Though I no longer have the Spanish skills to translate, apparently, this article states Rubio has accepted that if he plays in the NBA it will be with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Additionally, it is being reported that Rubio's issue is not so much playing in Minnesota, as it is about paying the Juventut buyout. Ric Bucher of ESPN is reporting Juventut wants no less than $4 million. Rubio will make about $600,000 less per year based on the slide from the third pick to fifth pick. Also, keep in mind the Wolves can pay up to $500,000 of the buyout. Rubio will have to pay a substantial amount of the buyout, but if he were picked higher in the draft, it would only make up a fraction of the difference.
