Suns focusing on Ricky Rubio, not D’Angelo Russell?
According to Zach Lowe of ESPN, the Suns are actually focusing on veteran floor general Ricky Rubio. Lowe adds that Phoenix will look at Russell, who’s close with Devin Booker, but Rubio seems to be the main target. The Suns currently only have about $14 million in cap room, making Rubio a more feasible target.
The 28-year-old Rubio spent the first six years of his NBA career in Minnesota before being traded to Utah during the summer of 2017.
He is coming off a 2018/19 campaign with the Utah Jazz in which he played 68 games and averaged 12.7 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
