Rubio to stay in Spain?

[Kuzzy Powers]

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 fincally well-being by turning down two of the top three!

Oh, yeah, agreed completely.

Theres really no defence for this guy. Im not saying the T-Wolves are smart for drafting him, infact, its quite the contrary. And hey, good for him if he decides to go back to Spain and make money. But it doesnt change that hes a spoiled bitch. Hes done everything in his own power to come off as one, including going back on his own word.. a word that might've done good in making him look like exactly the opposite of a spoiled bitch.

If he decides to stay and play in Minnesota, then he will get atleast a portion of my respect.

For the record, player cap is 1M. lol

Team cap is like 4.6M.

I think the player cap is actually $400,000.

Here are some simple questions:

- Would you pay to have a job where you didn't want to work at?

- If you had alternatives, would you decide not to use these alternatives to better your position in your chosen field?

- If you felt a job could actually hurt your future in your chosen field, would you take it?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are an idiot.

So basically its ok in your mind for draftees to be able to pick and choose what team they get to play for. Why dont we just scrap the draft all together and just let top prospects be free agents? Or why dont we all give our word that we want to play in the NBA regardless of the financial situation and then completely go back on that word, too. Sounds like great things for young athletes to do.

Care to explain to me how it is so bad that a person gets to influence where he works? He doesn't get to choose what team drafts him, but he can definitely influence who does. He doesn't get to choose what team he plays for in the NBA, but he can definitely influence what team he plays for.

You want all the power to be in the hands of the NBA, all this kid is doing is calling the bluff of Minnesota. They had no intention of keeping him in reality, but now he is calling them on it and he is the bad guy? There is no bad guy in this situation, just the stupid people in Minnesota who drafted him.

What is your opinion of Cutler? You better hate him considering he went back on his word with Denver and acted like a "little bitch". Are you crying for him to blow out a knee in Chicago and never play again? Why not? He has done NOTHING in the pros of any major note.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

How are the Cutler and Rubio situations even comparable? Cutler was pushed out of town by his new, moronic coach. Rubio is a 19 year old kid who has proved nothing, said he wants to play in the NBA, even if its for free, enters the draft.. GETS DRAFTED.. and now is being a complete little bitch about the situation.

LMAO @ calling Minnesota's bluff. What fucking bluff? Why would they fully come out and say we intend to play you together without having those intentions? If their intention was to use him as a trade asset, then they would have said 'we're evaluating all our options', typical NBA GM talk.

Rubio is a spoiled bitch. Theres no two ways about it. If you consider him a bad guy or not for that is of your own discression. I personally, dont like the kid, and hes doing nothing to help his image with me or others that feel the same way.

Lol @ and being bad that a person influences where he works. The NBA is not your typical work situation dude, especially when you're a rookie. When you enter a draft, you are going to get drafted by someone. Thats the whole point. Thats why you enter the draft. When you come out and say you dont want to go to 2 out of the 4 first teams picking first, you're already narrowing your options. So you fall to 5, a team drafts you who wants you, and now you come off as a bitch and want to go back home, going back on everything you've said in the last week. How is this not a bitch move? Im baffled by how you cant see that this kid is spoiled. He wants everything his way. This is the fucking NBA you little punk, you're just a fucking fly on the screen. The NBA wont miss Ricky Rubio if he never comes to play here, its a fucking privilege to play for ANY NBA team, only punks and spoiled bitches do shit like Ricky Rubio, especially when you've proven nothing. When vets demand trades and so forth, its earned through your play throughout your career. Rookies have no right to be doing this kind of garbage.

 

[JeremyHight]

Oh my gosh, Denver looked into trade offers. Guess what Minnesota was doing all during the draft... trying to trade! Cutler is a spoiled bitch just as much as Rubio, even worse is the fact that they actually drafted someone at the same position in Minnesota when in Denver, Cutler was the clear cut starter.

As such, shouldn't you be crying that Cutler should blow out a knee and never play again? After all, it is an honor to play in the NFL and Cutler should have been happy and fulfilled the promise he made via contract to the Broncos rather than crying like a baby and basically forcing a trade.

Face it, Cutler = Rubio. Both were in a situation they didn't like and used their alternatives (holding out and Spain, respectively). The only difference is that you are riding Cutler's dick while bashing Rubio. At least I am consistent and not a hypocrite by saying that neither was really in the wrong.

 

[Vinsane]

Where's the Josh Childress thread?

Just wondering if you guys argued about him as much when he took the bigger contract, to play in Greece.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Again, if you didnt have a reading comprehension, you would've read where it says that veterans demanding trades is different from unproven rookies going against their own word and trying to avoid playing for MULTIPLE teams.

And lol @ you trying to grasp at strings with Cutler. Get over it dude, Rubio is a bitch. Cutler was pushed out of town. And I could give a fuck if you consider him a bitch.. but numerous veterans have demanded trades, it doesnt compare to an undrafted player basically not wanting to play for multiple teams. The fact that you're even trying to compare them is moronic in itself.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

How is that comparable? Lol. Wow. Josh was an NBA free agent, he was allowed to pick wherever he wanted to go. He didnt cry when he was drafted by Atlanta.

Lol @ these ridiculous comparisons to Ricky Rubio. Unreal..

Cutler pushed out of town? Were Rondo and Allen pushed out of town in Boston when they were offered in trades? Cutler was just another part of a proposed trade that didn't happen. Instead of being professional about it, he cried his way to Chicago.

Just face the facts, you are a hypocrite. I'm fine with you being one, it is blantantly apparent considering you are willing to defend one guy who has accomplished zero in the pros really (Cutler), but bashing another guy because he has accomplished zero in the pros. Hell, Rubio has accomplished more in the pros that Cutler has considering he has a championship under his belt, has medalled in the Olympics, and has won MVP awards, while Cutler has done... what? CUTLER HASN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!

So you are right, Rubio is different than Cutler... he is more proven at his chosen field!

 

[Vinsane]

No he didn't cry when he was drafted by Atlanta.

He did however make a smart play and went where the money was. Greece. He was offered a MLE by the Hawks, he turned that down and walked. Rubio is a Spanish player first and an NBA player second. This is what the NBA gets for allowing guys to go to the Euroleague for "development".

Minnesota isn't buying out his contract. He has to pay for it. And to pay out of your own pocket to go play for another (lesser?) team? Doesn't make sense to me either. He can make more money in the Euroleague and develop his game further should he wish to stay in Spain. (Edit: Or try the NBA option later)

Your on here ripping people about their opinion of the situation and you really have no argument.

Rubio is well within his rights to stay in Spain.

Sorry T'Wolves.

 

[Archer]

This can only go downhill from here

 

[mgoblue2290]

LOL at anyone who thinks Flynn and Rubio could really be in a back court together.

Jay Cutler didnt ask McDaniels to handle the situation the way he did. Cutler was willing to work through it but McDaniels let the shit hit the fan. Again, its not even comparable, Rubio has never even stepped foot on an NBA floor, not even a fucking college floor, he has zero right to be picking and choosing where he wants to be drafted. Give me a god damn break, how can you condone that from a punk kid like that?

LMFAO @ MVP awards. MVP of the U-16 European Championship? Really dude? Try grasping at strings some more, jesus christ. I guess I should defend with Cutler winning SEC offensive player of the year.. except that would be just as fucking moronic as mentioning an MVP award from when the kid hadnt hit puberty. Wow...

Gotta love how deep people like to dig when they have no argument anymore. So are you admitting Rubio is a bitch now or what? I mean.. since you seem to be calling Cutler a bitch and saying Rubio's the same, then Rubio must be a bitch to you, correct? I guess im a hypocrite and you're a flip flopper bcus now you're going against your own argument.

Sorry T'Wolves.

Childress and Rubio are not comparable even in the slightest. The only comparison is that they both played in Europe last season.

Rubio was going to buy out his own contract regardless. And LMFAO @ you calling Minnesota a lesser team than DKV Joventut.. or any fucking team in Europe. DKV isnt even the 2nd best team in the Spagnola for fucks sake, nvm the Euroleague.

Rubio is definitely in his rights to stay in Spain.. but he never should've said he wants to play for free, entered the draft, fully knowing he was going to be a top draft pick, and then use his right to stay in Spain. THAT is what is making this such a bitch move.

Lol @ no argument.. yeah bcus ive been failing to argue this for pages. Ive yet to see anyone give me a good reason why Rubio isnt bitch made.

 

[FirstTimer]

I think so far this entire thread so far is an overreaction to something that Rubio's dad said and rumors rather than any actual news from Ricky or his agent...............unless I missed a news break.

Seems like there was a good chance before the draft even went down that Rubio would have to play for another year or so in Europe because of his contract situation anyways so I really see no point to this thread right now.
