If he decides to stay in Spain, they could trade his rights. That would make sense since they drafted Flynn with the next pick. Maybe they anticipated this.
This is the reason I was asking. They GM for the Timberwolves was on Mike and Mike show this morning and was saying that they drafter Rubio knowing that they may not have him for up to 2 years. I got the impression that his spanish league team wouldn't let him go. Now I hear on the Tirico and Van Pelt that Rubio is trying to pull an Eli Manning.

Cant really say i blame him in this case. I don't understand why you draft him if you think he won't play for you, unless you planned on trading him. T'wolves organization doesn't seem to really know what it's doing

He has a $6.6 million buyout that becomes to $8 million in July, the NBA only allows teams to contribute 500K. He only made 97K last year.
Someone on ESPN stated that there is deal in place that would leave him 3 million in debt after 2 years playing in the NBA.
