A story on ESPN from Marc Stein and Chris Haynes reports that the Wolves and Pistons have discussed a trade centering around Ricky Rubio and Reggie Jackson. There is no indication that something is close to happening, but it is one of the first stories we’ve seen suggesting the possible parameters of a return for Rubio, who is once again said to be on the block.
This strikes me as a bad idea for the Wolves, for several reasons. First, I believe that Rubio is a better player than Jackson, so the return is a downgrade, before even factoring in salary.
