Rubio to stay in Spain for two more seasons - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

The Minnesota Timberwolves and the NBA will have to wait until 2011 for Ricky Rubio(notes) to leave Europe, a high-level source told Yahoo Sports on Monday night.

Regal of Barcelona has agreed to a six-year contract with Rubio after working out a buyout package with DKV Jovenut of Spain on Monday.

After weeks of haggling, Minnesota Timberwolves GM David Kahn was unable to facilitate a buyout that would?ve brought the fifth pick in the 2009 draft to the NBA this season.

Well, at least now it makes sense why they took 2 PG's.

Was this a surprise to anyone? I saw an interview with this kid after the draft and he was such a cunt. Don't know what Minnesota was thinking when they drafted him.

Well at this point the draft pick is a sunk cost. If I ran the T-Wolves I'd just sit on his rights. He either wants to play in the NBA or he doesn't.
