Rubio

[ReneNYG1]

Personally I would do what it takes to get Rubio,I want to keep Gallo,Hill and Chandler.I think we can trade Lee but we really want to keep him if he ever comes back to earth with his unrealistic agent.7.5 per or else we trade him and getting Rubio would take the bite of losing Lee IMO.The Mobley contract is very valuable I know Kenny wants to save it for Curry or Jeffries dump but I would use it on Rubio,I think Curry play may help him get value and same with Jeffries,I would sign N8 and Lee to one years and wait for a later trade then settle for Sessions,to me it's Rubio or wait to mid season for Curry and Jeffries to be shipped out and see what assets we can save by trading them without having to give up an asset in Lee or N8.

As I stated before I'm the one guy not in rapture over Rubio on this board. I do think he could be better than any PG for the Knicks over the last years and as such worth a trade for some future talent, but I would not trade Hill or Chandler for him.

Rubio plays the European game and although Tony Parker made it (with an admittedly stronger team in San Antonio) he had the NBA game while in Europe. I just cant get past Rubio's shooting style. The last guy I said that about was Russell Westbrook...how did he do? Less than 40% FG and 28 % 3 point shooting in his freshman year of the NBA.

Rubio would bring some ball handling to NY but with no defense, average shooting, physical limitations, and questionable penetration and dishing (in a more compact key setup) he has a ways to go to be a major impact player in the NBA IMO. He reminds me of Kidd and thats not bad, but how many titles has Kidd won?

I would not want to trade Gallo but anybody else would be fine.

Gates I want to keep everyone except Curry ,Jeffries& Hughes.I love GAllo but Chandler can be awesome and I love Duhon,Lee,N8,Al,Hill,Douglas.But your right you have to give to get and I probably would trade anyone but Gallo too.DW does not give away players which I love he's not overpaying but he might for Rubio,we have no clue,he's so patient.He's exactly what we need because us NY'ers want it done yesterday.N8 is great I would give him a chance,he might mature this year and we catch lighting in the bottle.N8 was our best shooter till we got Gallo.DLee has great intangables which we all know and him and N8 will be awesome the second year in DAn't system we should try to keep the ship afloat till a better deal presents itself,we can't rush and trade N8 and Lee IMO.

I have some evidence of solid play here.

We might have Minny right where we want for a deal ,the deal if we wait till camp opens and see what deal we can make with our assets ,we might get the players Minny wants and their options are fleeting as time passes,so we might be in position to deal for Rubio and get him on the cheap.We can work out the buyouts later like no other market can so we might as well take advantage of our advertising market of NYC.We can payoff Rubio's deal and make him and Lebron very rich here with good play and the market outlets for ad companies.
