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

Ok, let’s get your weekend kicked off right.
"Rubio doesn't want to go to Memphis, and he especially does not want to pay money out of his own pocket with that huge buyout for the honor of doing so. Fegan [Rubio's agent] wants him in L.A., and if he can't have him there, he wants him in Sacramento. Definitely not Oklahoma City. "
Honestly, can you blame the guy? I wouldn’t want to work in Memphis or Oklahoma City. On the other hand, if they were paying me millions of dollars, I could probably make it work.
