Ricky Rubio Coming or Not Coming? Here's Why He had to Sign

No fear everyone, Ricky Rubio indeed is going to be a Minnesota Timberwolf. There have been multiple reports that he already signed his contract to be with the Wolves. Rubio's Spanish club won the ACB championship Tuesday, after which Rubio said:

"We are talking with Barcelona and we will soon see."

The media some how read this as Rubio saying that he didn't want to be a Wolf. All he was saying is that he needs to negotiate the buyout with his Spanish team.

Here's why you can put the kibosh on the speculation of him not signing. Rubio needs to sign with the Wolves because of the uncertain NBA future. He might not get as much money with his rookie deal and he also doesn't know if the new CBA will allow for the Wolves to help pay his buyout. Also, Rubio has been trying to force his way out of Minnesota ever since we drafted him, but his performance in the Spanish League has forced his stock to plummet. The Wolves would not get nearly as much in return for him, so it makes sense for them to roll the dice with him. Rubio better turn out to be a stud because the future of the Wolves depends on it. Also, David Kahn's future depends on the success of Rubio. If Rubio is great and the Wolves make the playoffs in a year or two, Kahn will be hansomely rewarded. If not, he will definitely be fired.
