WHERE'S RICKY RUBIO GOING?

That's the question most sports fan are wondering, will he finally be signed by the Minnesota Timberwolves or will he be staying in Spain with the DKV Joventut.

The first time i saw Ricky Rubio play was at the 2008 olympics, and he was good for his age that is. He was the Spanish team point guard , having been able to play toe to toe against NBA superstar Jason Kidd, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade, was just a remarkable sight.

On Wednesday a Spanish report said that Ricky Rubio will be staying in Spain for another 2 years. The Spanish Web site Marca.com reported earlier in the day that Regal Barcelona had reached a buyout agreement with Rubio's team DKV Joventut for $5.3 million. The report said Rubio would sign a 6 year deal with the team that included an affordable buyout in 2011 that would allow him to come to the NBA.

But Minnesota's Timberwolves President David Khan issued a statement saying no deal has been reached.

"Based on the information I have attained today, no team in any league has reached a deal with DKV Joventut concerning Ricky's buyout, which must be accomplished before Ricky is released from his contract with DKV Joventut," the statement read.

Which means the Saga of Ricky Rubio continues.

I wish this would be settle once and for all, and Rubio be able to play in the NBA.
