Jason Kidd is 36 (turning 37 next season), and Rubio could learn a lot playing a season or two behind Kidd. The Mavericks are undoubtedly interested, but will need help making it happen.
The Kings are desperate for a starting point guard.
They recently acquired Sergio Rodriguez from the Blazers, but he’s not going to be the starter for the next decade. The Kings have an aging Bobby Jackson and inconsistent Beno Udrih listed at point guard.
The Kings have interesting trade candidates in Spencer Hawes, Jason Thompson and Kevin Martin. Some may feel Martin is untouchable, but this is a team that won 17 games last season and drafted shooting guard Tyreke Evans. Rebuilding a team around a Rubio and Evans doesn’t sound at all too bad.
There are definitely more candidates that can emerge out of the water. Many NBA teams are drooling over Rubio’s abilities and would be crazy not to at least speak internally about it.
