MINNEAPOLIS — The Timberwolves traded the beloved Ricky Rubio twice in his career, the first time for a draft pick in 2017 and the second time for forward Taurean Prince, among other considerations.
Earlier this season it wasn't always easy for Wolves fans to watch as Rubio thrived in Cleveland before tearing his left ACL while Prince struggled to stay in the rotation for the Wolves.
He was coming off ankle surgery and getting used to a new coach and a new defensive system.
