Eh. He doesn't really provide anything the Wolves don't already have, though. Rubio's already a top tier defending point guard. He's also a really good playmaker and have plenty of guys that can attack the basket.

They desperately need another ball handler and lights out shooter. Murray is perfect for that.

He'd score 20+ there. 4, 13 and Warren is an intriguing offer, if Philly were dead set on Dunn, and didn't like either of Simmons/Ingram. I like it.

Well, I've heard there's mutual interest between Philadelphia and Dunn. If they trade down, it has to be for Dunn. I really think Dunn and Philly would be a perfect fit. Dunn, Valentine, T.J. Warren and I assume Noel and Okafor...I think that's a good lineup. You'll have to find some contributors off the bench. The 76ers won't be challenging for championships or anything like that, but it's a start.

He ain't going to Philly. Dude doesn't want to play there. A la Kobe, Eli Manning. He's going to LA.

The Wolves let that deter them from taking Curry. You never let a player dictate that.

He'll force his way out. Like the players I mentioned. Whether it's by Philly just passing him up or trading to the Lakers.

Eh. It's not up to him. He could play for the 76ers or not play at all if they wanted.

I would.

I don't want a player on my team who just doesn't want to be there and will be gone the second his rookie deal is up. Or just flat out refuse to play for the team. You can make a lot of money playing basketball overseas.

I mean, would you hire someone at your job who didn't want to work there and flat out told you that in the hiring process??

NBA teams have control over players for their first 9 years essentially.

Curry also didn't want to be taken by Golden State. Now look at him.
