A lot of NBA trade rumors have been mentioning the name of Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves. This team has used Kris Dunn, the No. 5 draft pick as point guard resulting in rumors involving Rubio. It seems that the Timberwolves are thinking of moving him and let Dunn handle the lead guard tasks for the team.
Rubio Is Asking To Be Traded?
Some of the Ricky Rubio NBA trade rumors cooled down when Dunn had a shaky start. But there is a report from Sportsrageous that Rubio has allegedly asked his team to make a trade. He cited the team's lack of progress while he is on its roster. It appears that one of the team he is eyeing is the Sacramento Kings.
Meanwhile, Rudy Gay of the Sacramento Kings is allegedly being considered by the LA Lakers. This small forward has been involved in a lot of NBA trade rumors lately. It seems that the Lakers want to unload Luol Deng along with his big contract. However, the Lakers would still go for a powerful small forward to handle the chores of Brandon Ingram.
Zach LaVine Also Being Traded By The Timberwolves
Many NBA trade rumors are also persistently involving Zach LaVine. According to some media outlets, he is allegedly being traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves for a veteran NBA player. There are even some reports that say Tom Thibodeau, the team's president and head coach wants a veteran player for LaVine in order to boost his roster.
LaVine has enough talents and skills that could entice other teams to make a trade. An NBA league analyst said that other teams will get their chance to develop the skills of LaVine and reap the benefits. "LaVine's crazy athleticism and upside could make him the most likely one to move," said the analyst. The analyst also said that Thibodeau would be open to trade anybody in his team but not Andrew Wiggins or Karl-Anthony Towns.
