New York Post on Rubio E-mail
Written by SG   
Sunday, 28 June 2009 19:19
A representative for Ricky Rubio's agency in Spain told The Post yesterday the 18-year-old flamboyant point-guard phenom is receiving offers this weekend to play for a club in Turkey and Real Madrid, which would decrease the likelihood of him playing in the NBA next season.

Meanwhile, Knicks team president Donnie Walsh spoke to Timberwolves general manager David Kahn yesterday. According to a source, Kahn's being patient and is not interested in talking trade yet and is "trying to keep him."




I've read what's being implied -- Kahn owes Walsh, that's why he'll come through for the Knicks. Walsh gave Kahn his NBA start in the Pacers front office. Walsh strongly recommended Kahn for the job as T'wolves president.

Also, Rubio, through agent Dan Fegan, is making a very real threat to play in Europe for the next season or two if his resolve to play in New York isn't accommodated.

This merely seems like 16 tons of pressure. It's actually weightless. No way does Kahn capitulate. I suspect he can conjure up a more subtle way to show his gratitude than repay Walsh with Rubio. That would be tantamount to sleeping with your ex-wife. That would be like begging to get fired.



RICKY Rubio hasn't even played his first NBA game yet, but the Spanish hoops star is already getting a taste of the good life. Sources say Armani dressed the 18-year-old player for Thursday night's draft, where the Minnesota Timberwolves snagged the talented point guard as the team's No. 5 pick. Afteward, financier Jonathan Blue, chairman of Best sports agency, took Rubio and other draftees Earl Clark and Jrue Holiday to Buddakan for dinner. "Ricky looked like a CEO himself," our witness noted. Later, Rubio was spotted at M2 lounge on West 28th Street, where he was "sipping water and chatting with [R&B songstress] Brandy." But Rubio's fellow draft pick, Blake Griffin, left the club after bouncers told the 20-year-old he would not be served alcohol.
