Minnesota is just determined to stink in perpetuity.

They have Wiggins.....

Wiggins could be the next Jordan and Minnesota would still f it up.

I agree.....he was or is an interesting player....looks like Ringo Star .....sort of a media darling I think.....the Media WANT him to be great.

Rubio ...should be on the Lakers ....where he could rub elbows with the Hollywood elite jet set

He was decent as a Rookie talent......but since then ....I have seen little or no improvement in his total game.   He makes an occasional fancy pass that leads to an assist and he is praised as a basketball god.

Rondo makes 10 of Rubios best plays..every game.

Could have had Smart, Sullinger/Olynyk, and more instead of Wiggins.

Glen Taylor wasted most of Garnett’s prime without ever really giving him a supporting cast and never put anything close to a good team around Love.

Rubio. David Kahn, 4 year contract for Love, Joe Smith, longest current NBA playoff drought, etc.
Incompetence, thy name is Glen Taylor.

I know the anticipated salary cap increases with the new TV deal are going to change the status quo, but 14 million a year for Ricky Rubio?  You're still going to get yourself in trouble overpaying mid-level guys like that.

Mike

Totally agree. Rubio's a one-trick pony, and his trick isn't worth $14M a year.

What a ridiculous contract - no wonder Rondo wants a max deal.  If RR is worth approx 14 million a season, then RR must be worth at least double that. 

Even Kobe may now claim he's underpaid...!

horrible deal. would be almost unbelievable if it weren't minnesota doing it. rubio shot .381 last year, his pest percentage in an NBA season. that's $14M per year for a rich man's phil pressey:
rubio's career numbers, age 24, 3+ NBA seasons, 32 minutes a game: 10pts / 8 ast / 4 reb
pressey per 32 minutes, age 23, one NBA season: 6pts/6.5 ast/3 reb
and keep in mind pressey was playing spotty minutes on a really bad team.
horrible deal.

I think this deal officially makes Rubio a rich, stupid man's Phil Pressey. I thought this was a joke when I opened the thread.
