Grizzlies should take Rubio

[Rastapopoulos]

Just to fuck with OKC. I'm starting to hate Sam Presti:

With just hours to go before the NBA draft officially kicks off, there is still plenty of uncertainty regarding who is going where exactly. Oklahoma City is heavily involved in trade talks for the #3 team, but appears to be asking for too much for the rights to Ricky Rubio.

Minnesota appeared to be playing it cool in regards to Rubio early on, but has emerged as a major suitor for his services this evening, which will make things very interesting leading up to the #3 pick. OKC seems to be asking for Al Jefferson right now…will they settle on Kevin Love?

Right now it appears that Oklahoma City is leaning towards picking Rubio and keeping him as a trading chip to potentially use this summer. A few sources we spoke with mentioned that they still expect Rubio to end up in New York when it’s all said and done.

Oklahoma City is also active in trade talk with Phoenix, with their main target appearing to be Robin Lopez. They are reportedly offering Phoenix their 2010 unprotected pick back in return for Lopez, but that seems like a very high price for the Suns to pay.

They could easily take him and use him as leverage if OKC is really banking on taking him to use as trade.

Take one out of the KP play book.

I don't really care for Memphis but I would like to see them mess everyone up especially Okc.

The Griz won't do it.

i think they should draft patty mills #2 and re-sign miles for the max.

 

[Minstrel]

Whoever will trade Rubio to Portland (without requiring Roy, Oden or Aldridge in return) should take him.

I still think Harden will be part of the Thunder

I'm fine with OKC getting Rubio and having to ship out Westbrook to us for a song when Russell pitches a fit from hell.

I still think Harden will be part of the Thunder

Nice call
