Robio is every bit as important to the Wolves future as their 3 #1 picks combined. Rubio may not be John Wall.... but he probably will be the better player overall. Rubio could possibly lead the league in assists and also be on the NBA-def. team. Wall is not a ready made player... he has a few deficiencies (def./ball distributing). He's an awesome athlete that needs to become a point guard. Rubio on the other hand already is a point guard that has proven he can lead a team. Rubio straight up for the #2 pick might be equal value, but certainly not in addition to #4 pick.

(the guessing, not dropping to 4!). Wizards will take Wall. If Kahn can get #2 from Phili for the #4 and Rubio rights, then last years moves will have paid off. From what I see, Rubio will be enjoyable to watch off the bench in the NBA, but little chance of dominance. Unless someone's offering the moon, Love should be kept - Baby Davis with an upside. Jefferson is currently our only true starter, and before his surgery one of the premier PFs - give him the time Amare had to come back to form. (His play excels with a tall bruiser next to him to make space; we need a Perkins). Turner is our guy. Good fun. (the guessing, not dropping to 4!).
