and Exum gets too much.

"Potential" is a hell of a drug, I guess.

But if you keep Rubio and pay him a starter's salary, how would you pay for those other players anyway? And if Rubio keeps choking the offense, this team will end with a losing record, which at that point what possible draw does Utah have for free agents?

Rubio has his index and middle fingers taped on his right hand. I believe he injured it first game of the season. Maybe it's the explanation for the putrid shooting so far.

I broke dislocated my finger and have the same setup... on my shooting hand. It hasn’t affected shooting at all for me. Long one handed passes and catching hard passes it bothers me.

It could be part of the issue though.

Is Rubio guaranteed to get a starter's salary on his next contract?

Nope.

If he wants to find a way to stay and contribute with dramatically reduced role and pay, I'm happy to have him around. I just don't think it's realistic.

yeah, but you got dat beef-cake strength

As far as realistic gets who can be a starting PG for Utah, Dinwiddie is the clear favorite.
