If You’re a Rubio Fan, Root for the Wolves Tonight
“…Kahn has remained coy with his strategy if he does wind up with that pick. Rubio, who played wonderfully for FC Barcelona in the European championship, still has another year in his contract before he can leave for the NBA and, though Kahn believes Rubio will one day play for Minnesota, there is great speculation that he will be eventually traded and one likely destination is New York. If the Wolves can get Wall, Kahn will have good reason to move Rubio and, according to multiple sources, the Knicks will make every effort to work out a deal.
Another intriguing situation would be if the New Orleans Hornets, who are in the 11th spot in the lottery, somehow come up with a stunning win. They already have Chris Paul and rookie Darren Collison. Would they choose Evan Turner instead? Would they consider dealing Paul and select Wall, whose salary will be far more affordable over the first five years of his contract? If it’s the latter, you can expect the Knicks to jump all over the chance to talk to the Hornets about a deal for Paul…”
I’ve obviously always been of the notion that the team would end up with Rubio. I’m starting to believe, based on the more people with ties to the organization I talk to, that they didn’t move up in the draft for Rubio or Steph Curry because of cap space. And that they knew there was a chance they were going to have to deal that 3 million for cap space. Sure, that’s kind of a conspiracy theory, but think about it every single move Walsh has made has been about cap space. Sure, they brought in Toney Douglas, but that’s only 1 million on the cap for next year. And he’s good.
We’ll see if the Knicks have what it takes to land Rubio, who has stated his intentions of staying overseas having just won a championship…with Walsh in attendence…but it could go a long way in having him be available if the Wolves were to win the lottery.
