Why doesn't Rubio just ignore his contract and come over to play? If DK Jovenhut wants their blood money, let them pursue him in court, and then workout a payment arrangement. What's the big deal?

Because the NBA wouldn't let him play if he is under contract with another team. The NBA has an agreement with FIBA to honor international contracts so that teams can't just sign international players away from their teams.

That makes alot of sense. Thanks Kennon. I think Khan is doing a tremendous job so far. How about you? He's very meticulous about what need sto be done, and has a very clear vision as to the direction this team needs to follow. When I read we are going to be a running team, I got excited! No more walk it up, slow it down, half court, pass the ball into the black hole offense. We're going to be a young run and gun exciting team. Big Al and KLove better start running a LOT. Don'tget me wrong. I love Big Al. But we need to be way more diverse, instead of relying on the big guy every time down the floor. We need to start making shots. That will open things up down low and make Al's llife so much easier. As one of the worst shooting teams in the league last year, despite pounding the ball down low to Al, we needed these changes badly.
