Yeah, let's sign the worst starting PG in the league. He doesn't belong in the NBA.
He can't shoot, but he is a great passer. I imagine that if he could ever develop a consistent jumper it would be with the Spurs. I don't know about his defense, but I assume as a Euro, he plays no defense. My biggest problem with him, however, would be how he spends half the season on the IR. Other than that, I would enjoy watching his passing game...it reminds me of Manu. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap...-In-Right-Deal

no dude.
Rubio to LA to pass all the passes to Kobe
I'd take pretty much anyone for porker tbh
As bad as Parker's contract is, Rubio's is worse.
When Tim retires the Spurs will suck. Might as well enjoy some fancy passes while the Spurs are losing by 20 points. His contract is more or less the same as Parker's.
No, he stinks worse than Tony...although he wouldn't cost nearly as much?
DECISIONS DECISIONS!
I don't know why people keep saying this. If the Spurs keep Kawhi & Danny, that is a nice little foundation for the next 3-5 years (especially if Kawhi keeps improving). Will they be year after year contenders like they have been? Probably not, but suck? I don't know.
Lol. They've finally given up on him in 2K. That's how bad it's gotten.
For those who don't know:
Rubio
2015-2016: $12,700,000
2016-2017: $13,400,000
2017-2018: $14,100,000
2018-2019: $14,800,000
Parker
2015-2016: $13,437,500
2016-2017: $14,445,313
2017-2018: $15,453,126
2018-2019: Free agent
Yes, Rubio actually has a worse contract relative to his production than Parker.
Well, given that they drafted two point guards in the lottery, and one of those two was not Stephen Curry, who was available, yes, things are pretty bad in T'Wolf land. You can only expect them to blow the #1 this year as well.
I used to think that. But the Clipper series was an eye opener. Kawhi showed up for a few games, but really only Timmy showed up to win that series. I'm just skeptical Kawhi is a number 1. He feels more like a number 2. And we don't even know if Danny will be on the team next year, but even if he is, he's only a role player. If we were in the East, maybe the team sans Manu and Tim is good enough to make the playoffs and win a first round series. But in the West, they don't make the playoffs without Tim.
Kawhi doesn't have to be a number one to be a good team. He's proven he can at least be a number 3, number 2 seems likely and number 1 isn't unrealistic. When Tim leaves (and Manu) the Spurs actually get to replace those guys. Will they get another Tim? Very likely not, but I don't think they will suck. They are a great front office, will have some solid pieces and then can use cap space to fill out the team.
I don't totally disagree. But I would say that Parker is as good as he will get, and even if last year was an aberration, he will still have a decline over the next three years because he is on the wrong side of 30. Rubio is 24 and has been on a team that has done a lousy job of developing its players' talents. No question he is an elite passer. He came into the league that way. Could he develop a jumper with the Spurs? If Kawhi could, I think Rubio could. The question is will he be healthy (he has missed most of the last couple of seasons). If he developed a jumper, I think that contract would actually be a good deal. A lot of "ifs" on development and health, but it at least allows discussion during the summer and a month out of the draft.
Yes, they have a great front office. The problem is that it is hard to get a top notch free agent. Most teams have to improve through the draft and just make the right picks. Look at GS. Their free agent signings have been mostly mediocre. I think they hit it big on the Bogut trade; that was just a smart move. But most of their talent has come from getting the right picks in the draft: Curry, Barnes, Green, and Thompson. I hope that we can rebuild quickly, but if we can't get free agents, and the team fills the Duncan spot with a mediocre big, then we win 40 games and get a late lottery spot, which would suck for us. Better off losing and getting good lottery picks and hoping Spurs hit payday with them.
Well, when someone says blanketly that "Spurs will suck when Tim is gone" I don't think that is true. It's definitely possible, but whether it's through draft/fa/trades or all (which it will be) I don't think the Spurs will suck. Maybe they miss the playoffs some, but I don't think you see the franchise crumble which is what suck implies to me.
Well, suck by Spur standards, which are admittedly lofty. I think the bigger point is that Rubio is fun to watch (for his passing) and it would be better to watch him play for a Spurs team that is no longer a contender than to watch Tony, who will be in decline and probably not happy playing on a non-contender for the first time in his career.
Lmao at Rubio. I guess at the gm. I know what they were trying to do, increase the market with a foreigner who could throw decent passes. But seriously I would not trade any piece of sa for Rubio save errors.
For what Rubio gets paid, might as well just bring back Nando if I just wanted someone who passes. I rather just keep developing Cory.
No, no.
I wouldn't even trade Ayres (assuming he were signed at least year's cap number, and assuming the Spurs had cap space to make the trade happen) for Rubio. Opportunity cost is the lost cap space. It's why you almost never see trades happen in the NFL. Possibly the worst shooter in the league at his position at a cap clogging value? I'd rather at least have Parker's scoring. His defense is probably much better than Parker's though.
That got is hurt most of the season every year for one thing..
He is but he is 100 times better than Parker
And he is skinny
Rubio is Rondo, minus even his remaining ty defense. He is ineffective without the ball, a first, second, and third strike all at the same time in our offense.
