Knicks Chasing Rubio Again

[Pugz]

With Minnesota Timberwolves' President David Kahn bound for Spain this week, some feel the trip isn't necessarily to bring Ricky Rubio back to Minnesota.

One insider tells RealGM's Alex Kennedy that Kahn could be working out a scenario where Rubio would be dealt to the New York Knicks.

"The Knicks have closed off negotiations with all free agent point guards until next week," says the source. "I think they're making a push for Rubio and if that fails, then they'll reopen talks with their other options.

The Knicks have been in talks with multiple free agent point guards, most notably Ramon Sessions.

"Kahn and [Knicks' President] Donnie Walsh are close and New York is looking for a cheap point guard who could help attract free agents next summer. Rubio fits that mold. I think that's what this latest trip to Spain is about, working something out with New York."

Rubio would make less than $3M during the 2010-11 season during the second season of his rookie contract.

I'm so sick of hearing about the Knicks and 2010, but I do hope Rubio can play this season or next.

Its New York, what do you expect. I dont Rubio to come to the Knicks because we need a different identity and that is one that doesnt include soft players.
