At what point does the the whole "I've gotta play at the highest level" thing just not hold water. I have spent time in Barcelona and Minneapolis. I can't even begin to tell you how much better life is in Barcalona. If I were Ricky Rubio, floppy haired, Spanish, and a handsome, presumably sexually active prospective miultimillionaire, do you know when I would play in the NBA?
Never. That's right, NEVER.
What the fuck is would the point be? Winter in Minneapolis? Maybe be traded to Memphis.... or Detroit or OKC ... Fuck. No.
@Who Wants to Sex Pittsnogle?: I like your point a lot but I think peer recognition and just pure, giant ego for these athletes play a bigger role than you surmised. As a baller in Barcelona he will always be 2nd fiddle to even a substitute on FC Barcelona's bench. Maybe he looks to Gasol and thinks that could be a possibility one day. Serve out your mandatory sentence in a black hole like Memphis and then hop the next train out of town to a bigger city/franchise when your contract expires or a trade.
@Kid Canada: Of course he's still there. No one gets fired from the 600 First Avenue Country Club. But Babcock has no interest in parting with Jefferson for your quarter.
That piece of purple and blue lint, however, has caught his attention.

Sounds like Spain.

I'm hoping it's not the same one that Eddie Griffin used.

If so, perhaps he would be interested in sending the Raptors Al Jefferson for this nice shiny quarter I have in my pocket.
