Mark Berman blogs and Marka.com (not Mark Berman's website) confirms discussions re Rubio for DLee + N8 via sign and trade next week...
"After Ricky Rubio skipped his introductory press conference with the Wolves, Marca.com says that discussions on a possible trade to send Rubio to the Knicks are under way. The report cites sign-and-trades of David Lee and Nate Robinson although such a deal could not be consummated until after the July moratorium is lifted.
Marca.com says it can confirm these negotiations to send Rubio to New York but there is no way to independently verify the report.
Marc Berman reports on the situation in his New York Post blog."
translated from Marka.com, Spain sports page (using freetranslation.com), somehow David Lee translates as David Read, Rubio as Blond.
"In these moments, Ricky Blond continues in New York negotiating an exit to its future. It has it clearly: will not play in Minnesota (left unmistakable signs the night of the 'Draft', as when they asked for its preferences and, while praised to Oklahoma or Sacrament, of Minnesota only said that did "a lot cold") and works to be gone. Where? That is the question.
According to sources close to the player and to the NBA, Minnesota already knew that Ricky would not play there when chose it. The fact of to have fallen to the number five authorized to the Wolves to choose a player with a great value in the market, with the one that to do a 'sign and trade' (to sign and to transfer) with another team for obtain a veteran player. With this option, the Catalonian player will have a lot that to say on his future.
The ideal setting is to do a transfer to New York. David Reads and Nate Robinson seem the most probable currencies of change
The ideal setting, and MARK.com can confirm that is being negotiated, is to do a transfer to New York. David Reads and Nate Robinson (both finish contract, but also we would be speaking of a situation of 'sign and trade') the most probable currencies of change seem. The Wolves have covered itself the backs in the position of base with the election of Jonny Flynn in the six, so an 'one' is not their priority. The statements of their 'general manager' David Kahn, in which said that its interest is to cause to play next to Flynn and to Ricky, they are not more than strategies of market. They have no sense basketball speaking.
A sample more than the divorce of Ricky with Minnesota is that Spanish will not be in the traditional press conference that the elections of the 'Draft' give in the city of origin of the franchise. Yes they will be there Jonny Flynn and Wayne Ellington, the other two first rounds of the Wolves, but not Ricky. Symptomatic.
Why to the five? Ricky, like he himself declared, he was very excited with going to Sacrament. He was the only franchise to which he visited and with the one that did a smooth one 'workout'. He why was not there? In the first place, some sources aim at that their I coach (individual, without companions) he was not of the all satisfactory, and they considered an option of risk their election.
First, by their financial instability: nobody knows what will happen with their clause, and during the afternoon previous to the 'Draft' various American lawyers, in representation of different franchises, they consulted expert Spanish lawyers in sports right on a possible responsibility civil subsidiary of the clubs NBA in a hypothetical suit between the player and the Penya.
And second, because its 'general manager', the veteran one Geoff Petrie (14 seasons in the charge), finishes contract this campaign. A type that has just done an acquisition of risk with the coach Paul Westphal could not be permitted that its number four went not to the NBA the following year, or gave economic problems, or... Its job was played and there were too many risks. And to Ricky they did him 'the Easter'.
Although Ricky and its environment they have spoken to return to Europe, their first objective continues being to play next year in the NBA
Objective NBA right now, although Ricky and its environment they have spoken to return to Europe (an evident option, and there will enter its situation with the Penya, the efforts that quieran to do for him the large European clubs. ..), the reality is that its first objective continues being to play next year in the NBA. And all their efforts of their agent Give Fegan they are centered in New York.
Its salary, a net approximate one of 2.200.000 euro by the two years guaranteed, is insufficient to pay a clause of 4.7 million euro that, it do not we forget, July 1 passes to be of 6 million. It has confirmed to MARK.com the own father of the player, Esteve, the agreement with the DKV Joventut is a possibility more than feasible, and the positions are more close. To where would descend the Penya? That is the question, but seems little probable that be down of the four million. A source very well informed figure its debt with Estate in six million.
Many things by closing: to obtain the pair to New York, to reduce the clause, to do that all square... And the limit is June 30, when its c?usula becomes (more) prohibitive. We will continue having 'soap Ricky', at least during some days. "
RR for DLee + N8:
could this happen, could it be true? is it worth it? opinions...
