Quotes from the Wolves forums after trading Rubio - "I wanna cry simply. I love Minny and Ricky"

[candrew]

All nice quotes but a little perspective is desperately needed here.

The Wolves have lost 170 games in the last 3 years...one-seven-zero. They've been garbage since Garnett left and not that good the last few years he was there.

Rubio has been a like-able piece in an otherwise steaming pile of ****.

QS has raised the bar exponentially the last two years. Fans expect winning from here on out.

No one around here is gonna be satisfied with a nice kid who tries hard every night.

Has Ricky ever played in an offense that tried to generate shots for him from where he likes to shoot? Doing that + limiting the amount of times he's holding the ball in the final seconds of the shot clock are easy things for Q to implement and will make a huge difference.

Why are you being so rational?

Don't you know he played with Love and Wiggins and KAT?

adequate shooting can be learned/taught. court vision is much harder to pick up, and he has it. i'm remaining positive.

Watching his highlight videos has me optimistic just based on the fact that most of the other players on his team are absolute scrubs. The wolves have been super top heavy for a long time it seems.

As a backup to a player like Hill I would be ecstatic. As our full-time starter I am more than a little skeptical. It could be a great thing, or it could stifle the offense if he cannot hit the open 3, since that is largely what our offense is geared to generate. We will see I guess. I for one really hope we are not done with the off-season just yet. A lot depends on the next few moves.

I would be worried about his shot if we still had Corbin. But I think Coach Q and crew can help him develop a weapon. He is near automatic from the free throw line, so it's not that he lacks the motor control or anything along those lines. What Slick Rick has though is damn good court vision and a very good defensive tenacity that is going to be even better with Gobert having his back. I've read in a few articles that some of his issues has to due with in-game fatigue spent from doing everything. Consider that the Wolves, outside of a few players, sucked. The Jazz, even without Hayward, are a better team and have overall better players. Long story short, he won't have to carry as much burden.

I think we'll be pleasantly surprised this upcoming season.
