Say goodbye to Jonny Flynn. You can bet he will be traded by draft night to make room exclusively for Rubio. Possible trading partners: Toronto, Detroit, Sacramento, Phoenix. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Minnesota Timberwolves, Trade, Jonny Flynn 

If Rubio does indeed sign as expected, point guard Jonny Flynn's days in Minnesota are numbered. Sources also indicated to HOOPSWORLD that Flynn is almost sure to be traded in that case with the Toronto Raptors being one of the most probable destinations. There could be some competition for his services as the Charlotte Bobcats and Detroit Pistons could also use some help at the lead guard spot. Flynn is a first-class individual with incredible character, but he hasn't produced as hoped in Minnesota and Rubio's arrival makes him expendable. At the age of 22 he still has some upside and his price tag is not very high at all. HoopsWorld

Other topics Kahn broached during a 40-minute recap of the season: -Jonny Flynn's future: The second-year point guard struggled mightily this season and never recovered from missing training camp and the first two months of the season with a hip injury. Kahn said Flynn's relationship with Rambis, which got off to a poor start in his rookie season, was repaired last spring, but "one thing led to another and it just fell apart again." Asked if Flynn had a future in Minnesota, Kahn said, "I don't know. That's my honest answer. I don't know." NBA.com

The Jonny Flynn to Houston talk is all about character. Flynn is an upbeat, motivated player, and has been great for morale in Minnesota. Brooks, meanwhile, has been a problem since being benched. Brooks could be Minnesota's starter and Flynn would be perfectly happy backing up Lowry. HoopsWorld

A number of GMs are telling me that the Wolves are out there offering Jonny Flynn around the league. Flynn was the No. 6 pick in the draft in 2009. The Wolves drafted Flynn and Ricky Rubio in the lottery -- passing on a number of other more successful guards including Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson and Darren Collison to get them. But injuries and general poor play by Flynn and the possibility of Rubio joining the team this summer now have the Wolves looking to move him. ESPN.com

Where will he land? Sources say the Wolves have offered Flynn to the Jazz as part of a Raja Bell deal. They are also talking to several other teams including the Blazers about a deal. ESPN.com

The Minnesota Timberwolves are shutting down point guard Jonny Flynn for the next week, hoping it will help his recovery from major hip surgery. Flynn was inactive against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. He also will likely miss back-to-back games coming out of the All-Star break on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. ESPN.com

Flynn, who had surgery on July 27 to repair a torn labrum in his left hip, has complained of stiffness and soreness in his groin. "We're trying to figure this out to get things moving a little quicker," Flynn said. "I just want to speed up the process with some rest. We'll see how this works out." Flynn said a mutual agreement was reached with Wolves coach Kurt Rambis and the team's medical staff to limit his activity over the next week. A decision was to be made after the game to determine Flynn's rehab plans during the all-star break. Rambis said Flynn, who started the Wolves' previous eight games, has not "looked comfortable" lately. Flynn was scoreless in 12 minutes in Monday night's loss to Portland. In the Wolves' past five games, Flynn averaged 11.0 points but had 21 turnovers. "We've been looking at videotape ... we've been seeing things," Rambis said. "You can tell he's not certain of things. He's too good of a player to not be comfortable and confident." St. Paul Pioneer Press

Two-plus weeks until the trade deadline, and the Carmelo Circus aside, along with those guys who everyone knows are on the block -- like the Nets' Troy Murphy and the Knicks' Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry -- here are the guys that, according to front office sources around the league, are eminently gettable before Feb. 24: Golden State center Andris Biedrins, Memphis guard O.J. Mayo, Lakers forward Ron Artest, Portland centers Marcus Camby and Joel Przybilla, Philadelphia forward Andre Iguodala, Phoenix forward Josh Childress, Washington forward Rashard Lewis, Detroit guard Rip Hamilton, Cleveland forward Antawn Jamison, Minnesota guard Jonny Flynn, Charlotte forwards Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw and Houston forward Jared Jeffries.

With the lockout looming, it's unlikely in the extreme that any team would take on any of these deals. There could be takers for Flynn, who has never really taken over the starting point guard job in Minnesota and who likely won't next season when and if Ricky Rubio comes over from Spain (though Rubio is not having a great season this year playing for FC Barcelona, one of the ACB and Euroleague's top teams). Mayo has been involved in trade rumors for weeks, and at 23 and still on his rookie contract, he'll likely be moving on (the fight with teammate Tony Allen on the team plane last month was not the only time Mayo has gotten into verbal altercations with teammates, I'm told).
