Ricky Rubio playing good in Copa Del Rey, negotiating a lower buyout?

3

After it initially looked very unlikely that he would come to the NBA before 2011 when his contract is up due to a very high 6 or 7 million Euro buyout, chances are that he could still come over earlier - and correspondingly enter the draft earlier - if they can agree on a lower amount (NBA teams can only pay 500k towards such a buyout). To keep their star happy, Joventut recently doubled his salary, but the big catch is the buyout. Maybe Rudy could pick up the phone for KP to find out exactly if 2009 or 2010 or even later is the draft year to focus on :) P.S.: Article includes kicks pic of his custom shoe. Ben would be proud.
