Ricky Rubio is finally returning to last year’s form. Just in time for the trade deadline! The Jazz wish to move forward with Donovan Mitchell as the primary ballhandler/shooter/deity. At least, if I was the Jazz, that’s what I would want. Which is understandable, because Mitchell is a beast and on a cheap rookie deal. Here’s what I would do after coming to that realization: call up Tom Thibodeau on his home phone, and tell him straight up that the Timberwolves can have Rubio back as long as certain conditions are met. Conditions like the Jazz get back Andrew Wiggins.
For real I think the Timberwolves would’ve won like 6 more games by now if they didn’t have Jeff “Sucks Rod” Teague as the starting PG. So there’s no reason why this trade couldn’t happen right now, at this very moment. Alternatively, the Bucks are willing to take on Rubio in exchange for Thon Maker, who has loads of potential still please someone take him please I can’t I just can’t.
