Boston Trying To Get 2nd Pick

[Pugz]

The Grizzlies have been approached by several teams about acquiring the second overall pick. Boston, Houston and New York are said to be among the most recent suitors.

Boston and Houston would likely have to offer an established NBA player or two, given that neither team owns a first-round pick. New York owns the eighth pick and likely would want to move up for the opportunity to take Ricky Rubio.

What would Boston offer?
Rondo?

Who would Boston take?

 

[Lake Louise]

Yeah, because Boston really needs the 2nd pick. They need to stop being greedy and deal with what they have, and stop trying to take away from other teams.

lol McCoy
they're just trying to get better.

 

[Pugz]

lol Dice they would take Rubio haha. And McCoy what's wrong with wanting to get better for the future and still looking like a championship team now?

I bet they are trying to get Thabeet.

 

[Dice-J]

Just kidding had to match a question with Greg

BTW, i'd rather have the Stoudemire trade than this

 

[Pugz]

I bet they are trying to get Thabeet.

why? Rondo would have to be dealt, then they would draft Rubio.

 

[Dice-J]

They made it clear Rondo's not on the block

 

[Pugz]

But,

Rubio>Rondo and Rubio will be a top 5 PG for YEARS

 

[RipCity32]

You can tell the future now Pugz?

I'd rather have an established player in Rondo.

 

[Pugz]

Rubio will still go in and help them, plus in two years he'll be better then Rondo anyways.

But that's why the pick won't be dealt.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm not that sold on Rubio.

Your smoking im convinced. Rondo is one of the best pgs in the league. He is young and can only improve and has already proved he can play.

Like rip i see the potential. But Im not that sold that rubio is this super prospect.

 

[Lake Louise]

lol McCoy
they're just trying to get better.

lol I know. I just dont like Boston. I guess that part of me came out more than the overall perspective side. I guess it just depends on what they would be up for offering for the pick, if it happens. They do have people to offer though, as we know.

 

[Lake Louise]

I'm not that sold on Rubio.

Me either.

 

[The Young One]

Me either.

Im waiting on pugz to explain how rubio is better than rondo.


Im waiting pugz....

 

[Pugz]

You put Rubio in the spot Rondo is and he'll play just as if not better. I'm not saying Rubio is better now, but putting him in that same spot Rondo is in and he could look just as good.

 

[The Young One]

I've watched rubio play a lot and no he just isnt as good as rondo. The bulls series and the magic series proved that. Rondo averaged 16.9 PPG 9.6 APG and 9.7 RPG in the playoffs. Do you believe a rubio could drop those numbers in the playoffs? Rubio has a while to go before he can even be mentioned with rondo.
