I have come around on Rubio. He helped turn around the Suns last year bc he can run an offense. It would be nice to have a player that knows how to get KP the ball. 1 yr of expiring Rubio isn't the worst idea imo. Mentor to Luka. Would have two great passers. I would picture Rubio's role just helping get Brunson and others their shots. I know people are concerned about his shooting but off the bench he would be really good. Right now we are reliant on Brunson scoring off the bench and handling the ball a lot. Some nights he's great, sometimes he over-dribbles and he doesn't really move the ball much. Rubio would really help the bench offense.
Rotations would be something like:
Luka/Rubio
THJ/Brunson
DFS/Green
Powell/WCS (rMLE)
KP/Maxi
In this scenario you are just taking Rubio for cap space as a J Rich replacement. If Mavs were able to do a JR S&T to Minnesota or a third team to get closer to salary matching then Mavs would be able to stay over the cap and add another player for MLE.
