    Another chapter in the "Moreygetherdone" file.

    I am sure Minnesota will posture, but having to wait another year, and having Rubio not sounding all the ethusiastic about Minney should make him somewhat more attainable.

    I haven't seen much of Rubio, but if Morey is interested then he must be pretty damn good.

    I think I have a drunken bet that when Rubio gets into the NBA he will have at least 1 season in which he averages over 5 assists per game.

    Sounds like a good oppurtunity, but I don't know if I want a player on this team with his attitude. Why doesn't he want to play in Minnesota? If that team was gracious enough to pick him up, he should do his job, not be picky about what team he's on.

    So if you're a bigman player who is about to be drafted by the Clippers, you should just pull down your pants and bend over?

    Who like Blake Griffin? Yes, you bend over, and be glad you are in the NBA. Hell, I'd be glad if I was in the NBA, no matter which team I'm on. Being picky is just like how Tmac wanted to leave Orlando. That attitute is supposedly not very welcome on here.

    To be fair to Rubio, he has everything going for him over in Europe. The whole nine yards. Why would he want to trade that in for a Kevin Garnet-like fate in the backwaters of Minnesota?

    No, and I am not anti Rubio, I just dont think that "damanding trades" and stuff isn't good.

    And that season will be when he is on a team with Dwade, LeBron, Bosh, and Joe Johnson (aka Rockets) Cause his job will ONLY be to distribute.

    [ESPN] Rubio will come, maybe not to T-wolves

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5252905

    I hope Morey gets him along with Big Al if the Bosh move doesnt go through... I wonder why he wants to face Shaq though...

    How about the Clippers. The T-wolves are a mess and they don't look like they're going to improve anytime soon. It just so happens that the T-wolves owe the Clippers a first round pick which will be unprotected in the 2012 draft...

    Its the most valuable owed pick in the NBA....

    He would be more useful if he learned how to shoot a basketball. Until then, he's another Dogus Balbay.

    Why would he want to move to Minny when he can just stay in Europe if its a better situation for him? Better pay, better environment, better lifestyle, people who actually speak his language, and a team that actually wins.

    Hes already got it made, the only reason he would want to move to the NBA would be for the 'prestige' and the challenge the nba presents.

    And really, theres not much prestige about playing in the NBA anymore.

    The NBA is a business and everyone in the NBA is just looking out for themselves. Don't pretend like its otherwise.

    It was pretty much a given he wasn't coming till next season but happy to have it confirmed so teams can start setting up their trading chips and Morey certainly has some tasty options to offer for RR.
