If this is actually true, I think this is good news for the T-wolves. JFlynn gets his shot at PG and if he strikes out we have a 20 year old Rubio coming for the 2011-2012 season. If Flynn is a star, Rubio’s trade value only goes up playing in Spain.

this is not good news and I hold to my opinion that if he does not play this year he will never play. Still until Kahn confirms it I believe none of it. THey all reported this last week and an hour later they were false

somethin huge is going down in minny this week. ya’ll better be ready for it.

Me think’s Rubio’s Rights are being traded to the Knicks.

to the knicks their whole team wouldnt be enough to trade for rubio

that would be the worst moves in the history in the nba to trade

rubio for those losers

would be a Package involving Center David Lee.

Yahoo is shameless. The headline – total news headline, not the sports one – is ‘NBA team loses out on pick’ with "The Timberwolves’ big gamble on Spain’s Ricky Rubio has gone bust.’ and a link to biggest draft busts of the decade. I am beginning to understand why people seem so misinformed.

 And do we want Lee at a big number? He sure as heck isn’t a #1 guy.

Dammit I want Rubio to play for the Wolves, whenever. Kid lost a ton of money if this is true.

I’m not trying to rub this in anybody’s face but I told you what was going to happen. Rubio will not be a Wolve.
Rubio wants to play for the Knicks.
Rubio’s father wants him to play for the Knicks.
Rubio’s agent wants him to play for the Knicks.
Rubio’s mother wants him to play for the Knicks.
It’s a no brainer and Rubio had all the power.
Kahn may have made the dumbest move since Isiah.
Sorry guys….I would say focus on John Wall in next years draft because he will be a better pg than anybody we’ve seen in a loooooooooooong time but you already have Flynn right?
Then again..with Kahns track record of drafting pg’s ….hey you never know.
FYI….that youtube link is classic!!!!
Make sure you don’t boo Rubio to loud when we come out to Minny!!!!

Al has a 3.5" standing reach advantage (love just 0.5" less), is heavier and less mobile. Can we just get over it and accept that Al can score on anybody and can guard some PFs and most C’s?
 Kevin Love has essentially identical offense/defense PER at C than Lee. And a much better PF differential. Al has an All-Star level 26 PER at C and a better defensive PER than Lee. I know it is necessarily that simple….but sometimes it is.
  We don’t need to pay somebody who is 26 8 figures or 8 million to do something that really doesn’t help all that much, if at all.

We are not going to throw in Wilson Chandler.
He would become your best defender his first day there.
You will more than likely get Lee and a future protected pick.
Since the player your sending us (Rubio) only has to make up half of Lee’s contract.
Lee is a better rebounder and scorer than Love is.
Lee led the league in double doubles last year which is not easy.
I’ll take Jefferson over Lee and Love anyday. I always loved Jeffersons game and I think he’s someone you should build around.
The Rubio trade could be a 3 way trade also.
You’ll probably want us to take back Cardinal (expiring) which we might or we might not.
Now Walsh is holding the cards because he knows Kahn has to trade him.
This gets better and better each day.
You never know…..Kahn and Walsh are great friends so they’ll figure something out.

I’m done. Deciding not to wait two years for him may be foolish, but it’s at least a somewhat sensible decision.

Giving Rubio to a team with no possible value to send us in return just because the media says we should (and our GM worked for theirs) would be another thing entirely.

You have to understand that Kahn is in no position to wait 2 years. He traded away 2 heavy rotation players for nothing…..let me repeat that…..FOR NOTHING!!!
He has nothing to show for his #5 pick.
He is not going to wait 2 years because the deal is actually 6 years with an option for coming in the 2nd year.
I told you in the other post….this is poker and when they announced that Rubio will sign with that other team in Spain…that was Rubio’s camp calling Kahns bluff. Kahn tried to go to Spain and call Rubio’s bluff and Rubio is going to end up signing with the other team lol.
Another thing LoveTo…when you say
“Giving Rubio to a team with no possible value to send us in return just because the media says we should (and our GM worked for theirs) would be another thing entirely”

Don’t forget that Rubio wants to play for the Knicks.
That is the most important thing to remember.
It’s all about where Rubio wants to play and he wants to play for 1 team.
Since he doesn’t have to play in the NBA for the next 6 years…why would another team trade for him when they know he doesn’t want to play for them? LOL
Come on man…this isn’t rocket science.
Rubio holds all the cards.

@Timmuggs
You act like he’s going to grow in Barcelona and then come play for you.
If Rubio would’ve wanted to play for you…he wouldn’t be signing with Barcelona.

How many NBA players have a buyout like Rubio….that’s why he holds the cards.
Don’t take it from me…take it from your own reporter.

" Laimbeer, Theus to join Rambis’ staff

Rubio trade with Knicks in the works?
Posted on August 31st, 2009 – 8:29 PM
By Jerry Zgoda
News just broke tonight that Ricky Rubio is poised to sign with Barcelona, but is that really it?

Might the Wolves be about to deal the Spanish point guard, perhaps to the New York Knicks, which Rubio’s parents and representatives have wanted all along?

A league source tells me there’s plenty of talk floating that the Knicks again are pushing hard to deal for Rubio — probably with an assist from agent Dan Fegan — and there’s word of a Rubio for restricted free agent David Lee, Nate Robinson and a No. 1 pick deal.

That’d give the Wolves three power forward types, wouldn’t it? But with David Kahn, anything could be possible.

Of course, the Wolves would have to give back some sizable salaries to make the deal work (with the Knicks signing and then trading Lee), but they do have Brian Cardinal and Mark Blount, to name two contracts that total $14 million plus.

The Rubio-to-Barcelona thing still may be just the latest threat to get Rubio to a market where endorsements presumably will pay most of that big buyout.

Stayed tuned.

Now your talking.
Get something for this kid while you can.
Nobody knows what’s going to happen.

@kevinlovesmchalesnavy

Including the owner of the team!!!!

It’s ok Wolves fans….
A few sources in NY just deaded the rumors so you can breathe…..for now!!! LOL

Kahn will get around to trading him…and when he does, there’s only one team that he will call.

Unless this guy Zgoda has a source that is the most reliable soource in the NBA.

Kahn deserves to get shredded. He had 4 first round draft picks 4. He is a total buffoon. This team is terrible with not hope

2011 = NBA lockout = rubio not coming over till 2012 maybe

For the record tim I agree with you. If he does not play this year I don’t believe he ever will. I have no evidence for this, but he has no vested rights at all. Once teh collective barganing agreement expires and there is a lockout 2011 he may lose everything. They can change the rookie pay scale however they want. Fagan knows this.

The point was that the owners will have to change something because of the economy so many teams are not making money. The players union will be more likely to negotiate deals for rookies who are not in the union before they are players that are in the union. Nothing may change, you are correct on that, however, that is not a guarantee. There are no guarantees in regards to this so that is why Ricky is taking a risk, a fairly big one, that the 2011 contract could give him less money. Who knows what it will. I don’t know.

Agree with the posters that a straight up knicks deal makes no sense. Kahn could not spin this to Wolves fans after saying he wants stars, not position players. Wilson, Robinson, Lee are #4 options or backups, not options #1-3 even on current Wolves.
They should either (1) regroup, sign a vet PG, a wing like Carney, and play young potential core/back ups of Flynn, Ellington, Gomes, Brewer, Carney, Love, Jefferson, Hollins max minutes this year, go after FA in 2010, and use draft picks and Rubio rights in 2010/11 or (2) only deal with the Knicks if they bring in a 3rd team that brings combo of ridding Wolves of Blount, Cardinal, Songalia, etc, brings true #1-caliber SG/SF, and/or an unprotected 1st rounder in 2010. Who could/would do a 3-team trade that brings that to the table?

In an article dated Sept. 1st (posted in the last 5 hours for sure).

http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=641431&idseccio_PK=808

 They say things like ‘Barcelona thinks it has it’ and ‘though everybody met, at the end of the end of the night a deal was insinuated, but nothing official.’
 They say the Barca guys negotiated until dawn, but even at daybreak Juventut did not answer. Villacampa says it is to allow the Wolves/Fegan to make specific their offer – though it seems only half of Barca’s – they can’t continue to wait for Minny to step up.
  Barcelona also applying pressure by saying they could pull the offer, they are a good team already and don’t really need Ricky, so decide already.
 Sorry for the quickie – the precise timing of the reporting is not clear (at least to me, daybreak could only be Monday morning, recent news seems Monday evening, but why post this so late in Spain with potentially large new info?), but as I said, it was posted in the last few hours. Any real Spanish speakers out there?

The more I read this blog…the more I realize how delusional some people here are.
You really think Sac would trade Kevin Martin in a deal where they don’t get Rubio? Martin would be the best player in that deal and the same goes with Deng. Nobody is going to trade All Star talent….NOBODY!! You may have a chance at the Rudy Gay scenario but stop reaching with Deng and Martin.
There will be a third team involved and you won’t get an all star for Rubio…it’s just not going to happen.
Rubio will never play for the Wolves…..Remember it was Rubio who decided to play in Barcelona…even with Kahn in Spain. He does not want to play in Minn.
Chandler would be the 3rd option on your team easily behind Jefferson and he may even be in front of Love. He’s a better scorer, athlete and defender than Love.
No need for the name calling….I’m trying to be nice about this.
I could easily insult your organization for taking 4 pg’s in the 1st round but I’ll leave that alone. Nobody knows what Kahn is doing..not even him.
G. Taylor will get involved with this sooner or later and he will tell him to make something happen. He will not let Kahn sit on his hands for 2 years.
Who is your starting line up right now at this moment?
Flynn
Love
Jefferson
?
?

caliwolf, read the article. I am not fluent in spanish, am in latin (does me little good here but) I read it the same way. The thing that troubles me about all the news reports is this. DKV trades ricky to Barca. Ricky signs new contract, why not contact from ricky. All ricky has to do is say he’s not signing the barcelona offer and boom there is no deal. Also the article and numerous articles have said that Minnies offer is complex and they have to study it, so why reject something you don’t understand. I mean yeah he is probably gone, but the article raises some questions I have. Until Rubio or Kahn himself says something I take everything with a grain of salt.

HUH?!?!?!?!?
Waiting for Kahn to work his magic?
Really?

“If he was traded to the Knicks, he would be in the same exact situation he is in now.”

HUH?!?!?!?
Really???

However this plays out, we need to weigh the results against the alternatives of selecting Rubio…Curry, DeRozan, etc.

Disappointing as a Rubio trade or a two year wait may be, it is far too early to say Kahn F-ed this up. Personally, I think Kahn has done all he can to bring Rubio over and that selecting the highest value player (Rubio) was the correct move.

The potential mistake will be a knee jerk trade of Rubio to appease the fans with immediate gratification. If we trade Rubio, so be it, but let’s get real value, not Knick retreads.

First of all…the Knicks would come up with only $500,000…the same you came up with.
However, the companies like Nike…..McDonalds…..Sprite…..Spalding (spell check)….they would easily come up with the rest of it. I’m sure Rubio wouldn’t mind paying a million of his own buyout…that would leave 6.5 mill left over for the 4 companies above to split. Nike would probably pay 2 mill alone.
This may be hard to understand but when you play in NY….everything is magnetized.
There’s a reason why Nate Robinson’s jersey is top 10 in the league while the rest of the list is filled with future hall of famers maybe with the exception of Derrick Rose but I think he’ll have a good enough career.
There’s a reason why Lebron would make more money playing in NY than Cleveland or any other city. When Lebron played the Knicks this past year in NY when he put up the “triple double” …he debuted his NYC Lebron Zooms or whatever their called….he got a cool 1.5 mill from Nike for that.
That’s what people are talking about when they say….“for a superstar, there’s no place like NY to not only play in….but to win in.”
If Lebron comes here and wins…he’ll be bigger than Jordan.
Rubio and his camp are looking at it the same way.

Are you crazy?
Love is better than Lee?
In what way?
Did he have better #’s than Lee?
Did he lead the league in double doubles?
Was he asked to play with Team USA?
GTFOH!!! LOL

That’s what I’m talking about…some people are so delusional it’s sad. Be a realist….like I can sit here and say…we have no player better than Al Jefferson but when you say things like Love is better than Lee…it really shows the basketball knowledge here.

Get it together baby!!!

On that note. If Lebrons goal is to win an NBA title. Why on earth would he go to the knicks. The knicks are worse than cavs without Lebron and he can’t win a title where he’s at. If Amare is the final piece to the puzzle for anyone why have the Suns been trying for 2 years to get rid of him.

on the topic saw on AS.com that DKV has called a press conference to discuss Rubio’s future. Still wondereing why Kahn and Rubio themselves are silent on this

“why have the Knicks been generally so miserable for 35 years? "
We have 2 championships which is more than what I can say about the Wolves.
“Why is the current roster so dreadful?”
It’s called Scott Layden and Isiah Thomas
“Better yet, why aren’t NFL players flocking to play for the Jets and Giants for less money than they could get elsewhere?”
If I recall correctly…Eli Manning forced his way to NY.
“Why do the Yankees and Mets have to overpay for their free agents and trades?”
Because there is no cap in baseball..compared to a soft cap in the NBA and a hard cap in the NFL.
“If Amare is the final piece to the puzzle for anyone why have the Suns been trying for 2 years to get rid of him.”
Because their in financial trouble just like a host of other teams in the league. It’s called cutting expenses which thank God the Knicks never have to worry about.
There’s a reason why we may be one of the bottom teams but we’re still the most valuable…..yes even more than the champion Lakers LOL.
I will still not disrespect the Wolves organization because I’m not like that. I like a fair fight so if your going to insult me looking for a reply..you won’t get a negative one.
Love is not better than Lee period. You can sit here and talk about all the minutes Lee plays if you want.

it doesn’t matter because we will not trade for him. Have you looked at our roster? We have 18 million power forwards, why on earth would we trade for one more, unsigned at that, who has no trade value. You may not say it, I will god bless the Twolves, but they have the worst luck in the history of pro sports. This team has made a living off of bad choices. It has turned it into an artform all its own. Its why I don’t like the keep Rubio in spain, be bad and get awesome draft picks. Its the wolves folks. In a two player draft we are doomed to get the third best pick. I love me, though I feel like a sadomasochist for saying that

I love them rather lol

If you take Lebron off the Cavs….that gives you a starting line up of
Mo Williams
Delonte West
JJ Hickson
Anderson V
Dr. Z

Bench is
Boobie Gibson and Jawad Williams?
That line up will scare anybody lol.

Oh I get it…you think now that they have Shaq, Leon Powe and Anthony Parker that they are in a better space now huh?

I see what your saying now………….

I would take that starting five over the knicks,the point is he won’t win a title in either location

probably would take that starting 5..it’s because you have a bias right now. You don’t want to admit your wrong about what you said.
Cleveland has no young players to keep Lebron.
They are trying to win now!!!
That Cavs team without Lebron is not better than the Knicks.
If it was…I would say it.
I’m not getting paid anything to sit here and defend one team over another.
I’m just having a friendly debate with you over the facts.
Lebron is leaving in my opinion…I’m sure he’ll get asked the question alot when he’s out here for the Yankee playoff games this October like he is every year. We even have a luxory box made especially for him lol.
Rubio is just another young piece…Lebron is the big fish!!!
I would be more than happy if you guys kept Rubio (even though you won’t see him for 6 years) and we got Lebron in 9 months lol.
Kevin Mchale is probably laughing his you know what off right now at this guy Kahn.
Oh by the way…next years draft will not be better than this last draft…this last draft was weak and the upcoming one…with the exception of John Wall is terrible.

You make valid points, but on the note of money a poster on the DKV forums pointed out that even after the buyout money is paid from his contract he would get paid 400k more to play for the wolves than barcelona, which is why this story makes no sense. There is something amiss here. I like Ricky, but I’m getting really tired of this and Kahn has basically destroyed the goodwill he had built up over the first few months of his tenure. He will hear after every game what he could have had, had he drafted someone else. There were so many options for him. This is the stuff that doomed Mchale.

It’s not silly if you know the rules of the CBA.
First…we would sign Lee and Nate to one year deals (not the qualifying offer)…this way we can trade them without getting their permission….then we would send them to you and you can either keep one, both or trade both. My guess is you would probably trade one of them.

I have a question…..
Who are you?
LMAO

I like Al Jefferson but he’s coming off a surgery that is very dangerous. Make sure Rambis watches his minutes or his season will be over before it even begins but again I stress…he is one of the best big men in the league by far. Plus he has my last name so that’s a plus.

You guys place Rubio so high like he’s done something. He hasn’t done anything yet and you think a team is going to trade you all star talent for him?
Rubio is a project just like any other rookie.
The sooner Kahn realizes this the sooner he’ll understand that he needs to get something for this kid now while he can.
What happens if Rubio gets hurt?
Or better yet…what happens if Rubio doesn’t sign any contract….sits out 1 year and re enters the draft next year?
You guys do know he can do that right?
He doesn’t have to play this year at all and he can just re enter the draft next year looking for a better team to go to with a better market.
It doesn’t have to be the Knicks guys…it could be any team.
I don’t care if he’s a Knick or not….the point is…Kahn is making your organization look pretty bad here and I think it’s his responsibility to the hard working people that pay their money to come see the Wolves play to do the best you can do.

Remember…no beef guys….just veggies!!!

“So we are leasing two players we don’t need for 12 months for the draft rights to one of the best non-US point guards in the world.”

You forgot to add…he doesn’t want to play for the Wolves and he will stay in Barcelona until Kahn either realizes this, gets fired or his contract runs out.

Sad thing is…if Kahn were to leave Minn…I could see Walsh looking out for him and giving him a job here. That would be awful and I wouldn’t dare show my face back here for fear you guys would tear me a new one lol.

“Well he still has two years of his current deal to go. So unless he finds $8 millon lying around, pays out the contract, remains unemployed for 12 months, he can’t do it.”

If Rubio sits out from playing this year…he can re enter the draft and start this process all over again.
He’ll have only 1 year left for his current team and that’s much easier to work out than this 2 years stuff.
The point is…Minn would lose his rights and he would be free.
I’m not saying he would come to the Knicks but he won’t be in Minn.

will not play for the Wolves.
He would have to get out of his contract with his current team then sit out a year.
I can understand you holding on to hope that this kid will actually come play for you but it’s not looking good.
Like I said…we have bigger fish to fry (Lebron)…Rubio is just the icing on the cake.
He could stay in Spain forever for all I care lol.

A source with knowledge of the situation has informed me that there is a 5pm press conference to be held in Barcelona a sure sign that Ricky Rubio will sign a six-year contract with FC Regal Barcelona.

If the Knicks are going to make any moves at the 11th hour, the clock is ticking, but it would appear that Rubio will be playing overseas for the next two years, much to the chagrin of David Stern and for those Knick fans who think Rubio is the perfect quarterback for Mike D’Antoni’s system.

5PM today.

This is going to look really bad for Kahn.
A player he drafted with his #1 pick is going to be at a press conference to introduce himself to another team.
Damn Kahn..and to think you had the world by the balls.
4 first round picks!!!!! FOUR!!!!!
He could’ve set your future on draft night.
Draft Flynn, Derozan and whoever else to go along with Jeferson and Love.
I still believe the Wolves are headed in the right direction…this was just a little setback. They should be ok.

That’s you guys problems…your always looking for quotes.
Quote this
Send me the link
blah blah blah lol

Sometimes..the answers are right under your nose.

Well there is a press conference I’ve seen that. Not sure Rubio will be at it, isn’t he with the spanish team. Someone more fluent in spanish can go to his twitter page and he tells you his day there. it was posted a short while ago. Seems odd that in all of this we have
Wolves = silence
Ricky = silence

Makes me think nothing has been decided.

Also find it curious that the pioneeer press has not reported this story at all. At least on thier website. I’m in michigan and don’t have the print edition.

all this tells me the news of the deal with barca did not leak from the wolves. That is not a sourse or the local papers would have been all over it first.

For the record there were people on the DKV forums who agree with you. They point out with taxes and such he would still make more money this year with the wolves. The forums there indicated that DKV would accept either the wolves or Barcelona’s offer. Meaning the choice was ricky’s. Maybe the story leaked for force ricky to decide. Mabye he is not ready to leave home. Perhaps the bigger question is Will Kahn still have his job when Ricky arrives.

Now you guys have to go through what Orlando is going through with Fran Vasquez. Remember him? He was drafted in 2005 and he has yet to come over yet.
You have to understand….these guys are not college players.
They don’t need the NBA…they just want to play here.
If they can’t…I’m sure they’ll be happy MAKING MILLIONS playing overseas.
Rubio doesn’t need Minn….Minn needs Rubio.
What’s the use of having a players draft rights if he’s never going to play for you?

What is Nate expecting?
Right now he has the qualifying offer on the table which we can’t take back until October 1st.

Teams did not offer Lee a contract this summer because
A) only a handful of teams had money to spend
B) why offer a player a contract when you know the Knicks are going to match it?

I thought you guys knew this stuff already…why are you asking?

He is a fraud and if this accounting is correct then if I were the wolves I would file suit against fagan and Ricky for this seems to have been calculated from the begining

Now I know why Kahn hasn’t replied, its because he is strangling Fagan right now for not being honest with him

How do you figure Lee would come alot cheaper than Millsap?
Don’t get me wrong..I think Lee is asking for way to much money which is why we haven’t resigned him yet but to say he’s cheaper than Millsap is crazy.
He only led the league in double doubles…he was only top 5 in FG%…top 5 in rebounds…don’t have me go on.
Lee needs to improve on his defense and that’s it.

My understanding is that Fagan has reps in both spain and here.

either way Rubio now has a lot of people screaming at him. Kahn and possibly his own agent. If you can find evidence this is orchestrated then Rubio and his father could face a lawsuit for fraud by misrepresenting thier intentions to Kahn, the NBA, and possibly to his own agent.

Why the insults brother?
Let’s just talk…no need for name calling.

Now..you say 10 mill is Millsap money. How much did Millsap sign for?
It wasn’t for 10 million lol.

Can you even find me anyone that got paid 10 million this offseason?
Artest signed for half of that and he’s twice the player Millsap is.
As is Lamar Odom..he didn’t even get 10 million. So what are you sayiing?
This is all Lee’s agent!! He’s trying to get his client the best deal possible.
In the end…we will probably sign Lee to a 1 year 7-8 million dollar deal which also enables us to trade him during the season.
In this economy…nobody is getting 10 million per…especially when only 5-6 teams were under the cap coming into this offseason and especially with all the high level talent that will be available next year.
Do you think Minn will come away with one of the high tier free agents next summer?

You better hope you guys end up in the top 10 next year as far as the draft is concerned because the Clippers have your pick if you don’t lol.

Plus you guys get Utahs first round pick next year but it’s top 17 protected.

So you guys can actually not have any picks next year if things don’t go right and with the lottery…you never know lol.

Hoopshype is saying that as of this morning the wolves were still now trying to convince rubio to join them and rubio instead wants to go to Barcelona. I am wondering if there is more poker being played here.

it would at least explain why we still haven’t heard from the wolves or rubio

Jesus bro….why don’t you say he got most of his money up front in his deal.
How much will his average be per year?
The year after he does down to 6 million.
Come on man….you have to try harder than that.

http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/news/david_kahn_statement_on_ricky_rubio_090901.html

So they reached a buyout agreement and Ricky decided to stay in Spain? I know he is 18, but one of the reasons why I was sold on Rubio was the poise he had in the Olympic games. Stringing Kahn along and then backing out after an agreement was reached makes me reevaluate.

Talk about smoke screens!!
This 18 year old has your entire organization eating out the palm of his hands lol.

Oh well….on to Ramon Sessions for the Knicks.

Rubio was told a deal was reached with the Wolves and he said….trade me to Barcelona!!!!

Damn homey…..the Wolves should at least show some sense of pride.
The kid pretty much spit in your face and Kahn just sits there and says…“it’s ok..we’ll wait for him”

Disgusting!!!

I don’t care of Rubio is a Knick or not.
It’s just fun coming here and seeing the reaction of the fans when this kid keeps insulting you by not showing any signs of wanting to play in Minn.

I told you…Rubio can say all the right things in public but you see what his final decision was….it wasn’t to come play for Minn.

My argument is that he will never play for Minn.
Until that happens….I am right.

Is the thought of another foreign team stepping in and offeriing him the fleet in two years. If Josh Childress can get 5 million a year in Europe….imagine what Rubio’s worth will be in 2011.

No one ever listens to the guy who wants Kahn to be fired. I’ve been saying since they drafted Rubio that he wouldn’t be in a Wolves uniform any time soon. There was never a way around the buyout.

I’ve also said that I think Rubio staying in Europe for a few more years is a good thing. It will give him a chance to play more and the Wolves will have a better idea what they have in two years.

People need to stop panicking and look at the big picture. I agree with Kahn. The Wolves are in a situation where they can wait. So let’s stop the Knicks talk, because they have nothing to offer. The Wolves have been terrible for a long time and we’ve been patient, so why not continue to be with Rubio? Hi Tim Allen.
http://firedavidkahn.wordpress.com/

If he does come in 2 years, he needs to be in a fair competition with J-Fly now.

No way you can hand the job to Ricky after Flynn puts in the work over the next couple seasons unless he earns it. Wouldn’t sit well with Flynn or the rest of the team.

To answer your question….0.

you should be asking is…how many pg’s will use Flynn as a defensive liability?
The guy will not be able to guard anybody next year.
Good luck!!!

going anywhere anytime soon. So you might as well get used to me.
I’m going to teach you Minn fans something about basketball if it’s the last thing I do.
Rule #1…never believe what the media says and only half of what the players say.

The New York Daily News that said there was a possible option to send Rubio to NY with expirings for David Lee? The best part is that the author said it actually made sense. This was his reasoning: Because the Knicks are enamored with Rubio and Lee wants a longer term contract… How does that make sense?! How about the Wolves don’t want to trade Rubio, don’t want David Lee, and don’t want to give someone like Lee a long-term contract?
