    In reply to The Math Of Kahn: Ricky Rubio's Deal In Spain Could Work Out For Timberwolves
    Sorry to be serious about this but I have to ask:

    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.

    There was something sort of exciting about a player entering the NBA as a total mystery

    You can find this gem and more in How to Choose Your Lottery Picks by Larry Harris.

    and Kahn will continue to look like a man operating from whatever manual Kevin McHale used to drive the franchise into a ditch.

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

    So they basically traded Foye and Miller to Washington for two years worth of postcards from Ricky Rubio? Great trade, Kahn!11!!!!!

    I was wondering how it was possible for Minnesota to fuck this up so royally.


    Then they did a videoconference of the Timberwolves' draft room on draft night.


    You know who was sitting there?


    ROB FUCKING BABCOCK.


    That's right, after getting shitcanned by the Raptors for, among others, "Vince Carter for a bag of shit", "Araujo over Iguodala" and "Graham over Granger", this genius organization decides that he's someone they need in their braintrust.

    Judging by a recent quote, all of this NBA attention has clearly gone to Rubio's head.


    "I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about siesta. We're talking about siesta man. We're talking about siesta. We're talking about siesta. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about siesta."

    This is truly sad. Now he'll have to wait two whole years for all the wonderful things that an NBA career has to offer.
