All due respect to RealGM, but the source thinks this is the case.
And, in the meanwhile, no one I talk with that has any real knowledge of the situation sees the Timberwolves rushing to any decisions with Rubio. And, most especially, David Kahn is not trading this asset to the Knicks for an expiring contract and Jordan Hill. Kahn will try to get the most value out of Rubio IF he eventually decides to trade him. Remember, he gave up two veterans — Randy Foye and Mike Miller — just to get the pick to draft Rubio. I don’t expect he then flips the kid for nothing.
The Knicks certainly don’t.
Rubio’s representation in Europe has been pushing the New York angle since May and they continue to keep the chatter going. The kid would love to be a Knick and, yes, the Knicks would be interested in having him. But right now, unless Kahn is suddenly willing to pull the plug on this deal and perhaps take Hill or Toney Douglas (or both) in return, it remains baseless rumor.
