Ricky Rubio has told a Spanish language newspaper that he plans to play for FC Barcelona in Spain next season.
Our View: Rubio claims he is staying in Europe because the T-Wolves are not allowed to pay his buyout, but who knows why he's really staying on the other side of the pond. Regardless, don't expect to see him in Minnesota for a long, long time.

Rubio will not play for Joventut
Source (fanball.com)
(PG - MIN) | 0 comments.
ESPN.com reports that Ricky Rubio will not play for DKV Joventut next season, regardless if he reaches a buyout with his current club. His buyout is for $8.2 million, and the Timberwolves, who own his NBA rights, can only contribute $500,000 to that amount. Rubio has made less than $500,000 in salary over the last two seasons. "I want to continue with the club but, after everything that's happened, I don't think they're too comfortable having me in their squad," Rubio said Wednesday. "I want to play in a winning team, on a team that can achieve many things."
Our View: This doesn't have much effect on his status with the Timberwolves. It could mean that another European team could sign him by paying his full buyout amount for next season while also paying him a more respectable salary.

The multi-million dollar buyout that Ricky Rubio would have to pay to his Spanish league team, DKV Joventut, could become a lot more doable should Rubio opt to take on a plethora of potential endorsement opportunities, according to SLAM! Sports.
Our View: It remains to be seen how Rubio and his camp will handle his current situation and whether or not he'll be playing in the NBA next year, although Timberwolves president David Kahn definitely seems quite motivated to try and make things work with Minnesota. Only time will tell how this all plays out.

The only thing keeping Ricky Rubio from joining the Minnesota Timberwolves right now is a multimillion-dollar buyout from his professional contract in Spain. The price tag could reach as high as $6.6 million. That's enough to make any 18-year-old think twice about chasing his dream of playing in the NBA.

Ricky Rubio's DKV Joventut Spanish team could trade the 18-year-old point guard to a different Spanish team this offseason, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Our View: There is no indication yet of how this might affect Rubio's decision to stay in Europe next season, but the Timberwolves are surely hoping it compels him to come stateside and become the NBA's youngest point guard in 2009-10. Stay tuned.
