1. play 2 years in spain
2. if not traded then sit out a year.


You realize that this is just some dudes blog right? It's so annoying that everything on the internet is considered proof. If he has demanded a trade, we would've heard about it. If he said he will not play in Minnesota, we would have heard about it. But there has been nothing at all that has been legitimately reported except for buy out issues.

EVERYTHING ELSE HAS COME FROM BLOGGERS AND MEDIA TURDS WITH NO CREDIBLE SOURCES.

I think the Rudy Fernandez situation played a role, he realized it could backfire if he pays a bunch of money for a buyout then he gets buried on the depth chart

The funny part about the blog is it was ripped off from the New York RealGM Team Forum from a couple days ago. It's not even an original work.

Rubio is playing for the TWolves next year, book it. This is all just a charade to get the buyout dropped...and no, Knicks homers, we don't want to trade him for Eddie Curry, Chris Duhon, and a magical bag of beans...

It took 14 years of garbage from McHale for him to get fired by David Kahn, why would Kahn get fired any time soon?

It's funny how the trolly types are all projecting their impatience onto us. We're Timberwolves fans. Some of us have stuck with this franchise for 20 years while only getting to see one better than decent team. We've seen the only face of the franchise get traded and win a ring the very next year. We watched McHale build 3 nucleuses (nuclei?) around him and then burn the franchise to the ground in desperation. We've watched Randy Foye, Bassy Telfair, Greg Buckner, Marko Jaric and Kevin Ollie man the PG spot for the last couple seasons. They don't think we can wait a couple years while Rubio plays out the string in Spain?

Hey Rev,

Did you ever hear back from Jerry Zgoda on the Rubio quote he used on an article he wrote a few days ago?

So like, the wiretap is just another unsubstantiated rumor?

I'm starting to get really pissed at these wiretaps they let through, it just causes more work for the moderators.

Totally agree. Not only that, but it seems to legitimize the rumor and then it snowballs from there.
Very aggravating.
