Rubio to stay in Spain?

[ralaw]

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

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

No, you are just not answering the question he posed, not me. He said, would you rather pay to play in the NBA in a bad situation or wait a year and make money with a Spanish club and possibly get a deal in LA or NY? You dodged the question completely.

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.

The TimberLOLves and Ricky RubiBRO.

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.

LOL

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.

 

[mfbmike]

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.

 

[JeremyHight]

He lost about 26%, which is the difference between picks 2 and 5. After taxes and everything, if the buyout is lets say 3 million dollars (which is conservative), he'd be paying about 1.4 million dollars just to play in the NBA this season.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Memphis yes, but OKC too. Atleast according to the the same rumours.

A source recently told DraftExpress, “Rubio doesn’t want to go to Memphis, and he especially does not want to pay money out of his own pocket with that huge buyout for the honor of doing so. (Dan) Fegan [Rubio’s agent] wants him in L.A., and if he can’t have him there, he wants him in Sacramento. [Definitely not Oklahoma City.“

So basically the bitch was butt-hurt when the Kings didnt take him and thinks he can pick and chose what team he gets to play for. Yeah.. doesnt sound like a SPOILED BITCH at all.

How could he have expected to go 2nd or 3rd when he made it clear he didnt want to go there? So recalculate how much he losses between going 4th and 5th.. bcus realistically thats where he was expecting to go, based on his own spoiled demands. Surey he didnt expect to go to the Clippers, either.

I was saying that he also said no to memphis so surely there is no way that the kid expected to go in the top 3. He ruined his own well-being (money wise) by turning down two of the top three!

Hey least the timberwolves drafted ty lawson too. They had a backup plan lol

Anybody see what Kevin Love wrote on his twitter page about he picks?
