Rubio needs a year of playing time rehab. He might be better coming off unit 2. Hes still a good two way player but he needs smaller minutes with his body and time to continue developing his shot. On unit 2 he would be one of the most dynamic back ups in the league. Each unit would have a shot blocker who can also score 3 3 point shooters and 2-3 penetrators. Im looking for a trade the following year with my pick I take for a high quality SG--maybe DErozan unless development goes well and I dont have too? while allowing everyone to develop. This is a combination win now but aim towards the future. I really do not think there are massive short cuts. We need to respect the process and put in building bricks. This would be a much more balanced team than what we had with many more assets that I could potentially trade as the roster develops over 2 years.

Calderon is waived by the way--not on this team--hes a defensive sieve.

If I got Dieng and the two players I want--whats not to like is right? The cap is going up substantially--Im not worried about what will be 10% of the cap. I want to rebuild this team using that cap space whatever is the best way to use it. In two years with a healthy Rubio it will be a steal. Sometime s people need to look outside of the box--Dieng is up and coming+ a high commodity. IF and I mean IF Minnesota wants out of Rubios contract Diendg and the players I want who have to be there or no deal. I still think this is a process wed be adding two young vets and a bunch of players we can help build the team with. If Kevin Durant is healthy--wed have a plethora of young players we could potentially trade this way. By adding Monroe and a Millsap were locking in on two huge contracts. By locking in on just a 12mm contract--we leave the flexibility for next year. If we try to push it all together in one year its going o back fire like an old Pinto. I think combination deals and trading down is the way to go. Were not winning a championship with Greg Monroe and Willie Stein. We need a full deep roster built over a couple of years into the style of play we want to run.

What has he accomplished? What is he going to become?

I think he's answered those questions. Nothing, nothing.

I'd rather see if I could pick up Pekovic for a pick - as he is also hurt, a bit older, and $12m for 2 more years.

Im not in love with Greg Monroe

So I would ask for reasonable compensation from Minny IF they really want out of the 4 years and 48mm from Rubio.

Dieng--has to be part of the deal
2 high 2nd round picks of which I would need to have 2 of a selected 4 players who who has to be Fuzaro(Fuzaro would have to be a given or no deal)
and Rubio

This compensation to me is BETTER than getting Monroe

Id be able to select two players in a good draft get a C that actually fits very well with what we want to do(and plays defense) who is also 25 and adding Rubio who does need some rehab but as we have seen also has a high talent level BOTH ways at 6-5

I want to rebuild the team selecting smart players who play both ways plays a smart brand of basketball and filling the lower 5 roster spots with players that I can use and develop to potentially be used in trades in up coming years if need be with our lack of resources.

I DO NOT want to push all in in year 1 on a team that has no chance to do anything other than a 7-8 seed. I will NOT be dictated to by a player on the team. We can try to help Carmelo win but its a y-y process, He has a great year maybe his options are open maybe we can trad efor another star but its the flexibility of the approach where I do NOT have to rely on melo. Its enhance and get better or simply I am building my own team the way I want it built for the good of the fan.

Too many fans are being mislead that this team can go out and get a couple of free agents and a draft pick and this is ready to roll.

Everyone knows -who was here that I wrote about 500 posts why we should take Andrew Bynum over Channing Frye and I was right. Bynum if he didnt hurt himself wouldve been 1st team all NBA for years. He still helped win 2 chips. If I felt that strongly about Stein I would've done the same--I dont. I dont think hes a bad player--I just think Kamnisn ky the way the NBA is being player right now is much better choice. I just look at it simply--and anyone can verify this--I said once GS changed to 5 out they would win--they shouldve used D lee even more last night. There is NO defense for 5 guys who can shoot dribble pass and shoot. You can have moments but its impossible to guard for 48 minutes. Clev has a very GOOD defensive team. But defense will not win this series and it wont in the NBA anymore. You need to play it but you better be able to score 105 or more. You NEED offensive players who play smart team D.

I'm so happy that we're just fake GM's playing fantasy build the Knicks cause if this were real we'd again be the laughing stock of the NBA and I can't live with that for to much longer.

Care to state why you think his deal is unreasonable?

Why U want Monroe so we can win 35 games for the next 4 years Melo?
