Ricky Rubio has communicated Barcelona his intention of leaving the team when the season ends. But he doesn't want to commit the same mistake that he made in Badalona so he'll postpone the official announcement until the ACB League finishes. David Kahn, Minnesota Timberwolves's GM, finally got his own way and the PG will make the jump to the NBA this summer. The factors that made him decide are the followings: -The insistence and interest showed all the time by the franchise. -The expiration of the rookie salary scale -His lack of development in Europe and the fact that he is being fiercely criticized. The factors that made him doubt: -The lockout and the fact that he could be some months without playing BUT the player's environment and Kahn himself made him see that this could turn out to be a good thing after all this years of competition (he hasn't stopped a single summer since he was 13). This "stop" could be useful to recover himself, adapting to the style of life in the USA and training on an individual level on all the things he needs to work on (especially shooting, of course). --
