If Thabeet goes at #2 then I think the Thunder pick Rubio at #3. I don't see them trading the pick. We suffered through too many losses to just give up that pick for something lower.

I really like Rubio.

I really really like big PG's (Why I really hope Livvy, returns to his former self)

If we draft him I will be happy. Even though I am one of the biggest fast of Westbrook at point.

But if we move Watson. then we have 48 mins for PG play. and we can move Russ to the 2 for at least 20 mins that gives us the 34mins at PG for Rubio and 14 for Russ and 20 for Russ at SG.

Which makes 34mins for Russ.

Hell we can even Put Rubio in for only 25-30 mins and stick livvy in for 5-8mins

That rotation is similar to what we used anyway when Watson was getting minutes.

I agree. Rubio won't be ready to play normal starters amount of minutes anyway. I hope Westbrook is focusing on his jumper this summer, there's no reason in the world why he can't become a threat from 3.
