Great link
Thanks KFFCE.
This quote seems pertinent:
It will depend on how I finish up the season, because if I don’t perform well, maybe the interest of NBA teams in me decreases and I’ll leave it for another year. You never know what’s going to happen.
That jives with all the “if he’s top 3, he’ll enter” talk from fellows like Chad Ford.
Odds are he will enter the draft.
Like I have said before, unless his agent is Bonzi Wells agent and gives him bad advice…. Rubio will enter the draft because he will make more money off of endorsements if he does. Have you seen the NIKE shoes he has been wearing? Even though his basketball contract will pay him more in Europe then the NBA next year, his endorsements will pay him 10X more to make up for it. If NIKE want’s him to play in the NBA next year, I can assure you he will. Just call NIKE and they’ll tell you.
I thought this was interesting
True, but I’m not afraid, I have things under control and I’ve always said that age doesn’t count. When you’re playing on court it doesn’t mind if you’re 16, 18 or 25, no one is going to stop and look to your I.D., they’re only going to judge you on how you perform.
Seriously, on a real note, that sounds like a guy unafraid of what the NBA does to young PG’s, or for that matter since it’s probably more pressing in the immediate sense, the Spanish League.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I am the stone that builder refused..I am the visual...The inspiration..That made lady sing the blues....I'm the spark that makes your idea bright.....The same spark that lights the dark....So that you can know your left from your right...I am the ballot in your box....The bullet in your gun...The inner glow that lets you know...To call your brother son....The story that just begun...The promise of what's to come...And I'm 'a remain a soldier till the war is won....
Screw Griffin
Give me some Rubio! I don’t care if we have to wait a year to get him.
AK47, SN13, B52, and K9. One guns, Another runs, He fits, while it licks.
It's all about that buyout I would guess
If it’s lowered to the point where he can pay it reasonably, or someone else (like NIke) could pay it for him, then yeah, I think you’ll see that happen.

Yeah
I think that’s the biggest determining factor. He may very well declare this year, but in the end, It’s always about the money.
What I like a lot about what he said, is that he values the show, values his performance. He’s an entertainer.
I don’t think about it, seriously. I’m not going to play better because they come to see me. I can only hope they have a good time and enjoy like everybody else.
A second-coming of white chocolate? Less flash, more skill? Please Lord. Please Petrie.
AK47, SN13, B52, and K9. One guns, Another runs, He fits, while it licks.
Or maybe
Just as much flash, with a greater ability of skill and seriousness to make the flash worthwhile.

I'll take it
and hopefully a little less dope too. I can do without him running me off Auburn-Folsom in his white lowered navigator.
In retrospect, I had my learners permit at the time, I would totally take it to J-Will now.
AK47, SN13, B52, and K9. One guns, Another runs, He fits, while it licks.
Not a good road to be run off either
That road is nasty to drive up in awful weather too. (I hated driving on Auburn Folsom road when I drove a cab. I once had to change a tire out there, and it was not a soothing experience. Then again, I once had to change a tire on Biz 80 too. There’s never a soothing experience.)

Wouldn't be that bad
except the ditches there are 5ft deep and there’s no shoulder. And it’s a 45 mph road that everyone drives 65 on. But a tire change on Biz 80? That’s just a shitty day.
AK47, SN13, B52, and K9. One guns, Another runs, He fits, while it licks.
Had to change one once @ Arden
Cuz the pavement was so hot (it was like July or something), and that was probably the worst day I ever had changing a tire. (And I wasn’t even driving either. That’s really what pissed me off.)

Would Nike buy him out
knowing that he’ll likely be playing in a small market like Sac?
I don't think it matters
Rubio’s appeal extends well beyond whatever local market he happens to be in the NBA.

Oh yeah, just like the way Peja's did?
I’m with ya.
He's already learning his cliche's; Crash Davis would be proud
Q. You’ve always said your brother is your idol. R. True. When you ask people who’s their idol in basketball, everyone tends to say Michael Jordan, who is also one of my idols, but my true idol is my brother. I’ve been blessed to have someone near whom I could learn so much.

ohpleaseohplease
I am in platonic sports fan guy love with Rubio. I am afraid that I like him so that if we get the #3 pick or the #1 and pick Griffin it will ruin my hopes. He is so freaking great.
I wonder how the 'family' issue comes into a decision
a big deal for an 18 yr old being far from from home, a different language, no family, no friends, and a lot of hype. Scary. The ‘I wish things were going slower’ comment makes me wonder.
But I suppose we’ll find out soon.
So imitate the action of the tiger!
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.
- lend the eye a terrible aspect,
Now set the teeth - and teach them how to war!

He speaks English already
And, among other things, it’s not like there’s a shortage of Spanish speakers around the 916 either….

Plus...
with all the housing developments that went up without selling in the Sac area he could buy a whole block of houses for his family. They can even name the street after him. Hell, they can name anything in Sacramento after him. I vote we call the new arena Rubio Square Garden!

They could buy a small multi-story hotel/motel and live in it
like Rafa Nadal does.

I wonder how he'll adjust to there being no bullfights in America
we all know how much they like bullfights in Spain, and that could be tough for him. We’d better pick Thabeet just to be safe.

No bullfights, but a lot of matadors
Especially on the Kings. Isn’t that our strategy on defense….?? Ole!! Oleee!!!
