Joventut’s president is really mad… Here are some translated nuggets from this article http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/473027/0/villacampa/joventut/rubio/ - We move ourselves by principles and an unbreakable youth development policy. We wouldn’t exist if we didn’t invest in player development and didn’t protect ourselves with this kind of clauses. - We are not here to give free gifts, one thing is negotiation and another one is to give gifts. - We are going to fight to defend our philosophy and protect our interests. - Both sides were absolutely convinced and happy when the contract was signed. - Now it seems that he signed the contract under a gun. But he didn’t come alone and lost here. - We gave him the opportunity to become a professional player, to grow as a player, to be an Olympic medalist. - The contract is what it was signed and we are going to defend that. - We have tripled Ricky’s salary unilaterally without asking anything in return. He earns now more than 200,000 Euros - I had three meetings with his parents after the Olympics. First, they told me that they would respect the contract entirely. They changed their opinion later and said that they would like to change the clause in 2010. Then, Dan Fegan came and told me that the decision was already taken to leave. - They have the right to sue us but this is not ethical. - This is morally wrong. They are just looking for their own interests. - They don’t take into consideration what was signed. - We offered him to reduce the clause in half to 3 million in 2010 but they don’t offer anything. - I don’t know if it is ethically correct that a player who is suing us can continue playing with us. That’s sounds weird to me. - Rudy Fernandez was intelligent. He chose to stay one year more with us and he helped us to win three tournaments. He matured as a player and now he has a bright future in the NBA. - We offered the same thing to Rubio. We will lower your clause if you stay one year more but he doesn’t want to give anything in return. 我會覺得有點類似Pip的處境，異曲同工的情況。 Rubio當時簽約的時候，我相信雙方應該都是OK的。包括買斷的費用等等應該是談好的， 而當時Rubio這方可能不覺得是如此不合理，也許DKV動之以情（栽培之恩）等等。 但是隨著經紀人推波助燃，讓Rubio這方傾向今年加入NBA，尾隨而來的買斷費在經濟 不景氣下顯得如此巨大，於是Rubio這方開始覺得不合理，態度整個轉變。 而且感覺雙方已經撕破臉，Rubio如今要轉隊就絕對要出買斷費。DKV應該是希望Rubio 再留一年拿冠軍，還舉出Rudy的例子來壓Rubio。DKV聲明只要再留一年，明年買斷費 折半到三百萬（歐元、美元？）；如果今年就要閃人...代價只怕很高。 但是合約是已經簽下去了，就算是賣身契，也無法改變白紙黑字的事實。只能說時空轉變 就像Pip當時的合約在後來看起來是被耍了一樣，但也無可奈何。 所以情況變得複雜。想選Rubio的球隊，非得幫忙搞定他的合約；尼客隊無疑資金雄厚， 大城市曝光機率高，廣告代言贊助應該較有機會。國王隊的助理GM如果能適時展現他的 專業，我相信要拿到Rubio機率高很多。 哪一個城市能幫他解決合約，哪一個城市就能得到Rubio。（來美國不是來玩的！） -- --
