For those who don't speak Spanish or use Babel Fish

Ricky Rubio will be coming to Sac, Memphis, OKC, and New York, but will not be working out anywhere. He’s just here to interview with management and get a feel for the cities.

Also (without attributing it) the writer says that Rubio might still play one or two more years with DKV.

It's cool

I live in New York, and I know where the NBA’s offices are. I’ll just wait outside the building and throw a ziplock bag of my urine at him. Look for me in the newspaper.

Why not...

Just pick up a bag off the street? I mean, why go to the hassle of bringing your own?

I dunno

Because throwing someone else’s seems so impersonal?

The draft lottery has reinforced my belief that there are not enough bad words in the English language.

So...

NY decides they need to have Rubio, we swap picks and take Curry plus their first rounder next year?

I can't believe I'm saying this

But I’m starting to get the cold sweats over Brandon Jennings. Seriously.

People use the excuse that he couldn’t buy playing time in Europe, but they neglect to point out that the coach was not going to betray his established veterans for a one and done rookie. Unless I am mistaken European coaches tend to play rookies even less than the most stubborn of NBA coaches, especially a guy who is only going to be there one year. I wouldn’t throw control of my team to a 18-19 year old rookie who knows nothing about European basketball and is only going to be there for a year. This kid has so much talent and really was humbled by his experience in Europe. If there was one guy I would pick here that wasn’t Rubio it would be Jennings.

And on top of that

he learned so much about being a team player. Dude matured way more than he ever would have in college. In college he would have been coddled and had everything he wanted. In Europe he had to earn it.

And the one point I keep bringing up about Jennings is that even though he’s gotten less playing time it’s not as if his talent has disappeared. Add the amazing talent level to his new found maturity and you have a great PG

You are not mistakin' anything

It’s not about developing youngsters (like in the NCAA), it’s about winning games to attract sponsors.

Anyway, everyone who has seen him recently says he has become mature and has developed his skills very well.

To quote myself

The 3 million dollar question is that whether the flashy AAU kid can merge that with his learned European game.

I usually get the cold sweats before I throw up

so is that a good thing or a bad thing? Does this mean you are getting excited about the prospect of Brandon being a King or getting sick to your stomach because he might become a King? (You know in a bad way)
