The Twolves trade us Rubio, and Suns send the ORL 1st rd pick to MEM.

Nash gets free, and Knicks free up space for Carmelo. Plus 'Melo is even more intrigued by NY to form their own big 3 of Nash, Amare & Melo.

Twolves get two young good players for Rubio who isn't interested in MIN much.

Memphis gets good players for Mayo who is turning into a headcase for them.

We get a decent young group of players. Also save a lot of cap.

Suns next year lineup

PG.Rubio
SG.Free Agent/Dudley
SF.Gallinari
PF.Randolph
C.Gortat

I wouldn't even mind trading Randolph for a higher pick in the draft and getting a better PF.

Rubio is supposedly struggling scoring in Europe right now but he's still doing an excellent job being the facilitator and also plays good defense.

The scoring struggle could be due to Europe's rules of the game. Its different and refs rarely calls fouls. For example, Brandon Jennings was averaging like 6 pts a game before he came to the NBA now its 16.

Rubio reminds me of Jason Kidd. It'd be amazing if we can pull of a trade for him.
