I love Minnesota because they always give us great deals in trades (seriously i think Riley has pics of the guy molesting children) but they are fools for that one.You saw Rubio's contract right? Contracts are usually set by the market.
And this is coming from one of the people who was on the Rubio Bandwagon when he came into the league. I really thought he was gonna be Nash v2.0. He's nice... but not that nice... yet
Also, the market can set the price but you still have the option to buy in or let them walk or do a sign and trade. See Josh Smith
