Yea but i thought you were fed up with Donnie not making any moves. And at the rate he was going we were going to have nobody for 2010.. Not saying this deal is going to happen, but wouldn't it mean that patience and not rushing into any deal is actually the perfect strategy for the Knicks?
I don't know but i'm thinking Rubio would be a better pickup then Sessions or the many other players most of the posters have pined over.

Agreed. I realize I have been impatient and have stated this numerous times. Just frustrated I guess. If Donnie does get this done I will shut up about Donnie not making moves.

Just so you guys know - the realgm writer of this article has zero credibility and is using pure speculation to build an argument for the knicks/rubio marriage.
He is also only 16 years old and and u can see him by clicking on the link. He is to the left of JJ reddick
In other words - I won't get my hopes up.

Thanks for the reality check.
*sighs*
The real reason we haven't signed Sessions or anybody else is salary cap for 2010. If Donnie can't move Jeffries or Curry he won't make an offer to Sessions.

Not true! Alan Hahn just shot the rumor down on Twitter, and no offense to Real GM, but there inside source is probably the equipment manager at MSG.
Damn, I (as most of us have) have been monitoring this situation with the hopes we could snag him, it just doesnt look like we have the resources.
Nate, Wison and our 2012 pick might get them to budge. Of course that means Nate has to agree to a sign and trade to Minny.
I mean never say never, Walsh and Kahn know each other well, I would imagine he would at least listen to any offer Donnie proposes.
If only Minny had drafted Curry and Flynn, I think G-State wouldve passed on Rubio for Hill simply because of the contract issue with Rubio.

Totally agree with your last statement. And if this were true, it would have made total sense because of the fact that we have not gotten sessions.
Man, i'm just waiting for us to do something. I just want us to sign sessions, resign lee and nate and be done with already. This waiting is making me nervous....

Amazing the stir you get when a 16-year old kid is allowed to post whatever he wants.....it doesnt make sense (at least to me) to trade Chandler for Rubio....
Chandler and Sessions > Rubio
And Chandler would just be the starting point....the Knicks would have to offer more than that. It doesn't make sense for the Knicks to do it.

Why do you think Rubio is worth so much? He went 5th overall in the draft, he has flaws in his game.

I suppose you're right getting Sessions and keeping Chandler is better than having Rubio. My only reason to want to move Chandler is that it really makes no sense to have him and Galo. I guess Chandler can play the SG and Galo the 4, but SF is both of their best postions
Rubio only went 5th because of his contract. Rubio likely wouldve been number 2 had he not had the contract issue. He is wort so much because he is a playmaking PG in the mold of Nash (minus the jumper) who would flourish under Dantoni.

He only went 5th overall because of his buyout problem...he probably would've been 2nd if it weren't for that.

he'll be worth less and less as time passes. In a couple of years he will come thru free agency or may be worth a mid-round pick.

Apparently via RealGM he signed to Regal Barcelona for 6 years with a reasonable buyout after 2011....
I disagree. I think his value will increase. He will become a better player the next two years and will still have to play for the rookie contract when he gets to the NBA. The T'Wolves weren't making the playoffs this year anyways, so they can handle letting him play on Europe.
''Ricky Rubio may not have officially signed with Regal Barcelona yet.
Rubio could still play in Spain rather than the NBA next season, but reports out of the country on Wednesday may have been overstated, according to league sources.
"Ricky Rubio hasn't signed anything. Joventut hasn't accepted anything. It's not over yet," the source told ESPN.com.
The Spanish newspaper Marca said Regal FC Barcelona had agreed to pay Rubio's former team, DKV Joventut, $5.28 million U.S., for the rights to Rubio, who the Timberwolves took with the fifth overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
"Based on the information I have attained today, no team in any league has reached a deal with DKV Joventut concerning Ricky's buyout, which must be accomplished before Ricky is released from his contract with DKV Joventut," Minnesota general manager David Kahn said in a statement released by the team on Wednesday afternoon.''
