NJNJ Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 http://www.mnsportsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ricky-rubio-minnesota-draft.jpg Timberwolves general manager David Kahn insists that the team doesn't plan to trade the rights to point guard Ricky Rubio."I felt then, as I feel now, (drafting Rubio) was the best thing for us to do in terms of our long-term future," Kahn told HoopsWorld. "The only other choice that could have been made, I felt, at that moment... well, there were two others. We could have done Stephen Curry, and we were considering DeMar DeRozan. Stephen, as you know, was also a point guard, so there was sort of the same issue there. DeMar is a wing who I think has a lot of talent and a really bright future, but at the end of the day I really felt that for our future Rubio was the best pick. And I knew that he probably wasn't going to come right away. I was told that morning that it was going to be at least a year. Even with the wait, we thought it was the best thing for us to do. I surely do feel the same way today." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGuy Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I don't think Rubio will be coming over anytime soon, especially with how the Wolves have been playing this season. He'll probably stay in Europe for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy j Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 As much as I like Flynn, I'm still thinking we need to bring Rubio over here. Unless we see Flynn absolutely take off over the next year and a half, I think running the risk of trading this kid could be a major mistake. All the potential he has could really come out in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
