Ricky Rubio - What?

— yougabsports.com — OK, how is it that an 18 year old Euro can hold an NBA team, and by... extension the NBA hostage?  I know, I know, 17 year old Kobe Bryant pulled the same crap 12 years ago, but damn, there are some differences.   Kobe Bryant truly was ready for prime time, Rubio isn't.  Rubio ...

Where Will Ricky Rubio Play Next Year?
Basketball Fiend — Ricky Rubio calls an audible. I’ve been reading all kinds of reports about Ricky Rubio this weekend. Frank Isola of the NY Daily News reports that the Rockets offered the Timberwolves Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks in exchange for Rubio. Minnesota reportedly declined the offer. Which means the Knicks have little hope of securing Rubio, given that their leading offer so far is Wilson Chandler. That doesn’t stop NYPost.com from speculating that the Knicks are ...

Rubio's Value Is Actually Increasing
We're Off To See The Willards — ... fallen all the way to pick #5. Now, with his "I may go back to Spain if I'm not happy" attitude, his value is somehow increasing. I may have been wrong to be so happy about not being in position to draft Rubio... When Rubio fell to pick #5, he became more valuable than the predraft #5 pick. That means if the Wizards didn't get excited trade the pick before the draft, they could have had more options for trades, and an overall better position than they could imagine. According to the New York Daily News , the Rockets offered Aaron Brooks & Shane Battier to the Timberwolves for ...

The Fundamentals
BallerBlogger.com — ... Frank Isola of the Daily News:  “Ricky Rubio was reportedly in Minnesota this weekend to meet with Wolves GM David Kahn, whose decision to draft the Spanish guard is looking better by the minute. Mitch Lawrence in Sunday’s Daily News reported that the Wolves turned down a deal with the Houston Rockets that would have resulted in Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier headed to Minnesota for Rubio. If the Wolves are receiving those types of offers—Brooks and Battier were starters on a playoff team - do the Knicks really have much of a chance to get Rubio? ...

Ricky Rubio Stateside?
My Sports Rumors — ... The NY Daily News reports that after the draft the team was offered Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier from the Houston Rockets for Rubio. That’s a remarkable offer, two starters for a prospect. One it tells you how highly NBA scouts think of this kid. On the flip side it also tells you how much Taylor loves the kid. ...

Morey Must Work His Magic for Rockets
The Baseline — ... As I suggested yesterday, maybe now's the time for Morey to really get busy. It's ironic that, so far, the only proactive move we've seen (or heard rumors of) him make was Brooks and signature player Shane Battier for Ricky Rubio. Was that for real? No idea. But it certainly would've marked both an aggressive move in a new direction, as well as a surprising turn away from Battier, so closely linked with Morey's philosophy that it was worth an entire ...
