I´m looking forward how this will sort out. Hope for the best.
With Russell + Beasley healthy, KAT further removed from all the personal tragedy in his life, Edwards coming on like a freight train, they were playing around 0.500 ball against a tough schedule over the last two months. I think it´s fair to assume they can make a jump to 33-35 wins.
Though I find it very strange that they traded Rubio. I get that on paper there are overlaps with the playing time and Prince is also a good veteran player/presence, but when my other franchise player Anthony Edwards talks about Ricky Rubio like his basketball daddy, I might want to hang onto that guy.
Besides Ricky Rubio being such a great leader for a young core, as we saw at the Olympics, he´s still pretty good at basketball. That Ricky Rubio has been the best player in the world under FIBA rules over the last 3-4 years makes me happy for him, cause he was supposed to be Luka Doncic before Luka Doncic.
