Rubio's Agent Seeking Five-Year Max Contract From Wolves

[dirkdiggler41]

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Ricky Rubio's camp have been in contact on a contract extension.

Rubio's agent, Dan Fegan, is seeking a five-year max contract.

David Kahn now infamously gave Kevin Love a four-year extension in order to keep his five-year extension for Rubio. Love's future with the Wolves is now in serious doubt as he can become a free agent in 2015. If Rubio and the Wolves are unable to agree upon an extension, he would become a restricted free agent in 2015.

Flip Saunders took over for Kahn before the 13-14 NBA season.

What is Rubio really worth?

[Johnny Jones]

10 million ish

He's not a max player, but then again GMs love to overpay and then cause a lockout. Seeing as one is probably coming up soon, fvck it. Pay him.

[Levity]

5 years, 60 mil?

with them losing love (most likely), theyll have room to afford a contract like this, while still signing other good players.

i dont know for sure, but im assuming rubio brings in the fans for minny

Lol wtf. More like 5 year $40-50 million or feel free to leave. Maybe $60 because it's Minnesota though.

I honestly think Livingston is better all around player and Rubio is on the same level as Collison tbh. You have to be a idiot to pay him max.

Dude's worth 7mil a year max he's below guys like Jeff Teague who are on 8 per season and Dragic who's like 7.5 he's not even half the player Dragic is.

Rubio is worth $7-8M per year, but Minnesota might have to overpay him a bit because they're not a very attractive free agent destination, so maybe $10M per year.
Anything higher than that and I would just point him towards the door.

If i'm not wrong, Steph Curry got 11 millions... Rubio can't ask for this much money...

[RRR3]

Shoot 40% first and then we'll talk

I think that he'll end up with $10 mil/yr. I don't think that he's worth it but I think that he'll end up with that. Very good defender and excellent passer but awful shooting. His inability to improve his jumper has hurt his game all around. If he never does that he'll just never be that good. He's def better than Livingston and certainly has more upside. Not worth $10 mil tho.

Nick Calathes when Conley went down put up as good/better numbers on a winning team as Rubio did.......

[FlawlessVictory]

He is worth nowhere near a max deal, but given his marketability and the inability of the twolves to attract free agents, he will get a max deal or something close from them.
