Rubio Leaving Spanish Club

News sources are reporting that: “Ricky Rubio plans to part ways with Spanish basketball club DKV Joventut even if the Minnesota Timberwolves cannot reach a deal to bring their first round draft pick to the NBA.”  Rubio was quoted as saying: “”I want to continue with the club but, after everything that’s happened, I don’t think they’re too comfortable having me in their squad…I want to play in a winning team, on a team that can achieve many things.”

    Blaze: No, of course I don’t. No one in the NBA can slow Paul, Williams, or Wade. There are no more hayday Jason Kidds and Gary Paytons… Kobe doesn’t play on defense anymore, and the rest of the SUPREMELY TALENTED defenders in the league (outside of maybe Battier) are too slow to slow down super quick guards like that.
    Can Rubio slow down a Kirk Hinrich? A Flip Murray? A Mario Chalmers? A Mike Taylor?
    I say they get shut down.

    You sleeping on Flip.
    Not saying he’s a “good” player, but he cooks cats. Seriously.

    Allenp, get the f out of here. Really now.

    … I mean… we’re talking about the same Flip, right?

    I mean we talking about the same Rubio right?

    Of course not Y’Knot. You’ve never seen Rubio, so I assume you’d never talk about someone you have absolutely zero knowledge about, right?

    “Can Rubio slow down a Kirk Hinrich? A Flip Murray? A Mario Chalmers? A Mike Taylor?
    I say they get shut down.” Jukai fails as usual.

    Chalmers would be so high, he’d lose the ball 60 times to Rubio, Eboy. Just incase you were wondering.

    we wont know what rubio can do until he actually plays in the league i personnal think he wll find it hard for the 1st few years where ever he is, as the step up from euro ball to the nba is huge. Not having the luxury of living in the usa i have to watch euro ball and the most case it sucks
