Interesting article about Rubio

the vibe I'm getting from this article: Rubio has struggled on offense in Euroleague and WC, although he may improve in a wider court and it's mostly because he is too unselfish (which could be nice, but also concerning), but he's no longer 14 so he should be producing.
Red flags: family doesn't want to come to Minnesota prefers east coast, and claims they don't mind waiting ANOTHER year. The article suggests the new CBA may force Rubios hand (but is that ever the way you want a player to come over).
so...according to this article we may never get Rubio, and if we do he may not be ready to help us as much as we need and maybe need time to develop, which is concerning because with Beasley, Love, Darko and Webster it would be nice to start moving forwards with this group rather than stagnating.
thoughts?
