If you let me to say what i think about this... :
The problem about Ricky Rubio are this : his buyout and his agent.
His agent wants the best for him and Ricky , of course , that's the reason why he wants to go to a "big market". I understand it. Everybody should understand it. Or Ricky Rubio pays his buyout or... there's no Ricky Rubio in NBA.
But... should you make that staments where you don't make "friends" nowhere , where do you look like a diva. Man , be careful with what you wish for. Do you want Ricky in a big market? Well , do it , try at the best of the ways. Don't let him look like this. You're being a dick and a spoiled brat.
Call Minnesota and say : hey , he wants to be here , but we need to pay his buyout that's the reason why we want to go to NYK , Rockets , or wherever they want to go. Yeah , it seems "too easy". But look , at this moment , this is the best way. If don't... he will go back to Europe , and he still be taking bad decisions. This way to join the NBA is one of the worst. Hey , the kid doesn't have to be the most love player by the crowd , but at this moment , this kid is almost being hated by his own fans.
He could have be in Europe two years more , until 20 , good age to go to NBA , with buyout , but they wanted it now. Well , accept it. Don't go back. If you do , stop doing this. Minnesota say you they will wait for you. I don't want to use bad words... but , do you know what this people has done for you? What this people have done for you to join their team?
Things like this make hate agents more than ever. Soccer , basketball agents , always the same.
The other thing , the most funniest thing i'm reading in NBA Forums , english and spanish forums is his statement about the cold. Yeah , agent or his opinion. Let me say this : Or you say ALL (worse) , or you say NOTHING. This is a phrase like... "It's cold , and i would prefer to have the New York cold than Minnesota cold because i don't "know"(actually , he doesn't know about NY too because he have been never over there , but i hope you get my point) nothing Minnesota. And i hope you all people understand this. The kid is 18. Yeah , talk about how adult he is playing basketball or whatever. But the kid is 18. The kid will be in another country than is like a world. Europe. America. Tell me you are in a different country , and you don't choose to be in the capital cities.
Well , thank you if you read all this message
