Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is starting to lose patience with their 2009 number five draft choice over-all, whiz guard Ricky Rubio. Despite being drafted, the 6-4 20-year old Spanish wonder boy has not seen a single minute of action for the T-Wolves. Instead, he has been toiling in the Spanish league for the last two seasons. Rubio thinks he has to know first if there will be a lockout or an NBA season at that, before he makes a decision on whether to play for Minnesota next season. Taylor on the other hand says Rubio has to decide now or before the NBA draft in June and no need to wait if there will be a lockout or not, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
“That is the question. He's asking how that (lockout) might affect him, if we don't play or if we will play. And our answer is, 'We won't know the answer to that question. You're going to have to make your decision before that. We (NBA owners) are negotiating with the players right now. We're hopeful we'll play. But I don't want to guarantee him that because there's no way that I know that.”
