DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[KillerLeft]

Why would OKC trade Rubio? He's a great veteran fit next to SGA.

They might not, of course. I wouldn't. 

The case for trading him is:

1) to get him to a place he wants to be (this was mentioned by several of the people who have been reporting these rumors)
2) to pick up an additional asset (pick)
3) to remove a year of guaranteed money.

All in all, though, I think you're right that they're probably not desperate to do it. He might be there for the season...until the deadline...idk.
