08:12 AM ET 03.17 | Tuesday's mill churned out a story from Spain suggesting Ricky Rubio's arrival in the NBA could be further delayed. Rubio said a lockout would be an "important" factor in making his decision, although Rubio could choose to sign with the Wolves this spring before the league's current collective bargaining agreement expires rather than risk terms of a new deal that could be significantly less lucrative if owners get their way. Rubio said he will decide his future after this season, which could stretch into June. If he decided to leave for the NBA, he said he'll talk to his current club "and the NBA club, which right now is Minnesota." The Wolves sent three representatives to Europe to visit Rubio and his family in February and Kahn plans a May trip to Barcelona.

The T-pups need to focus their attention on their current roster and stop putting all their hopes into Rubio. W's will determine if Ricky plays in Minnie. He can't turn around this bottom feeder all by himself. If KLove bolts for a contender, he should, then what?

Well Johnny Flynn hasn't been any good ...David KAHNNNNNNN! should not have a job after that draft

Omg, I can't believe we still talk about this guy.

Part of the problem is Kahn did the draft without a Coach, did not hire Rambis till August ... and Flynn was not a good fit for Rambis triAngle system ....

from Milwaukee and Jennings, also Did not have great numbers in Italy - Europe, just like Rubio, so I will wait to past judgement till I see him in the NBA ....

Jennings wasnt a starter when he was in Italy.

Rubio knows he's not that good or he'd have been here already.

I wouldn't mind seeing him pair up with Kevin Love. Maybe we would get a better idea of what both guys could do.

Does this mean you still have doubts about Kevin Love? If so, Rubio is certainly not going to clarify anything for you.

Flashy player other than that none of us can really tell what he is capable or not capable of.
