The long line of Ricky Rubio trade rumors may finally be coming to an end. After almost two years of being on the trade block, the Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly dealing him to the Utah Jazz for a 2018 first round pick.

It fills obvious needs for both teams going into free agency. The Timberwolves clear out Rubio’s salary and also acquire a draft pick in the process. For the Jazz, they had $16 million in cap room they had to spend before July 1st or it just simply disappeared with the beginning of the new NBA league year. They spent it and will begin to prepare for a future without George Hill and possibly Gordon Hayward.

Following comes from Shams Charania of The Vertical, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune, Spencer Checketts of 1280 ‘The Zone’ in Utah and Marc Stein of ESPN.

Minnesota and Utah are in active discussions on a deal to send guard Ricky Rubio to the Jazz, league sources tell The Vertical.
