Dont go after a player who has proven he cant shoot better than 35% in the NBA but has proven to be less than durable on a really bad team.
i dont think we have to worry about that. knicks dont have the assets to trade for him...even though hes not that good

Ummmmmmmm ok, thanks for the breaking news about Rubio's bad shooting. Definitely thread worthy.
sure he cant shoot, but he's like the best defensive PG in the league. He would help a lot

Hes a solid defender on a team that perpetually has won 20 games for the 5 years hes been there. This is an offensive league now. Your lead guard has to shoot well. If I want a defensive guard Toure Murry can give me what Rubio does for 600k.
Huh? Are we going after Ricky Rubio?

If a team wants Ricky Rubio they arent paying attention to the trends of the NBA. Hes a back up. I want guys who can shoot pass and play smart and hard. And shoot is the key word but not unselfish.
Marco Rubio will guarantee we suck for another 4 years, so Ricky may be the lesser evil.

how about when he's missing wide open 3's and where down 10 with 5 minutes left

As opposed to Jose who does what? Rubio's job isnt to shoot 3s. Its to create easy shots for KP, Melo and the other 2 guys on the floor. That and playing top flight defense. Do you think he could do that?
I was actually joking as Briggs called Darren Collison one of the best defenders at PG in the league and told I didnt know the NBA and could go back to napping.
Rubio cant shoot at all, I get it... but he's actually a pretty good player. He gets a boatload of steals and assists. He always hits his FTs also, and he is a big reason for Town's early success. He's got incredible court vision as well. So as usual Briggs takes one aspect of his game (as he did with Collison) and makes broad sweeping statements that are not reality.
Rubio is not the mold of player I would target no... but he's got a skill set that can be used.
Would easily be the Knicks best PG in nearly 30yrs excluding Lin

I don't care what anyone says cause you can win games with R.Rubio as your point guard. Your point guard doesn't have to be a great shooter to win if they can do other things like passing, getting to the basket and playing defense well and Rubio can do those things. I said this in another thread that if we did get Rubio the next thing i would try to do is get a SG that can shoot the crap out of the ball like a K.Bazemore or a B.Beal or if we couldn't get a bigger name like those two we could try to get E.Fournier or R.Foye or even OJ Mayo.
PG--R.Rubio
SG--K.Bazemore
SF--Melo
PF--KP6
C--R.Lopez
That team would not only make the playoffs but make some noise in the playoffs.
why are folks talking about Rubio when he's not available and even if he was we dont have the assets to get him

as opposed to discussing Melo trades? Rubio has been mentioned as being available. He's got a big contract and I think his value around the league off the charts

I have faith that Phil wont trade for a player making 14mm a year who has been the orchestrater of 5 straight 20 win teams who shoots the ball like an 8th grader on the b line while sitting on the lowest avg% of any starter in the entire NBA during his time in the league. And while we complain that Scheyd(who is better than Rubio) is frail?? my goodness how many ligaments are left in Ricky's knee? One turn to the left and were out 40mm large.
