Rubio Still Not Interested In Playing For Minnesota


Recommended Posts

The Timberwolves are working towards bringing Ricky Rubio to the NBA, but rumors continue to swirl that the guard doesn't want to play for the team.

 

"The bottom line is, why would he want to play in Minnesota?" a senior member of Rubio's camp told Jonathan Givony in a piece for the New York Times.

 

"He'll continue to say all the diplomatic things, and Minnesota needs to keep his value up for trade purposes, but the family's preference is to be on the East Coast, specifically New York, Miami or Boston. He wouldn't be troubled if he has to stay another year."

 

The Timberwolves hold his exclusive draft rights, meaning they are the only NBA team with whom he can negotiate.

 

A new collective bargaining agreement may not be as favorable for rookies.

 

"I'm not focused on the NBA right now," Rubio said. "Right now, I don't want to talk and I don't want to think."

With the league filled with young star PG's such as Rose, Rondo, Wall, Westbrook, and Curry, I don't give a [expletive] about this guy anymore. Tired of all his drama.

 

But this is from the New York Times, and we all know how much credibility they have. They think everyone wants to play there.
