Ricky Rubio seeking 10 million dollar contract

[YourMajesty]

but Minny drafted him to be the future of the franchise... so you pay the man, or you pack up and go.

What has he shown to deserve franchise player money? He has been a flop so far

We've been talking about this for awhile but what makes this kids agent think he should be paid 10 mill a year? What would you pay him?


I'd let him walk if I couldn't trade him and trade Kevin love fire the coach and just rebuild.

Rebuild? How? Them KG years got nikkas thinking players actually want to be in Minnesota.

Thru the draft.

Thru the draft.

And then what when they ask for an inflated salary for staying in Minnesota? You back where you are right now.

The cost of being a small market team.

This can not be true.

@Malta wasn't saying it. I was just CC'ing him for hilarity purposes.

Post-knee surgery, I wouldn't say he's been a flop. But I agree that he's been disappointing. The idea is that you have to have an elite talent to build a franchise around, to get fans to show up, to garner any kind of support financially.

(I'm assuming Love is leaving in this scenario) And Rubio is your only shot at that. If that babyface, Uno Direccion looking muthafukka can't put it together, or you're willing to trade him... just pack up the arena and move the team to Kansas City.

Rubio is an upper echelon passer, he's hyper creative with the ball in his hands... the problem is, you don't have to worry about him scoring, and that definitively limits his ability to create. If he can't develop a jumper (because he'll likely never be able to finish consistently around the hoop) they're in a bad spot.

Only the TImberwolves could find a Euro with no jumpshot.

What have any of them shown, including #42?

If you can't answer the question, I leave you with this in mind: after Ricky they're not getting another one.

Rubio should go to the Spurs. Popovich could set him straight...

So it's basically overpay rubio for being something he's shown absolutely zero signs of being (a franchise player) or just end the franchise completely?? ... What's so uniquely special bout minny that they're forced at gunpoint to over pay a bust? Seriously asking. ..cause that's unfortunate
