Rubio is a goner (eye roll) 

Post#1 » by funkatron101 » Fri Jul 2, 2010 8:26 pm

NY fans have convinced themselves that the only way for Minnesota to get Lee is to S&T Lee with Al and Rubio going to the Knicks.

So sorry guys, it looks like Rubio won't play for the Wolves afterall.

Yea they were discussing it yesterday as well, so pathetic. It amazes me how many Knick fans say Rubio doesn't want to play here.

The only thing worse in sports (all sports) than a New York fan, is the New York media. A close third is Chicago sports fans and media...
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

We're not going to trade arguably our best player and Rubio our most valuable asset for David freaking Lee. Lee is not a bad player by any stretch, but come on. I've come to terms with us likely not getting fair value for Big Al, but this is sub-zero value.

Even thow I think Daved Kahn is and idiot their is 0% of that happing.Daved Kahn would trade everyone on the team,firer Rambis,Steal Glen Taylors money and trade his own mother before he let's Rickie Rubio go.


Kahn has bet his future and the franchise on Rickie Rubio.

they wouldn't deal with New York, Toronto will get a trade exception to send Bosh to Miami and trade that plus Derozan for Jefferson and Brewer in a double trade. Then w/ the cap space we'll jack David Lee straight up. Sorry NY.

I was about to say Yankees fans give Knicks fans some competition for that title, but noticed you actually wrote NY fans before I pressed submit.

Haha, come on man...

I just stay away from the Knicks board all together. I get so pissed whenever I see those posters talk about how Rubio is a lock to play for their team.

lets be honest, rubio will never play in minnesota ... he went from 'i want to play in the nba, i'm willing to pay my own buyout' to 'i'm staying overseas'


yup and I think it's not too far fetched ifLebron doesn't come here.

Rubio for Lee is no joke. Otherwise they don't get Lee.

We do not deserve any truly good players. It is selfish of us to waste any meaningful player's talents in Minnesota. New York deserves good players and we do not. Everyone knows this.

Are New Yorkers born with this sense of entitlement or are they just raised that way?

Raised. I moved to Minnesota and found that not everything is better in NY.

That there is a general consensus that the only way for the Wolves to get David Lee is to trade Rubio to the Knicks.

Which makes no sense.
