This is one of those stories that shows how poorly the Minnesota Timberwolves organization is run. Their First round draft pick, Ricky Rubio, has decided to stay in Spain for at least two more years with a Barcelona.

Barcelona bought out Rubio's contract for 5 million dollars and that will keep Rubio out of the NBA until at least 2011.
