As the Jazz’s front office met on the second floor of the Zions Bank Basketball Campus to decide which direction they were going to take their team through the final hours before the trade deadline, Ricky Rubio was sitting one floor down, eating lunch with teammates Joe Ingles and Kyle Korver.
Oh, and he was sending out tweets, too, getting through one of the most nervy moments of his career with humor. “Joe Ingles had two coffees this a.m. league source tell Ricky”, said one tweet. Another joked that if he turned his phone on airplane mode, he wouldn’t be able to accept news of the trade.
