ORIGINAL: Easy E He could just play out his contract and sign in Europe. Sure. That also gives us years to work the best possible trade. I just think that unless a team is offering a young SUPERSTAR, this would be the worst possible time to trade him, and the only way I would is if he's going to re-enter next year's draft. It gives us years as being a bottom feeder team with a rebuilding plan on hold. Rubio is the prize for a crappy organization. He's the key to getting out of the toilet. The best way for that to happen is to get him here this year or next. The best way to screw themselves, IMO, is to wait 2-3 years figuring out that he doesn't want to be here, then trying to force him or take a great deal. We aren't going to know, but I hope like heck that Kahn actually sits down with Ricky, face to face, and gets a crystal clear idea of what he wants to do. If it's to play here, great. If he wants no part of Minnesota, I hope he starts working on a trade asap, while his value is still high. I'm not saying wait years. I just wouldn't trade him now. Unless he either figures a way out of his contract and plans to enter next year's draft or we get offered an absolute young superstar. IMO, if he HAVE to trade him, we do it after the lottery next year when we actually know what the pieces are. Trade him now and its possible the main piece you get for him is a late lottery pick.
