So If we did trade for the #2 plus Conley

[KG Living Legend]

 Who would you take?  I'm taking Thabeet. No He can't shoot.

 I'll take Rubio. No way to skinny, and he's from europe.

 Tuff Pick at two. Who would you take.

[PosImpos]

Rubio, no doubt about it.  Rubio + Conley as a young guard rotation wouldn't be as good as Rondo is now, but looking to the future that could be a very good rotation, and once Rubio comes into his own (and I really believe he will) then we can trade Conley.

Thabeet would certainly benefit being in our system and around players like KG and Perk and with Thibodeau and Cliff but I think if we made that trade we'd need a better PG prospect than Conley for the future.

So you would have passed on KG or Dirk?

[winsomme]

this actually isn't the rumor, though.

but i guess if it was, i'd go Harden or Rubio and trade Conley down the line...

[jdub1660]

I would like the risk of taking the Big Man. 1st rounder big men usually seem to go either way, Really Great or Really Bad. But I still say take Thabeet, b/c his possibilities would be higher with Thib training him, and Kg working with him. Even Perkins has developed a better midrange shot from 10 feet out.

So yea, trade Rondo for Conley and pick up Thabeet

Thabeet isn't that impressive.  I'd rather go with Tyreke Evans than Rubio.  I liked what I saw of him in the Olympics, but Evans impressed me more. 

Either way, this trade as it is reported is a crap deal.

I hope that Ford is incorrect.  He seems to call a lot of people, but how accurate has he been with projected deals?
