Ok, over the next week or so it's just going to be rumor central on this guy. We all know he doesn't really want to play in Minny. His agent doesn't want it too.
Let's keep this thread for any developments on Ricky Rubio since it seems the only two likely destinations right now are Spain or New York.
I'll keep the thread updated with the latest info as it comes in.
