The T. Wolves just signed Ramon Sessions to a 4yr contract and also drafted Jonny Flynn?

My answer to your first question is no. They should not start trying to trade him now. Things may happen and they might need Rubio later. Right now his value isn't too high considering he's not coming to the NBA until 2012 probably. Also, if he improves and plays much better in Barcelona and the Olympics, then his value will be higher. The Wolves could get more for him.

Ricky Rubio will come to the NBA as soon as he can. His top priority is the NBA, but he feels like he needs to improve his game first before he comes. While I question the reason Sessions was signed to a 4-year deal, he was signed not only because of Rubio. He was signed to help the Wolves and to help them play a run and gun offense as David Kahn wanted them to do. They can play a solid 2 guard offense now and now have 2 young great passers in Flynn and Sessions.

There have been many great NBA players who didn't come their first season including Larry Bird, Drazen Petrovic, Arvydas Sabonis, David Robinson, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Peja Stojakovic, Andrei Kirilenko, Manu Ginobili, and Toni Kukoc.

We shouldn't trade Rubio, especially not to the rumored New York Knicks, who don't have anyone that the Wolves need except possibly Chandler, but it's not worth making that trade.

EDIT: However, the Timberwolves might be forced to trade Rubio if he declines to play after 2 years, meaning he doesn't have to be signed to a rookie-scale contract.

(The Timberwolves might have to sign him to a lucrative contract, which they don't need).

EDIT 2: Robert, if the Timberwolves possibly didn't accept an offer of Battier and Brooks for Rubio, why would they trade him at all? I really doubt that Houston was actually willing to give that much away for an unproven 18 year old rookie.

Rubio really wasnt interested in playing in Minnesota. I mean come on you live in Barcelona, you gonna leave that at 18 for Minn. Besides NY my Rockets had a good offer of Brooks and Battier for Rubio.

2-solid starter, one a young up and coming PG and one that a great team chemistry guy and one of the better defenders in the league. Shane would be good for a young team and both could be used a better deal trade commodities. But Minn backed out.

Rubio staying because his friends and family started to pressure him about staying in Spain to play has nothing to do with developing his game. He wouldnt have gone into the draft if that was the issue.

I think in 2 years you'll see the Wolves looking to move his rights to a team that can get a guarantee from Rubio that he will opt out and the team can pay the 1.4mill buyout to Spain.

Hes interesting. I think hes kind of overrated and Im surprised that Darryl Morea offered the Wolves as much as he did on a unproven commodity with a high risk factor. But we will see in two years.

Well it was an offer sheet, so the Bucks have 7 days to match the offer. But yeah, I'd definately look to ship Rubio, they could get quite a good deal for him I think.

The T'Wolves though have a nice point guard combo for the future, Sessions and Flynn, will be great in coming years.

Well sessions will be backup i think..

about rubio its over..and they will never trade him,they will wait 2years to take him back

I think they waive him. And no other team will want him because he may hurt team chemistry. If I were a team in the NBA, I would have never picked him if I had the last pick and he was still available. He's too skinny and can't shoot.

they did already.......I thought they just offered him, a 4 yr contract.

If they did get him then yes it is over for Ricky and, maybe they should start trading him.

they are not getting anything good for that stupid guy, I am very disappointed! Maybe if he ever comes to the NBA they can trade him, but now? they will not get anything for him.

RICKY RUBIO SUCKS
