Well, if reports are correct then it looks like Ricky Rubio will be staying in Spain.

From RealGM.com

Ricky Rubio, the 5th pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in this year's draft, has agreed to terms on a contract with Regal Barcelona.

The Spanish team will pay a buyout of 3.7 million Euros, approximately $5.3 million, to Rubio's previous team, Joventut.

Rubio will sign a six-year agreement that contains an affordable buyout in 2011.

Although, ESPN.com says no deal or agreement has been completed yet

"Based on the information I have attained today, no team in any league has reached a deal with DKV Joventut concerning Ricky's buyout, which must be accomplished before Ricky is released from his contract with DKV Joventut," Kahn said in a statement released by the Wolves early Wednesday afternoon.

Even if things haven’t been finalized yet, it looks like Rubio will be staying in Spain, at least for a couple years. This is disappointing because I was really looking forward to seeing Rubio play in the NBA against top talent. I had been hyping him for a few months and now we will have to continue to wait. (Unless you can find Spanish basketball on a random internet feed somewhere)

Can you really blame him though? He gets to continue playing basketball in his home country and doesn’t have to live in Minnesota. Would you want to live in Minnesota at that age? I wouldn’t want to live there at any age!
