No what are you gonna give to get him. Lakers have nothing to offer

I really don't have a team I root for in the NBA...but it's not as fun when the Lakers struggle.

Lakers need a long range shooter....skyhook would love Redick lol

Minny/LAC could be fun to watch. Blake, Jordan, Love are three of my favorite players to watch. Throw in the 2nd time (1st since his opener, not starting) Ive seen Rubio and it should be fun.

And Jordan. They have flipped. Griffin was on Love for most of the 1st quarter (only gave up a 3pter).

The Cavs will ship Boobie to LA for one of their 1st rounders.

Rubio just hits a 3 with 20 to go to tie up with the Clips. Great game. Rubio is smoooooth.

Rubio has struggled tonight. 1/11 with 9 points and 2 airballs...

He does have 6 boards and 6 assists.

I like his game, I think he's going to be a nice PG. Not an elite level PG, but he may make a few ASG's here and there.

With that said, Kevin Love is a fucking beast.

That's a great win for a young up and coming team, they need to keep Darko more involved like tonight, dude can play but they never give him the ball or keep him involved.

I only watched the 4th quarter and he was ballin, although not scoring much. Give him time, I think he'll be a good one.

He struggled all game but played really well in the 4th, have to love that confidence to keep attacking.

Game changed when Mo Williams was ejected. He was abusing Rubio/Luke...

First time Ive really gotten to watch Rubio. He is nowhere near the shot of Nash, though he was very clutch tonight. Great 4th Q, makes great passes and decisions.

As far as defense goes, he was tremendous tonight. Denying passes, on the ball, help side and just random steals in scraps. His long arms, plus being 6-4, is a huge advantage to him. He is sneaky quick.

In short, I really like his game. Think he can develop into a very solid PG.
