Ricky Rubio or George Hill?

Depends on cost to acquire him... the timing is awkward too. Rubio is an enigma. Can't shoot and also doesn't finish at the rim... if he could do either I'd love him (but that is why he's available).

He's had his fair share of injuries too. i think he is a guy that could have been great had he had the development and coaching staff we do, but it may be too late to fix him.

If you asked me to choose between Hill at 4/80, Deron at 2/15-20, or acquiring Rubio for either a first round pick this year or the OKC pick I would choose the Hill, Deron, and Rubio options in that order.

I don't think it would take just one late round pick to pry him away though. I may be wrong. I love this year's draft so I don't think I want to trade either the 24 or 30.

They tried trading him for Rose at the trade deadline. If we could get Rubio for Burks that would be amazing.

The funny thing is that the 2 things people complain the most about with Exum is that he cant finish at the rim and cant shoot the three well. He is doing better at both of those over Rubio. People would not like Rubio here I am guessing. Although Rubio does do some other things better than Exum I think he is not that big of an improvement over what Exum was the last half of this season, let along the potential of what Exum is next season.

True... I'd do that all damn day... I think his better play at the end of the year increased his value to Minny... I also think Minnesota turned that deal down.

I've always though passing was the hardest thing to do in the NBA and dude is a maestro... always puzzled he could never shoot or finish adequately. It's like someone doing advanced trig, but struggling with algebra.

He's an amazing passer. I don't think his defense is an issue, either. Looking at the Wolves roster, they have a need for a backup SG and Burks would fill that need, as well as be insurance in the event Wiggins or Muhammad get injured (Burks could play some SF). Assuming they'd want more than just Burks though, depends on what they'd want. DL no doubt has a handful of scenarios in his head and once the dominoes begin falling he will adjust his plan.

He's a really good defender... gets his hands on a lot of balls.

If it was Burks for Rubio I'd do it right now and we could deal with the Hill fallout later.
 
I've always liked Rubio as a floor general. He does that very well, but not much else (except maybe defense). Like someone else said already, we'd have to surround him with good shooters, which is something we need to do anyway. He's interesting for sure, but I still think if we can't get George back affordably, DWill would be my next choice. I'd hate to pay a huge premium for Hill and shoot ourselves in the foot.
 
I mean if we couldn't re-sign Hill Rubio is a fine target if the price is right. I just don't think we'd do a pre-draft deal unless we were stealing him.

If he shot the 3 at 40% instead of 30% he'd be ideal and his contract is really good. I think there will be good options outside of Hill if the draft falls the right way... was looking for a good situation for Bledsoe if Phoenix gets a PG... I think the return will be less than ideal for them and I think most teams would have Bledsoe as more valuable than Rubio.
