Many people mocked the Minnesota Timberwolves when they picked Ricky Rubio last year. Those people will probably continue to mock the Minnesota Timberwolves after this piece of news.
Ricky Rubio Won’t Play In NBA Until 2011/12
According to the Associated Press, Rubio will not play in the NBA until the 2011/12 season at the earliest.
Ricky Rubio is promising NBA fans they’ll get to see his razzle-dazzle, but not before the 2011-12 season -- and not necessarily with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Rubio’s waiting for his contract with Spanish team Barcelona to run out, which is understandable. But - get this - he still manages to act like he’s the franchise player of the team.
The 19-year-old Spaniard will stick by the Timberwolves, but expects improvements.
He is also “open to everything,” like playing for another team should a trade deal come along that Minnesota finds hard to pass up.
Here’s a piece of advice, kid. Play for the NBA team, then start making demands.
