    Is this Rubio hype warranted? I haven't followed him, but from just looking at him...he's got Darko written all over him.

    And Bucher is saying they're keeping both Flynn and Rubio.

    Bucher's word is shit.

    He's been facing the highest possible competition for years now, unlike Darko. Spanish leagues. Euroleague. World championships. Olympics. I think he's gonna be great.

    lol wow

    Timberwolves really failed at this draft.

    Maybe that's why they drafted Flynn, as an insurance for Rubio in case he doesn't come over? Maybe now they keep Flynn as their future point guard and try to deal Rubio?

    Either way fail.

    Lol @ you guys...

    A quote from Ricky himself after the quote made from his father

    Hush. If anyone is going anywhere, it's Flynn. Word from the war room reports were Sacramento took Evans but wanted Flynn and knew we preferred to pair Evans with Rubio as opposed to Flynn and Rubio. It was supposed to be a Flynn/18 (James Johnson) for Evans. When JJ didn't fall to 18 that trade fell through. This is further supported by Andy Katz reporting we took and flipped Ty Lawson to Denver because JJ wasn't on the board. Why we didn't do everything to move up to ensure we got JJ to ensure we got Evans is beyond me, however that's another discussion for another time.

    I could see Flynn moving sometime before Monday.
