Ricky Rubio - Take the Money and Limp

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Exum seems like a no brainer as long as it's a team friendly contract. Yes he will only play 50% of games but we can play him at the 3 or 1 and he can defend
 
Exum is fine. Seems to get along with the guys. Makes what we gave up for Allen even less lol.
 
A year ago there were people saying Cedi should get time at the point.
I’m stumped. My only reaction options are like, love, wow, angry, and a couple of others, when what I really need is “whatinthefuckwerethosepeoplethinking?”.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Rubio. Great passer, floor general and defender.

The jumper never got to the point where he would be a true All star level talent but still just a really good baller overall
 
I wonder what happens if he plays super great this year. Do we flip him or try to sign him long term? Cavs really need a guy like him

Not sure what his next contract is gonna look like, but it'd be tough to commit $10M+ to a key reserve before we are confident we have an answer to our need at wing.

Don't get me wrong, I would love for Ricky to play well enough to force us into making that tough decision, and I don't think it's that far-fetched. Personally, I'm hoping he plays well enough to be flipped for a FRP at the deadline.

Rubio and Collin work for Ingram...or Jaylen...not saying it'll happen, but it works.

I think it is the hard part of the rebuild. We need guys that can help win. Actual pieces we can add to the team. The first round pick is cool in theory, but we need contributors, so unless that pick is further packaged, trading Rubio for pick makes us worse
 
He hasn't played in a season with 82 games yet either.

How many point guards in the NBA do? If you look at the NBAs top point guards Steph, Kyrie, CP3, all seem to be injured quite often, thinking down the list of every nba starting PG I feel like all of them miss a few games a year. Part of being slim 6.0-6.3ft taking a pounding every night in a physical league filled with enhanced 250 pound beasts

Well you might be onto something with the Pelicans. Griffin got very little in return for Ball, then whiffed on getting Lowry, and spent FRPs like they were going out of style when he was in Cleveland. I could totally see him trading a future asset for Rubio if he can't find a legit PG elsewhere.

CP3 and Kyrie are made of glass. That's been known for a long while. Most of your starting PGs are running on average 75 games a season.
