Wolves are now saying that they knew he wouldn’t play here next year. How does that make sense? This is a total spin job. So they trade Foye and Miller to get someone who wants to stay in Spain? C’mon, people, something’s up with that. Everyone likes the transparency of Kahn, but this is anything but. It’s spin, spin, spin.

The two point guard picks make no sense; first, Rubio decides to play for Minnesota right away and get handed the starting job even if Flynn out play him in practice or games, how would that make Flynn feels and how will Rubio feel about himself? If he comes and he just as productive as Flynn, why should he gets the starting position and Flynn come off the bench; would that make Flynn unhappy? Third, the only person more visibly upset than Rubio last night was Curry and Thabet. Fourth, Why wouldn’t Minnesot consider a package of David Lee or Nate Robinson coupled with Either Hill or Chandler, A future First Round Pick or someone else obtain in a three-way trade? Fifth, What if Rubio decides he don’t want to play in Minnesota (and there is a strongly hint of this), Would Minnesota hold the kid Hostage? What good would this do, if someone don’t want to do something, they are not going to pay $6 million to do it. Six, there is a number of combination that the Wolves could have gone with that would have made them contenders for the playoffs even if they play in the better league (West) including:

Hill/Curry
Curry/Flynn
Flynn/Hill
Williams/Curry
Rozan/Flynn
Rozan/Curry

you get the picture; while you all are busy praising your GM, remember this, he is a knuckle-head with bravado to spare but he is still a knuckle-head nonetheless.

“Curry could be like Minnesota’s version of Rashard Lewis,”

Ummm yeah… Curry is at max 6′3″.. he isnt the Rashard Lewis mold…

Everyone is over reacting. From the quotes I have heard from Rubio and not “sources” The only problem is being drafted at 5 means less money which hurts his buyout which he has to pay out of his pocket. Its just the buyout, once that is settled, he will be here, and he will be great.

Why didn’t the Wolves draft Curry? Does Kahn know how good of starting five the Twolves could have been if they would have just taken Curry and Flynn? Sure they might never live down passing up on Rubio if he did become the next Pistol Pete, but at least we know we will have two of the best point guards in this draft class. Curry, as good of point guard as he is, can shoot better than any shooting guard in the league except a few allstars. Starting five for the next 3 three when they’re mature if they kept all their draft picks and took curry instead of rubio
PG - Flynn
SG - Curry
SF - Gomes
PF - Love
C - Jefferson
AND!! have Lawson, Ellington, and Calathes come off the bench if they actually left him here. And all of those guys…? weren’t on the roster two years ago. They’re so young and inexperienced. Curry could be like Minnesota’s version of Rashard Lewis, and we all know how effective he was for the Magic. My point is that the Wolves take chances that are stupid. They need to raise ticket prices with big names and WINS. not guarantees that might not even be guarantees in two years. Lets say Rubio rips up his knee next year in spain? we wasted the fifth pick on nothing. And he doesnt even want to be here.

Curry would have brought the ticket prices above five bucks to maybe seven. Rubio in Spain for the next two year will probably only lower Kahn’s respect from others. It’s bad, very bad. we should have gotten curry

Rubio is a punk. why would we draft him. he doesnt wanna be here in minne, he wants to be somewhere warm. I think he even told minne that he didnt wanna be here, just somewhere warm. he’s just another european *ussy

If I was Kahn I would tell the ten temas inquiring about Rubio to present them with an offer. Kahn, Hoiberg and Stack review each offer, counter and find the best fit for this team. I am as die hard of a Wolves fans as it comes, but two things are glaring here.
1) Rubio doesn’t care where he plays, his parnets who will be here with him, they are the ones that have to deal with the cold everyday. 41 games of the season he’ll be gone. I love Minnesota, I moved back here from AZ for the way of life(clean, schools, family) and job oppurtunites. Neither of those twop options mean anything to his family.
2) How does his skills and our team mix? He is run-n-gun type point and we are a half court team. It doesn’t make sense to me. I like what I hear from Flynn.
