    I don't believe that Rice knows anything specific for a second... but I am going to watch the draft whether he hypes it up or not :)

    Arguably the worst trade idea I've seen on this forum.

    Rubio would probably be the worst fit at PG with Nate as coach.

    I can't see a team in the NBA that Rubio will lead to a title if he isn't harnassed to some degree.

    He won't fit with Nate, that's for certain. He also wouldn't fit with Pop, Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, or Doc Rivers, either.

    Maybe D' Antoni could win 50 games with him? It would be exciting!

    It's sad that we have to simply disregard even looking at a talented player because his skills don't fit with our coach's mantra. A good coach can adapt and maximize his players' talents regardless of specialty, where as our coach seems to have defined roles for what he wants. Makes KP's job a lot harder.

    There's a very good chance Nate is gone soon, and Demopolous (anti-turnover Nazi) already is!

    Just the Rising Star, the Super Cup, Copa del Rey and the EuroLeague Championship. His team went 31-3 and yet he looked bad as his team lost in the Spanish league finals. He was All-League and finished 2nd in MVP behind Tiago Splitter.
