Timberwolves putting Ricky Rubio on the trade block

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio is reportedly being actively shopped by the team.

What It Means:

The Timberwolves are reportedly looking to find someone who can start in the short-term, but that will eventually serve as a backup to fifth-overall pick Kris Dunn. There aren't any rumored deals on the table, but this certainly bodes well for Dunn's value as a stash in deeper leagues.

It has been a rough season for Rubio, who owns a career-worst 34.4 assist percentage while posting a career-low 7.6 points and matching a career-low 4.0 rebounds. He's currently tied for sixth on the Timberwolves with a 0.0 nERD.
