Rubio Rumors


El Periodico reported Wednesday that Regal FC Barcelona is prepared to give Rubio a five-year contract worth $1.4 million annually with an escape clause that would allow him to play in the NBA after two years. The point guard has two years remaining on his contract with his current Spanish team, DKV Joventut, and has been seeking to have his $6.6 million buyout reduced. Marca.com reported that DKV Joventut has an agreement on the buyout with Real Madrid, but Rubio wants to stay in Barcelona. Looks like he won't be staying to play NBA this season. "I do not know how long it will take to clear my future," he said. Rubio also said, "I have not decided, but almost," adding that going to the NBA would be "very difficult."
