08:13 AM ET 01.24 | Will Ricky Rubio, whose game in Europe seems to have regressed in the eyes of some, ever play for Minnesota? The best boon to his development might be to play in the NBA, where the best point guards are not only great passers but are also able to carry a team with their scoring. In the more-wide-open NBA style, Rubio could flourish. The Timberwolves continue to push him toward the NBA as soon as possible, contending privately that they have a commitment from him for next season. But Rubio's camp does not appear to be convinced. "The bottom line is, why would he want to play in Minnesota?" a senior member of Rubio's camp said this month. "He'll continue to say all the diplomatic things, and Minnesota needs to keep his value up for trade purposes, but the family's preference is to be on the East Coast, specifically New York, Miami or Boston."

Good article and I can not blame the guy...
Yet, Boston has Rondo, so he isn't going there...
To play for Miami he would have to play at the rookie minimum for years but would be a difference maker within that team...
New York would be a good fit but doesn't Felton play point guard there?

The bigger question for Rubio coming to the NBA .... is how long is his Buyout good for this summer, IF there is a Lock Out in the NBA .... Rubio just may have to commit to playing another year in Spain vs paying for the Buyout and then NO NBA to come to.
