If Minny turned down Battier + Brooks for Rubio then i don't know how we'll get Rubio.
They had the 5pick, they would only slide down 3 and get our 8th,
They would get a player who can play 2,3..still young avg 14.5pts, 5.5rbs.
They're trying to pull off a miracle..

You have to realize Minnesota is in no rush to move this pick. His stock will only keep rising as he gets bigger and continually dominates in Europe. Theymight wait 2 or 3 years until Rubio finally decides he wants to play in the League.
No matter what Rubio will eventually be in America because he wants the challenge of playing in the best league in the world. The kid worshipps MJ supposedlyand he grew up a fan of American basketball. It is going to take a strong offer to get him, something the Knicks can't do.

[h1]Lakers, Kings Front Runners To Land Nate?[/h1]
Jun 29, 2009 3:55 PM EST
The Lakers and Kings appear to bethe front runners to land guard Nate Robinson, a restricted free agent of the Knicks.
Sacramento was reportedly close to swinging a deal that involved Robinson and Jared Jeffries at February's trading deadline, but talks between the Kingsand Knicks fell through.
It's possible that the two teams could rekindle talks this summer.
The Lakers was rumored to have inquired about Robinson after he scored 33 points at the Staples Center in December, and both Kobe Bryant and Jerry Bussgushed about the guard after the mid-December game.

That Vecsey article was TRASH.
Can't believe Wolves declined that Will and 8 deal. If the cost is more than that..no thank you.
...and I have an oppurtunity to work with the Swamprats
...guy Icaddied yesterday for works for the Ratner group and said he could set me up with somethin...meh...i don't think I can't do it.

And idk what yall talking about. Personally i dont think Love will ever eerge as a great NBA player. idk i just cant see it. I honestly believe that Lee hasthe potential to be better than Love and i know for a fact that Lee is better than love right now. Lee is more athletic, he doesnt have quite the size but ibelieve he is more versatile and has a better NBA game. idk thats just me though.
...and I have an oppurtunity to work with the Swamprats...guy I caddied yesterday for works for the Ratner group and said he could set me up with somethin...meh...i don't think I can't do it.
Thats like my feelings on getting J Kidd. I know he can prob help us out and he would more than likely be great running this system but i could never ever rootfor that #*!$%%* Swamprat

*sigh* so no rubio
like some of you said I think the wolves were kind of stupid not take that draft day deal. I'm sure there were some other good ones too. For real thoughwhat do they expect teams wlll give them? It's like they want a top 10 player in the league for an unproven talent. Hope every team gets together and says" go **** yourself" and they are suck with a missing player for 3 years.
do you guys think the twolves fanbase would be understanding enough to wait for 3 years before their draft pick touches American soil? Would the owner bepissed?

I cant speak on behalf on the TWolves fan base. But all i know is if that we ever invested that much in a guy like we would if we traded for Rubio(and the Wolves when they took him at 5 and are turning down these ill trade offers for) than he better get his #@*%$+* @#% down here.
And Kahn is officially becoming on my list of dumbest GMs if he holds on to Rubio. The fanbase will probably not be happy to wait three years for this dude andif he is planning to trade him his value will NEVER be this high again if he stays in Europe for a few years and lets his buzz die down a bit.

we were angry when we took Frederik weis and that piece of garbage never came lol. I think he was the 14th or 15th pick. i can't imagine how mad we wouldbe if we picked in the top 5 and the guy was a no show. So I guess the wolves fan base would be pissed. what if rubio gets injured in the next 2 or 3 years?They might as well trade him while his value is there.

I think we are going to regret not pickup up Jennings or Derozan.

[h1]Knicks to meet with free agent point guard Jason Kidd on Wednesday[/h1]
BY Frank Isola
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
Tuesday, June 30th 2009, 4:00 AM
McWilliam/AP
(While with Dallas last season, Jason Kidd backs down Nate Robinson. Kidd is meeting with Donnie Walsh Wednesday.)
Jason Kidd plans to meet with Knicks officials Wednesday morning, opening day of the free agent recruiting period.
A league source told the Daily News Monday night that Kidd is scheduled to sit down with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and head coach Mike D'Antoni early Wednesday. Kidd said in January that he would strongly consider signing withthe Knicks.
Kidd, who helped the Nets reach back-to-back NBA Finals before being traded to Dallas two years ago, is giving the Mavericks the first chance to re-sign him.The future Hall of Fame point guard will speak with Dallas officials before he talks to the Knicks. It is believed that Kidd also will talk to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Knicks could sign Kidd to the mid-level exception or try to negotiate a sign-and-trade with Dallas. Since the Mavs traded Devin Harris two seasons ago for Kidd, Dallas figures to make a strong push to re-sign Kidd or at leastget compensation for having mortgaged its future.
The Knicks' interest in signing Kidd is twofold. Team president Donnie Walsh is looking for an experienced floor leader as well as a player who couldhelp recruit LeBron James should the Cavaliers' superstar and league MVP become a free agent next summer.
Kidd would be an upgrade over incumbent starting point guard Chris Duhon,but there are obvious risks attached to signing a 37-year-old player. And the Knicks also have to ask themselves why Kidd is so interested in joining a teamthat isn't vying for a championship. The obvious concern is that Kidd simply wants to spend his twilight years living and going out in Manhattan.
If the Knicks don't land Kidd, another option is restricted free agent Ramon Sessions, to whom the Bucks made a qualifying offer yesterday, enabling Milwaukee to match any bid.
The Knicks did the same with their two restricted free agents, David Lee andNate Robinson. When asked last week if he would follow the time-honoredtradition of contacting free agents at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, Walsh replied: "Do you really want me to call you at 12:01? Is it that important toyou?" Walsh added with a laugh, "If it's that important to you, I'll call at 12:01."
Walsh maintains that his goal is to re-sign both Lee and Robinson, but the club is also open to a sign-and-trade with either player.
