It's official: Ricky Rubio will NOT play for Timberwolves

I forgot about him...but he doesn't count anyway, as he won't be in the league this season.

I hope not either - but if we trade his rights, then it won't matter as much (to me anyway)...but, I don't think that will happen as he was VERY good during the Olympics.

For now, yes, but not necessarily - if he comes to MN in 2 years, that'd be great - or, we could trade his rights, and if it's something close to the rumor, MN may end up with David Lee and Nate Robinson for the #5 pick.

Calathes does count since the Twolves picked him in the draft, so does lawson.

I still don't believe the Knicks are stupid enough to do that, I thought they were under new management? If that were to go down, how would they fit on the roster? Robinson is yet ANOTHER guard (a super short one infact) to add to their stable of undersized guards. Where will Lee start? What would happen to Love and Big Al? They don't need another rebounder, those two averaged double doubles (or Love was close to one) last year.

That was my whole original point: they drafted four PGs, two won't even play in the NBA for a couple of years at the earliest, and only one will play for them. Not exactly an orthodox draft process, but I'm not criticizing.

Yeah, I got you ;-) I do understand why they drafted so many guards though - they traded away their 3 main guards from last season (Foye, Miller, Telfair), so they had to get players back in there.

Don't count towards the roster this season - yeah, they count overall, but not for the roster now...like Pekovic from last year's draft.

Lee would be an issue...he wouldn't be cool with coming off the bench, and Kevin Love deserves to start...and obviously Big Al will start...so that would be something the Wolves would have to figure out, as all 3 will not be able to produce like they were last year if they are all playing side-by-side.

I'm so glad that Memphis didn't take him at #2 like everybody thought they would. I would have felt that they did give up the pick for nothing, but that's just me. Now, he might come into the league later, but it will prob be like Juan Carlos Navarro or something where he only plays one year and then goes back overseas imo.
