If there is an NBA lockout that permits a season from happening, Nikola Pekovic won't be sitting around in Minnesota, he'll be playing basketball in Europe. Pekovic agreed to a contract with Partizan Belgrade, a team in Serbia, that has an out clause that allows him to go back to the United States when the lockout ends.
There have been reports that Ricky Rubio would be interested in doing a similar deal. This would make a lot of sense and give Rubio the chance to be at home a little bit longer if there is a lockout. Personally, I think he should come to the United States as soon as possible and start training with NBA trainers and stop playing European basketball. He's been playing games year round since he was 14, he doesn't need to play a few more games to be ready for the NBA. Let him work on parts of his game alone so that he can be as ready as he possibly can.
