Cleveland has reportedly acquired Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio in exchange for Taurean Prince in a deal that also involves a 2022 draft pick and cash. Minnesota will also be sent a 2022 second-round draft pick and cash, according to The Athletic s Jon Krawczynski.
Bleacher Report s Jake Fisher reported that the Cavaliers are sending Minnesota $2.5 million as a part of the trade. The Timberwolves will reportedly save close to $5 million through the deal, giving them necessary cap relief, according to Krawczynski.
ESPN s Adrian Wojnarowski initially reported that the Cavaliers would be acquiring the draft pick and cash, rather than the Timberwolves. However, multiple reports have come out since then that suggest the opposite.
NBA Rumors: Acquisition Of Spanish Star May Further Push Changes In Cavs Backcourt
KEY POINTS
Rubio could be the starting point guard role if Collin Sexton exits
Sexton seems to be on the radar of several NBA teams
For those who may have gotten to follow Ricky Rubio ever since he joined the league in 2012, there is no question that the 30-year-old is a playmaker any team would love to have.
However, this is with a strict emphasis on playmaking. One flaw in the Spaniard’s game is that he is not a good outside shooter.
Hence, his entry could mean that either Darius Garland or Collin Sexton may have to pick up scoring as far as from the outside.

Olympic athletes competing in outdoor games have become increasingly vocal in their protests that Tokyo’s summer heat is a threat to their health, prompting tennis to reconfigure its schedule on Wednesday to the evenings to keep players out of the sun.
The decision followed objections from Novak Djokovic, the world’s top tennis player and a favorite to win the gold medal, and a particularly excruciating match for world number two Daniil Medvedev, who protested to the umpire Tuesday that if he continued playing, “I can die.” Djokovic is representing Serbia at the Summer Olympics; Medvedev is playing for the Russian Olympic Committee.
