A nice summation

Some Spanish site is reporting that Rubio lawyers have made an offer of about 3$ million.

This is pretty fresh: http://www.3cat24.cat/noticia/394343/ba ... -llibertat

Rubio is offering $3 million (about 2.15 million euros) to Joventut to get out of his contract.

They also say that Joventut is waiting for bigger offers, but that contrary to what had been published, Real Madrid hasn't offered anything. F.C.Barcelona wouldn't have made any bid, but they say Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, the super-rich Greek powers, might be interested.

They claim the offer would be "a la baja" which basically would mean they are willing to pay something more waiting for an answer from Joventut.

They also said this $3 million offer is the second offer after a $4 million offer was originally rejected prior to the draft. At that time Jovenut maintained it would not negotiate until Rubio dropped his lawsuit against the team. Rubio has yet to drop the lawsuit.

he may not drop the lawsuit, but he certainly could make statements he's returning to the team.

As said before his lawyers have offered $3 millions. The article says that he wants to play for the Timberwolves ( they dont say sources, I guess it came from the some source that spoke about the $3millon offer).

It is ironic that they offered $4 millions before the draft so DKV could end losing some money if the accept, although I wonder that probably is settled at $4

Hmm. 3 million (over two years, hopefully), and the Wolves can pay 500,000. Sounds like a recipe for sooner rather than later.

Not that much ironic. At some point before the draft they thought Rubio would go higher, so they had more money to work with.

Anyway, I don't expect Joventut to settle for $3 million. That amount would make more sense next summer. And anyway, they don't lose anything waiting for a better option in the European market.

This will mean that since he'll likely play the same amount of years either way (to 38 at the latest), that he'll be missing out on at least 2 years of max contracts. If he doesn't come over this year, he'll be saving six million in buyouts but be losing 40 million in future money.


He would lose money if he came to the NBA now. That's a simple fact. Also, Rubio could get injured just like any other player.

I don't think Panathinaikos would want him. He would be the backup point guard or the third string point guard on Panathinaikos. Also, no chance in hell he would go there knowing that. Olympiacos on the other hand, I guarantee that if he is made available to them he will be playing with them for the next 2 years.

If Rubio had a buyout of $4 mil on draft night, he wouldn't have fallen to the fifth pick.

You're right, it looks like the most probable scenario. Actually, I think the buyout issue was way too overlooked by many media when projecting Rubio's position in the draft. Indeed, when the Wolves traded for their second lottery pick I thought they were a likely destination for Rubio, considering they would be able to offer to the fans another elite rookie playing for the Wolves next season, something the other teams selecting in the top-10 weren't able to provide.

Made available as in Rubio buys out his contract and isn't playing for Joventut? How can you guarantee something like that? Oh wait, I forgot. You have an IQ of 197, so you basically have unlimited insight into Rubio's future. Get real. Your guarantees are completely unsubstantiated. Go jerk off to your Euro team.

What's with all the bashing on this guy? Seems unnecessary.

Yeah that was pretty unnecessary. Plus the 197 IQ thing is getting old.

BSPN was reporting the Rubio 3 million dollar buyout thing this morning. Does that make it less likely?

He can sleep on my couch. There's food in the fridge, so he should be alright there. And I can give him a ride to practice and games.
