Taking not one, but two players who might not want to play in Minnesota? That would have taken real cojones. We took Rubio and Jonny Flynn, a ready-to-play point guard who started 81 games for us as a rookie and then fell victim to a terrible hip injury.

David Kahn: Flynn made his final move to the top of our charts based on his impressive visit and workout with Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings, among others. That was the player I wanted.

There are only two reasons to share this story now. The following season he numbers dropped dramatically. He averaged only 5. Really the only highlight from his season was the career-high 14 assists that he dropped against the Detroit Pistons in early March. He only played 11 games with them before being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in March along with fellow draft bust Hasheem Thabeet.

He played 18 games with them down the stretch. Flynn averaged 4. That was the end of his time in the NBA. Flynn is a quicker ball pusher that would fit that role. The No. He has been a controversial player in Minnesota because the Wolves drafted European star point guard Ricky Rubio in the same draft.

The Cavs have been in talks to acquire other quick guards. In addition to Paul and Flynn, the team has been in talks with the Phoenix Suns about speedy combo guard Leandro Barbosa. Expect Cavs to pursue unrestricted free agent Jonny Flynn to be the backup point guard.

Interest there on both sides. Jonny Flynn unrestricted free agent Did you think about this being your last practice as a Blazer?
