Minnesota T'Wolves president David Kahn joined the show to discuss the Ricky Rubio situation.
-- Dan asked Kahn what is the status with their No. 1 pick Ricky Rubio.
"It's still pretty much in the same spot it was in draft night," Kahn said.
Kahn is confident the T'Wolves will sign the 18-year-old guard, but there are still problems.
Kahn said that the "threshold issue" was the buyout with Rubio's team in Spain.
-- Kahn said he talked to the Knicks, but nothing is going to happen there with Rubio.
"They are very clearly setting themselves to be a major player in free agency in 2010. ... There really isn't anything we could accomplish even if we wanted to," Kahn said.
Kahn maintains Rubio will likely play in Minnesota.
"We don't really have any intention of trading him whatsoever," Kahn said.
Kahn did not buy that Rubio wanted to play in another city.
"I don't think necessarily this is a John Elway situation," Kahn said. |
