Report: Sixers May Also Be Interested in Ricky Rubio, Probably Everyone Else

If all the reports are to believed (they’re not), Bryan Colangelo is calling and texting every single GM about every single pick and player available. Supposedly the Sixers were involved with both the Teague and Rose deals at some point before those guys were dealt to other clubs, and what they’re offering might not be getting the interest they hoped for:
Market for Nerlens Noel seems to be far overstated by some. More likely he fetches a late lottery pick in a trade as opposed to top-5 pick.

Lil’ Bry wants the number three pick to get Kris Dunn, but if he can’t, he may make a move for a veteran point guard. And who would it be? Maybe Ricky Rubio:
Sixers probably aiming to get to 3 to get Dunn but also have been doing their due diligence on Rubio for months https://t.co/pehbXbyhCm

Rubio is still only 25 years old and would be under contract through 2018-2019. But with him and Simmons, you wonder if any jump shots would even be taken next year.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
