    I don't remember Rubio saying that he didn't want to play in Minnesota.....did I miss something? I remember hearing it with Memphis and Oklahoma City, but not Minnesota. Either way Rubio does come across as a chump, but he's been treated like the next big thing for several years now, so him having an ego really isn't much of a surprise.

    I really don't fault him for using his leverage though, because if he's in a position to force a trade and wants to play elsewhere than use what you have to get what you want. I remember Eli Manning doing that and it seems to have worked out for him. As long as you have the goods its okay....Rubio just better be sure that if he forces his way out that he brings the goods to where ever he is trying to go.

    Minnesota obviously had intentions of trading either Rubio or Flynn, because the two can’t coexist, as the both need the ball in their hands to be successful. Not to mention they’d be a very small backcourt that would get exposed on the defensive end. Neither is a premier pro prospect, so its not as if either will be coming in and finding immediate successs. Grooming young PG's is one of the hardest things to do in pro basketball and you mean to tell me they have two? Nah, they wouldn't do that. They're hoping for a trade.

        Apparently, Kahn is fielding offers. Fingers crossed.

          Im willing to bet that as soon as Rubio knew NY were intrested he lost all intrest in playing for Minny

          He wont be the first player in sports to do similar nor will he be the last

            In my opinion, it is an honor to be asked such a question and you not answering it really makes you into a little bitch. Sure, you don't have to answer it, but I guess you're just too busy or something, further proving that you are a "pre-madonna" (HAHAHAHA) and a little bitch.
            You've proven your opinion is fucking terrible in this thread. So if you enjoy having a terrible opinion, than by all means, express it freely.

            And I didnt dodge anything.. selective reading FTW. I already said the clown would get endorsement deals regardless.

            Id suck it up and take what was given to me. I would be honoured to be drafted at all, and if I was a high draft pick I would be expecting to go to a SHITTY TEAM. How can you deny this guy is a bitch? The mere fact that you think its ok for players to do this makes you a little bitch in yourself.

                So if your job offered you a promotion to be an executive, you would take it, even if you had to pay them money and not get a salary? It is an honor to be an executive at a prosperous company and it is an honor to receive a promotion. Jobs pickings are very slim with the economy and all. But you would definitely take it because of the honor, even if you are losing money in the process?

                THAT IS BULL SHIT! You are calling this kid a bitch for doing something every one of us would do in the same situation. Gee... lose money or make money... tough fucking choice.

                  I found the Timberwolves only draft resource lastnight. Their draft board.

                    Are you this dense? The kid is going to play for free REGARDLESS of where he goes. He already came out and SAID he would play for free. Hes being a little bitch bcus he doesnt want to go to cold weather cause his mommy dont like the cold. That is the definition of a BITCH MOVE.

                    How can you deny that its not bitch to not go to a team bcus your mom doesnt like cold weather? Really? Thats not a spoiled little bitch move to you? If you cant see that you must be blind.

                      Wow, this just made me realize that noone took Tyrese Rice or AJ Abrams. I cant believe how much talent went undrafted this year.

                        I think what a lot of people forget is that Rubio actually said he would buyout his own contract. And now, he's going back on his word.

                        Well, he did say that when he thought he was going top 3.

                        He's making less money now and staying in Europe one more year might be the best thing for him financially.

                          Are you dense? The guy made ONE comment saying his mother hated cold weather, then went on to say he would be priviledged to come to the NBA and "I want to play basketball, and if they give me minutes, I'm going to come." You think this has ANYTHING to do with his mother instead of... oh... I don't know, the fact that he'd have to pay out a multi-million dollar buyout just to play in a terrible situation like Minnesota?

                            Rubio made it clear he didnt want to go to OKC so he likely was expect to go 4th. So in essence he dropped one pick financially.. which isnt that significant.

                            What you said originally is true.. dude is going back on his own word now. Pure bitch move. This kid a pure prima donna ().

                              So no idea how he expected to go in the top 3

                                Again, are you this dense. He has to payout to play regardless. Whether its Minni, New York, LA, or Toronto, that doesnt change. His mother not wanting to play in the cold was HIS words. HIS FUCKING WORDS. Not my words fool. If you want to spin it in his favour despite his OWN words then you're just grasping at strings. Im using the mother example bcus its the most glaring thing that makes him spoiled. Even if that wasnt a factor it wouldnt change that hes a spoiled little punk. If its a fucking privilege to play in the NBA then fucking play in the NBA, stop acting like a fucking BITCH. The GM already said hes going to play him.. so obviously hes completely going back on his word. So.. basically you're supporting MY argument with your post.

                                Good job, its easy to argue when the other end supports you too.
