JJ Barea to sign 4 year deal with the T-Wolves

[bagelred]

They're main goal right now is most likely trading Ridinour/Pek/Johnson for K-Mart/Decent bench player

Wait....Kevin Martin or Kenyon Martin?

Kevin since he's a vet who played in adelman's system and fills the gap at the 2 not to mention apparently Mchale isn't a fan of Martin.

How is Ridnour going to be in a package for Kevin Martin? Houston has FOUR point guards all ready.

That's what I was wondering but apparently their team originally was counting on the trade Houston make with No to make their move for K-Mart so I'm not sure what was the specifics but I'm pretty sure they're still intrested in K-Mart without giving up any of their major pieces.

Yea at this point considering Adelman's constant praise of Rubio's defense even more than his offense

Luke is most likely gonna be traded in an attempt to get a true two guard.

[MeLO MvP 15]

I actually really like this pick up for Minny. JJ could be the perfect change of pace guard. Rubio is a pass first, tall PG but when Barea is in they'll have the scorer. But Minny should really trade Ridnour now (NY on line one... Balkman and Walker, do it Kahn...)

Luke doesn't have much trade value. He's a nice backup but that's about it.

Actually he would start on the Knicks.

O not by himself , most likely if he gets traded it's gonna be with Wes Johnson because his true postion is the 3 but the only minutes he'll be able to get this season would be at the 2.

[jbryan1984]

Kahn really don't make any sense. He was no clue, not even the slightest idea on how to run a basketball team.

[33teeth]

Kings should get in on a 3 way trade and try to pick up Ridnour. Martin to MN, Ridnour to SAC, ?? to HOU.

Make it happen.

[Jasi]

As a Knicks fan, I'd be happier with Ridnour running the point rather than any of the current PGs we have (at least Toney Douglas and Mike Bibby... I don't know about Iman Shumpert, haven't seen much of him yet).

[Yung D-Will]

Kahn really don't make any sense. He was no clue, not even the slightest idea on how to run a basketball team.

I really doubt this is Kahn's move, from the way the lineups have looked from what I've heard Ridinour is probally expanable in Adelman's eyes.

From the minute Adelman got signed he's been involved in every decision that team will make

[JtotheIzzo]

Don't see any sense in this signing. Barea, Rubio, and Ridnour? None of those guys can play together either. David Kahn's point guard fetish continues...

insane, maybe he is going to trade Rubio?

You're not paying attention. They're not keeping Ridinour


If you've payed attention to their camp Rick Adelman has sounded very impressed with Rubio's defense, Passing and abilty to run the offense however they're looking for pieces to trade for K-Mart and Ridinour is most likely one of them so it'll most likely be Rubio and Ridinour as the two starting pg's

Adelman has consistently put Rubio as the pg with love on the floor and put Ridinour as a backup.

Adelman on @rickyrubio9's 1st @nba practice: "I think he did really well. He can really pass the ball. I think the way he handles the ball."

^ Day 2

From the look of it he'll probally be starting from day 1.

The only consistant between every unit Adelman has run so far has been Love and Rubio.

In Fact Derrick Williams was the one who apparently was strugggling early on because he had to learn how to play two differnt spots

[MiseryCityTexas]

Kevin since he's a vet who played in adelman's system and fills the gap at the 2 not to mention apparently Mchale isn't a fan of Martin.

Im not a Kevin Martin Fan either. His defense is terrible, and disappears in the 4th quarter sometimes.
