Via NBA.com:"Ricky Rubio's Spanish pro team has agreed to trade his rights to Regal FC Barcelona in a deal that will prevent the 18-year-old point guard from joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for two years, according to two internet reports. "
"Yahoosports.com and ESPN.com cited anonymous sources in reports that said DKV Joventut informed Timberwolves vice president of basketball operations David Kahn on Monday night of the agreement, dashing the team's hopes that Rubio would be in the United States this fall."
"Under his agreement with the Regal Barcelona, according to the reports, is a stipulation that would allow him to leave after the 2010-11 European season without having to pay a buyout."
I think the Timberwolves saw this possibly coming and thats why they drafted 2 point guards (the other being Johnny Flynn). But I didnt see what all the hype was about anyway. I never thought Rubio was that good to begin with. He cant shoot, turns the ball over alot, and isnt physically ready to play in the NBA. We'll see how he looks in a couple years.
