No game thread? Favors OUT tonight

Just a random semi-related note..

Once while I was on a train in Spain, I heard two teens talking up Rubio. He was probably still pretty young then, certainly not in the NBA yet. Since I didn't get to talk basketball with too many Spaniards, we had a fun conversation. They kept calling Rubio the "Spanish Stockton," and they were convinced he would be a better player.

Obviously, I think they were wrong on that last point, but I do see shades of Stockton in Rubio.

Random semi-related anecdote over.

Stockton passed up good shots to get better shots. Rubio is constantly running around looking for any other shot but his own because he 100% can't shoot or finish at the rim.

I've never been a Rubio fan but he was incredibly disruptive tonight. I wonder how good he'd look with our defense.

If they decided he was for sale I'd give them a listen. Say they draft Dunn and want to clear some playing time for him. If it was say one first rounder I might go for that. Not sure if they are interested... I definitely wouldn't pay a premium for him but he's interesting.

I might be one of the few people to agree with you on this site. I think his stock is (and has been) too low for his talent. I'd definitely listen.

I love Rubio. LaVine playing at the 2 and shooting well has been a big help for his game, gives him some space. Him with Hayward and Hood would be awesome.

:thumbs up: per usual

Not hell no, but hell ****ing no.

I dont want Rubio and his contract on this team. Burks will be a FA soon, that is way better than paying Rubio 10 million a year.

lol per usual
