So Portland gives good young sg in Henderson and Kaman for Pek? You shall not pass.

Wolves pass easily

Honestly don't think any team does this, Portland wants young players to help rebuild, Pek is not that
Sixers wouldn't want Rubio's contract
And the Wolves aren't trading a key piece in Rubio for a draft pick, they are trying to win soon, and this absolutely step them back.
And you still think Lavine can play point guard? You really must not have seen how bad he was there last year

For the wolves trading Rubio it would not be considered a salary dump like it is there. They could get value for him

If Rubio could shoot is like this trade more but he can't. He'd be a liability on the offensive end for spacing reasons. So Sixers pass

You wouldn't trade a protected first for Rubio? You're completely crazy. His deal will be very reasonable in 2016, he's still only 25, and he could turn into a top 10 PG pretty easily. You don't want a steal of a trade just because he's a poor shooter? You take talent when you can get it if you are that bad. There's absolutely no way you could expect to get a player as good as Rubio in the 20's of the draft.

Ben miller.
I wouldn't trade for a poor shooter. I got plenty of those already on the team. And no I would trade a first for Rubio who frankly has never lived up to the hype of the overseas player. I don't want to lock up my salary for more then this season so when we get the good core in place I can sign a super. Idk when that will be so I'd rather not waste cap on Rubio.
