What frustrates me so much is that he decided to enter the draft when he didn't have to, he said leading up to the draft that he was ready and willing to come play here, he was all positive and encouraging on draft day, but now that Minnesota has picked him he has totally changed his tune. If Minnesota had a true sense that he was going to be this difficult then they probably wouldn't have chosen him, so his attitude has caused a team that picked him in good faith to potentially wind up in a very bad situation. Vancouver never really recovered from the Steve Francis debacle, and this isn't much different. A player can decide whether he wants to come to the NBA or not, but once he has made that decision I have a real problem with him trying to dictate where he is going to play.

NBA is only a competition, but there are other competitions where to play. If Rubio find the team who is looking for, he'll play in NBA, else, he can play where ever he wants. There is life out of NBA. PD. It seems you have a pain with this. jajaja
