Rumor: Rubio/#5 to Philly for Noel/Covington/Future 1st

Floating around Twitter. Thoughts?

I really wanted Noel in Boston.

[branslowski]

Would be solid for Sixers. Then draft Simmons and Murray.

Rubio
Murray
Simmons
Okafor
Embiid

Starting lineup^^^

Or release Rubio, grab a 3pt shooting PG late in draft or from FA...Let Simmons run the offense

[JimmyMcAdocious]

So Minne trading their starting PG and the pick a lot of people thought they might draft their future PG with? What am I missing here?

Great move for the T Wolves. Wiggins, KAT, and Noel in Thibs system has the potential to become a defensive juggernaut. I'm not high on Rubio especially if the Sixers draft Simmons but the 5th pick could be used on Murray or Hield.

Thibs is a defensive coach. Wiggins-KAT-Noel has the potential to become a GOAT level defensive frontcourt in Thibs system.

Right, I like the frontcourt and I still think Noel is basically shittier Noah but you're going into the season without a PG or even so much of a point forward on the roster. Unless you still wanna count KG.

They should go after Conley and Batum.

Conley
Batum
Wiggins
KAT
Noel

3ball exposed as Colangelo!

Embiid won't be starting unless both okafor and Noel are traded they wanna bring him in slow as back up C maybe not even play in some back to backs until they are confident in his health.
If this trade were to happen the SL would be
Rubio
Brown/hield/murray one of those 3
Simmons
Saric
Okafor/Embiid

I could see sixers drafting Dunn at 5 and trade rubio or maybe even draft Bender

[CuterThanRubio]

Would not be smart to trade him without a solid replacement, and trading the 5th pick for another big when they have KAT makes little sense.

I'd like to see how he fits into Thibs system before completely pulling the plug, he definitely has the ability to make things easier for the go-to guys, although replacing him with someone who can spread the floor would not bother me.

[Jameerthefear]

Depends on the first, whose is it?
