The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Ricky Rubio to the Utah Jazz. Minnesota will acquire Oklahoma City's 2018 first round pick from Utah, which is top-14 protected. 

With George Hill's future with the Jazz uncertain, trading for Rubio would give Utah protection against losing him.

The Jazz have cap space to absorb Rubio's deal.

Zach Lowe of ESPN reports Hill is likely to leave the Jazz.

With Minnesota trading away Rubio, they're expected to be active on the free agent point guard market with Kyle Lowry, Jeff Teague, George Hill and Jrue Holiday as options.
