I just havent seen anything to impress me. If he isn't traded, I hope like hell he'll be a beast and make me eat my words. I just really doubt it from his current body of work. Bosh could shoot the ball coming out of school. At 6'11", he has a great faceup game, a decent hadle and a pretty J. Hill seems to have none of the above. And hill played 3 yrs college ball, Bosh came in as a skinny-ass 19 yr old after 1 yr at Gtech. I dont think there's any comparison to be made. Bosh had all the tools coming into the league, and he just refined them and got stronger. Hill is lacking on both ends of the court. I know he can block some shots, but that alone does not make for a good defender. Once again, if he's wearing orange and blue this year, i'll pull real hard for him. But I sure as hell hope DW is pulling strings and making things happen, bc it would be sad to me if this was the team that opened the season. Bring us Ricky!!

No thanks to the bad contracts though, it'll have to be straight up, or for a protected draft pick in the future. I won't take any bad contracts just for a rookie... If we were willing to do that, we would have taken the wizard's deal and we'd already have rubio. Yea, we’ve been proposing that for a little while now if you scroll up.

I'm not really sure where u stand. Either way, my idea was Chandler for rubio, not hill. @ GoWrightGo: you are absolutely 100% right. I am steaming out the ears over this, but its business, and if it works then it works.... Look at the scum on wall street. If they really are refusing to trade Rubio though, and they really do want to keep both of them... Then they truly are idiots and don't deserve to be running a basketball team. The kid should be in the NBA, and their dumb strategy deprives all basketball fans of him, while at the same time depriving them selves of a top 5 pick. So yea, they are doing business, but if they really do keep him than they truly are arrogant and terrible terrible managers. They have to know for a fact he will never wear their Jersey, so I am going to assume they are sane and that no matter what they say, they INTEND on shopping him. They could use a long athletic young wing man in chandler, who is definitely worth the 6th pick in this draft, so if any sort of logic can prevail in this world, than i really believe we have a huge chance of getting Rubio. My hate-posts are over with, i just took a long, well needed nap, and I'm fine now. Hey bob go knicks, u seem to think hill should not be traded for rubio, but than u kind of hated on him.

Congratulations DrMet! Wilson Chandler fits a need in Minnesota, and is still in nis rookie deal, so can be traded whether he likes it or not. Chandler and a future pick? Chandler and taking back a bad contract? These are all more realistic than these scenarios that require Nate and Lee agreeing to go to Minnesota. FINALLY a realistic trade scenario!
