Karl-Anthony Towns is a beast. Andrew Wiggins is a beast. Zach LaVine is a beast. All three of those players are beasts, and yet the Timberwolves can’t win any games. That much beastitude should be, by itself, worth at least 40 wins, but they haven’t earned even close to that many. What’s the problem up in there in the frozen tundra of the northlands?
DTB’s Official Diagnosis of the Problem: Ricky Rubio.
DTB’s Official Rectification of the Problem: trade Ricky Rubio for Michael Carter-Williams.
Everybody wins! The T-Wolves get rid of their PG who isn’t long/athletic enough for their team, and replace him with a long/athletic PG who can help take the load off their young talent. Remember, MCW was a ROY once upon a time, something Rubio never was, and never will be. The Bucks get kind of shafted on the deal, admittedly, but they’re tanking anyway, so it helps them get Ben Simmons.
This deal has to happen immediately. Please, please, make this deal happen as soon as possible. I’m begging you.
