Ricky Rubio

Cavs acquire Ricky Rubio from Minnesota

The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired the veteran point guard from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have clearly identified some areas of need prior to the NBA Draft and that led to a trade beforehand with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cleveland acquired veteran guard Ricky Rubio in exchange for Taurean Prince, and cash.

The Cavs apparently plan to keep Ricky Rubio for the upcoming season.

A veteran presence in the backcourt has been a glaring need for the Cavs and landing Rubio can help solve that problem. While the plan is to keep Rubio next season, considering the competitive level that the team is currently at, flipping him during the season seems to be inevitable. For the time being having Rubio mentor some of the younger guards on the roster is a plus, but his stay in The Land seems to have a definite end date.
