I've always thought Rubio was underrated as well.  Prior to trading Rondo for Crowder + draft pick (which ended up working out better) I was always hoping the C's would trade Rondo for Rubio.

If I was the T'Wolves I'd hang on to Ricky and see how the chemistry with Butler works.  Maybe sign an FA like Patty Mills to bring shooting off the bench to spread the floor more when Rubio is out of the game.

Rubio might be good in Detroit, but I don't know why MIN would want to take back Reggie Jackson.

So they've hung onto Rubio all these years, and they've finally acquired some legit players for him to pass to, and NOW they want to get rid of him?
They’ve wanted to get rid of him for years.

Right, but now they have some very good offensive players (Towns, Butler, Wiggins) who complement Rubio's primary strength (passing), so it seems to me he's a better fit now than ever before.
