Dirk for Rubio.
no wait, this is me, not my imposter troll. nevermind.
If I was Memphis, I'd draft him and then trade him to the Rockets for oh I dunno, a starter like hmmm T-Mac. Package him with another Vet to make it work and we're all good. Maybe Darko or Gasol.
Rockets would then have Rubio and Gasol to take up that wasted space occupied by T-Mac.
How many times this have to explained in this board? This is wrong. Your name is automatically put in the draft if you are a foreign player for your age 22 birth year. You have no say in it it. Even if you do not want to be drafted like Nikola Pekovic you get drafted. You have no way out of it. The NBA just drafts them without permission. Foreign players have tried for years to get it changed and players association of NBA refuses because they say NBA players don't give a damn about the overseas players.
Interesting...very interesting..
he got a huge ing raise this year and he signed it. It is well known.
Chill, some people don't know. It's really not a big deal.
Those who have reached the minimum eligibility age of 19 and meet the criteria for "international" players are automatically eligible if they meet any of the following criteria:
- They are least 22 during the calendar year of the draft.
- They have signed a contract with a professional basketball team outside of the NBA within the United States, and have played under that contract.
But it is though because then an NBA team owns your rights forever. Look at David Andersen he is wanting to play in NBA for years and he cannot. Hawks refuse to sign him and refuse to trade his rights. So he can never ever play in NBA because of this. And he did not ask to be drafted they just did so without his permission.
Just give Rubio to us. You know you want to.
Yes, I know the system's unfair. But it's silly to get upset at posters who are unaware.
What if you guys traded back into the first round and got Nick Calathes? He might pair well with Brooks in the backcourt.
Lets trade Scola back to the Spurs. He sucks. We all know this to be true because Whottt says so.
Taking aside cases like Brandon Jennings, there are 2 mains categories of draftable players:
- International players, who are basically foreigners who don't play in the USA.
- College players.
International players becomes automatically eligible if they turn 22 years old during the year of draft. They can early-enter in the draft if they turn 19,20 or 21. They have the right to withdraw their name 2 times of the early entry list.
College players are automatically eligible when they are senior. They can early-enter if they are freshman, sop re or junior. They have the right to withdraw their name 1 time of the early entry list providing they didn't sign with an agent.
Not ready for NBA. He was cut from junior Greek national team.
I think foreign players can withdraw 3 times.
Where the were you earlier?
lol actually now that I think about this. This actually isn't a bad trade for both parties. It kinda makes sense. T-Mac's expiring for Rubio and Gasol or Rubio an Darko. T-Mac has to play well because it's a contract year and then Memphis gets 23 million dollars coming off the books in 2010.
Houston gets a good point guard and larger in the front court.
Where the were you earlier?
Rubio is probably 2 years from being NBA ready. He would not be good answer for the Rockets.
Stop with the bull lies.
hope he falls to the spurs then!
Well ESPN and draftexpress says they can 3 times so there.
Keep dreamin'
A scenario I've heard that does make sense is for New York to trade the number 8 pick, along with a re-signed David Lee and whatever else Memphis wants for the second pick. Memphis gets a productive PF to pair with Gasol and some flexibility with the 8th pick, D'Antoni gets his Euro PG. Oh, not to mention Rubio gets a -ton of endorsements to make up for the buyout.
Rubio would be perfect for the Rockets. We'd have Brooks, Lowry, and Rubio for our guards. Rubio could come off the bench.
