Trade Coming? Wolves Draft Rubio, Flynn

Found June 25, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Jonny Flynn
TEAMS: Syracuse Orange

by Matt WatsonFiled under: Timberwolves, NBA Draft, NBA RumorsWhen the Kings opted for Tyreke Evans with the fourth pick, Ricky Rubio fell to the Timberwolves at No. 5. Considering it wasn't that long ago that Rubio was talked about as a potential No. 1 pick, you can't blame Minnesota for taking a player who should be their point guard of the future.Except, just five minutes later, the Timberwolves took Jonny Flynn out of Syracuse, giving them the two best point guards of the draft. Are they going to hold on to both players? It's theoretically possible, but a more likely scenario is that we'll see one of them involved in another trade, possibly announced sometime tonight.Trade Coming?

Jonny Flynn Is All About the 'Mid Coast'

6. Minnesota Timberwolves: Jonny Flynn, Syracuse. Minnesota is stocking up on point guards, and why not? Rubio isn't ready to come in and lead the team for 30 minutes a night, but that's Flynn's specialty.
