They could very easily take Rubio and make a trade for Evans with the team that eventually picks him and get a piece in the process. If he winds up in Golden State, a guy like Brandan Wright might be gettable. That would be a nice haul for the Grizz.
i think theyll HAVE to take rubio. hes too good to let slip, but if they then trade him for evans, they could as people have said, get a very nice piece in the proceedings.
Rubio is a lock to go at No. 2. The only question is whether or not his rights get traded.
I really wish you had been right about this... then we might not have to lose 2 formidable years from possibly one of the most exciting pg's to ever wear sneakers.
I never understood why everyone wanted Tyreke Evans for Memphis. Yes, he's a talented player, but doesn't he more or less a (worse) version of OJ Mayo?
"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"
