Separate moves to upgrade T'wolves defensively

Cavs/Wolves

MIN Gives: Tyus Jones and Bjelica
MIN Gets: Iman Shumpert

Sixers/Wolves

MIN Gives: Bazz and Rubio
MIN Gets: Nerlens Noel, TJ McConnel


Potential Lineup:

PG: McConnel/Dunn
SG: Shumpert
SF: Wiggins
PF: Noel/Dieng
C: Towns/Aldrich

Wolves will get LaVine back next season and they will probably have a top 10 pick as well. I know everyone wants to make the playoffs this year but it might be better to upgrade the defense and aquire a bench in the offseason.

Next Years Potential Lineup:

PG: Dunn/McConnel
SG: LaVine/Shumpert
SF: Wiggins/Stephenson
PF: Noel/Dieng
C: Towns

They would have flexibility with the pick next year to take a PG if Dunn isn't working out or a Wing to provide scoring off the bench. I think the defensive upgrade is key though. They have guys that can score in Towns, LaVine, and Wiggins.

Sixers say No.

Just imagine Rubio's creative passing and ability to make plays alongside Embiid, Simmons, and Saric. That's the type of point guard Philly needs. Someone willing to distribute the rock to those 3.

That's most of what Mcconell does, pus helps the team with his energy. Also simmons is going to be the distributor when he comes back, so no need for rubio.

I was just throwing an idea out there based on rumors I keep seeing about Philly interested in Rubio. I agree, McConnell has been doing great lately and ditto on Simmons. I just think Rubio is the veteran PG that could make all those young pieces fit. I am also a Wolves fan that is trying to fix the team's defensive woes.

Rubio isn't making the pieces fit in minnasota. Why would that change in philly?
