Neither Sessions nor Chubby Wells, Sessions’ agent, could be reached for comment Thursday night. Ditto for Timberwolves president David Kahn.
If Sessions does sign an offer sheet with the Timberwolves, the Bucks would have seven days in which to match it. That is highly unlikely, though.
-A little birdie said new Wolves President David Kahn has absolutely no interest in trading top draft pick Ricky Rubio, 18, who has committed to play in Spain two more seasons. And especially not to the New York Knicks, who have nothing reasonable to offer in exchange.
And in San Juan, there seems to be a collective support for Rubio. Many players and a coach at the FIBA Americas Championship understand that the Spanish point guard has the ability to play at the NBA level. However, the numbers in the opt-out clause of the DKV Joventut were astronomical.
“I don’t know how expensive was Ricky Rubio for (Regal F.C.) Barcelona [Rubio’s new team]. It’s the money that has to be paid to the player plus the fact that Barcelona had to pay (DKV Joventut) Badalona to let him go,” said Brazil’s coach Jose Manuel “Moncho” Monsalve. “The negotiations between Joventut and Barcelona calls for a payment to be made to leave to the NBA. It’s clear that Joventut has been very strict.”
