Textbook example of a player with inflated stats because he plays on a shytty team
I think he gets a bad rap, I like him.
I'm probably the biggest advocater of T-Wro but we will have to see how he comes back from his acl injury. I always liked him more than MCW.

Why would I worry about Ricky's trade value when there shouldn't be any interest in getting rid of him? LaVine and Dieng on the other hand? Sure, because their perceived value is higher than what they're actually worth, but this is all moot because Flip's not gonna make any of these moves. He can't afford another shyt season like the one he just had if he thinks he can make this job attractive to another coach
I can't see NY or Sac taking Kris Zingler, but that doesn't mean some team isn't gonna drop their pants to trade up for him
There is interest in getting rid of him though
I mean if you could move LaVine & Rubio and get back a starting quality PG, would you do it? You have the parts to make a trade for any number of starting level PGs, your priority should be building around Wiggins & Towns, I just don't see how Rubio factors into that when Wiggins will improve as a creator and is going to eventually need a floor spacing or scoring PG with him. Lets just look at this through history, how many elite level Wing players played with a PG like Rubio, he's going to be more of a hindrance to Wiggins game in a short time than he is a help.
He has the frame that could get up to 240-250 in a few years.
I don't know breh, it's like I've seen this play out before.
He has a high chance of being a bust, but I think he'd be fine on teams that have big/physical centers that he can play next to like Cousins, Drummond, Embiid. Anyone that drafts him has to know it's going to take a few years for his body to catchup.

They're not. Flip's gonna be in "I'll show you" mode the entire time Zach is here and he'll be to stubborn to cut his losses on HIS guys.
Far from assured given how he's used.
All they take is mid range jump shots. To need a floor spacer (which they do regardless of position), you have to encourage floor spacing. Flip doesn't even do that with Wiggins. Flip wants Okafor so he can have three guys posting up all night and getting in each other's way. They need shooting whether Ricky's here or not.
Where you completely lose it is that you think a lack of shooting from PG is somehow tops on their list of weaknesses which is 100% bullshyt. That is much lower on the totem pole. When Ricky becomes their biggest issue, they'll be a lot better. They're nowhere near that right now.
