Ricky Rubio Seeking 5-Year, Max Contract From T-Wolves

Rubio's Agent Seeking Five-Year Max Contract From Wolves
Jul 15, 2014 11:38 AM EDT


The Minnesota Timberwolves and Ricky Rubio's camp have been in contact on a contract extension.

Rubio's agent, Dan Fegan, is seeking a five-year max contract.

David Kahn now infamously gave Kevin Love a four-year extension in order to keep his five-year extension for Rubio. Love's future with the Wolves is now in serious doubt as he can become a free agent in 2015. If Rubio and the Wolves are unable to agree upon an extension, he would become a restricted free agent in 2015.

Flip Saunders took over for Kahn before the 13-14 NBA season.

MY NOTE:  Flip Saunders is in a hurt locker right now.  You shoulda taken the deal, Flip, you shoulda taken the deal.  Now there are 29 sharks circling you because they know there's blood in the water and it's just a matter of time.  If you don't make a deal on Love, you lose him.  If you don't make the deal with Rubio or try to lowball him he'll be a RFA next year and, while he may not be a max contract guy, he's going to get a lot of money thrown at him because he is one of the better point guards in the league. The good news, for us, is that maybe GMs will start chasing Rubio instead of Rondo.

Max contract for a brick shooting, low scoring guard == Ridiculous.

One reason I choose not to care about salaries is that, if you really think about the absurdity of it all, you'll go nuts!
