原文網址: http://tinyurl.com/kn2stg Rubio to Knicks? "No" Posted on: June 27, 2009 1:23 am Reading between the lines is a favorite pastime when it comes to the Knicks. Anything remotely resembling a clue that the NBA's supposed flagship franchise might acquire one of basketball's hottest commodities results in endless speculation, twisted interpretation, and innuendo. See the entry under James, LeBron. Now see the new entry under Rubio, Ricky. Meeting with the media at the Knicks' Westchester County training facility on Friday, team president Donnie Walsh mentioned that he planned to call his former employee, Minnesota Timberwolves GM David Kahn, to find out why he drafted so many point guards. And yes, Walsh coyly stated, Rubio's cold response to being drafted by the 'Wolves and his probable return to Spain as a result would be discussed. I shudder at the thought of viewing the back pages of the New York tabloids on Saturday. For one, it's my first day off in a long time. For another, Rubio most certainly will be pictured there. If not for Michael Jackson, Rubio might be on the front page. As I tried to tell you on draft night, there's no need for this. Kahn isn't trading Rubio. He's not going to be a Knick, no matter how much agent Dan Fegan wants him to be. This should be the end of it. Except ... Hot items like Rubio have a long shelf life in the basketball-starved New York news cycle. And yes, things change. Circumstances change. People have a right to change their minds. But as of now, Kahn believes in Rubio so much that he's willing to wait a year or two for him to come out of exile in Spain. And the Knicks like their first-round pick, Jordan Hill, just fine. "Kahn thinks Rubio is the best point ever," a knowledgeable, high-level basketball source told me. And the Knicks? Coach Mike D'Antoni, the person said, "loves Hill. Both stay put." Just to make sure, I asked the same person early Saturday if anything had changed or was expected to change based on Walsh's planned conversation with Kahn. "No," he said. OK, then. But just to satisfy the endless thirst for a splashy move by the Knicks, what is the best they could offer Minnesota in such a deal? Not Hill, but restricted free agent David Lee, who has received a qualifying offer from the Knicks and can be signed-and-traded after the league and NBA Players Association agree on the 2009-10 salary cap and luxury tax in mid-July. Last time I checked, the Timberwolves have Al Jefferson. No disrespect to Lee, but Jefferson is better. Yes, things change and circumstances change. And people have the right to change their minds. But as another high-level basketball source (note sarcasm) said as one of the media availability sessions ended during the NBA Finals: "Move along. There's nothing to see here." <心得> 果然太早浮出水面表態想要交易Rubio,太過高調 尼克已經被打槍了 灰狼不缺長人 尼克最好的籌碼David Lee,吸引不了灰狼的目光 尼克這邊,礙於2010 "小皇帝臨幸NY"計畫 恐怕也沒有意願吃下肥約,如果總管換成是老湯 我相信老湯會搞定這筆交易,然後尼克又要痛苦個好幾年 相反的,尼克2010年到期的合約超多,還有老貓的保險公司付費合約 這部份倒是很有再做交易的價值 這筆交易做不成,也不是壞事 也許尼克忘記Ricky Rubio會比較好 (已修正.謝謝giga831 網友指正......) Ricky Rubio陣營的心態是 想到NY 或是大市場球隊打球 並非是一定要到尼克不可 <2.0版補充> 目前最新消息,聽說火箭隊也被打槍了 看來灰狼是想把Ricky Rubio當成非賣品了 如果是 踢妹+ 某人 換 巫師轉來那三張合約 + Brian Cardinal 灰狼其實很賺,因為Tmac 只要不上場 薪水是保險公司買單 就跟尼克的老貓一樣,很適合想省薪水的球隊 今天尼克只是他們自抬身價一個籌碼 如果尼克退出這場爭奪戰,還有火箭等等球隊在競價 或許不久的將來,我們會看到驚天動地的交易..... --
