Rubio is no stranger to being involved in the trade rumors lifestyle but this is the year he is moved. Let me explain why.
The draft is Thursday, June 22, which has the potential to be a draft to remember!
It’s fully loaded with names like Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball and Josh Jackson to Ike Anigbogu, TJ Leaf, and Isaiah Hartenstein.
The prospects in this draft aren’t the only reason this offseason is going to be interesting.
With rumors flying around left and right I was always told where there’s smoke there is fire.
With names like Paul George and Jimmy Butler being tossed out in trade rumors teams are calling non-stop.
Reports from Sam Amico were that they Cleveland Cavaliers were interested in a trade for Paul George.
The Cavaliers aren’t the only ones interested in George as multiple teams have surfaced during the week.
The door for a Paul George trade was pushed wide open when Adrian Wojnarowski reported that George intends to leave the Pacers in 2018.
So let’s dig into some potential trades for Rubio that would benefit the Timberwolves.
