[Kruza]

A report from Yahoo! Sports is confirming that Ricky Rubio will continue to play in Spain for two more seasons before leaving to the NBA.

Rubio to stay in Spain for two more seasons

Looks like Jonny Flynn will have a better opportunity to earn playing time for the Timberwolves during his rookie season.

Oh no Pistol Pete Junior is not coming to the NBA. What should we do?. Timberwolves were idots to pick this moron, They could of have flynn and Stephen Curry.

Its funny how these international players have this much power to chose where they want to go. And i dont get these idiot GM that draft so call high profile international players dont want to be there, its makes no sense to do it man. Now they waste a pick on this idiot when they could have another player like a Stephen Curry.

[ehh]

I don't know what's funnier about this situation...

1) Minny was dumb enough to take this kid
2) Minny's front office somehow got worse after firing Kevin McHale
3) According to a (most likely BS) rumor, Minny wants David Lee, Nate Robinson and a future #1 pick to trade Rubio to the Knicks.

So what does this mean, do minnesota lose his rights eventually, does the pick become wasted? It doesn't seem fair if that's the case, why the hell enter the draft if you have no intention of playing for half the teams who might draft you wtf

The NBA needs to stop kissing the butt of every foreign player. It's not the first foreign player to make fun of the NBA, and looks like it's not gonna be the last one.

Rubio wasn't going to do anything in the league worth mentioning until then.

Hopefully he comes into the association as a player instead of just hype.

agreed.

How exactly did our front office get worse? I think Kahn is the best thing to happen to this franchise since KG was drafted.

What has he done that's so bad? We're not going to be competitive for two more years anyways and at the very worst its trade bait.

All the trade made so far has cleared up a monstrous amount of cap room for next off-season.
