Ricky RubioAccording to the Spanish news Web site Marca.com, the father of new Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio may remain in Spain for a few more years rather than play in the NBA. According to Esteve Rubio, "Ahora mismo, es muy probable que Ricky se quede uno o dos años en Europa." Translated, it says, "Right now, it is probably that Ricky will remain one or two years in Europe."

"Tenemos que hablar con la gente de Minnesota ... y ver lo que pasa, porque, a estas horas, podemos estar en Minnesota o en otra parte", declaraba." Translated: "We are going to speak with the [staff] of Minnesota and see what's happening, because, in some hours, we may be in Minnesota or in another place."

Rubio has been rumored to be traded to the Knicks and the Timberwolves have a glut of point guards with Rubio, Jonny Flynn and Sebastian Telfair, so some change could be in store.
