Ricky Brakes His Silence

Ricky Rubio has acknowledged that he does not yet have his "future decided, but almost" considers it "very difficult" to go to the NBA, but without giving details of the offers from the other clubs in the ACB.

"The NBA, I see it difficult, because they are not able to pay the buyout. In 'La Penya' if I can continue there I will stay there, but now I'm only thinking in the European and I do not know how long it will take to clear my future," he said during the presentation of the Spanish National Team in the Telefónica Arena in Madrid before focusing to San Fernando in preparation for the Eurobasket in Poland.

DKV Joventut player acknowledges that he would have liked to "leave clarified" his future before focusing with Spain, but it was not possible: "It was one of the things I had asked my agents so I can focus in this upcoming competition and not think about where I'm going to play. I have not decided, but almost, now I think in only the European."

For his part, the head coach of the Spanish national basketball team, Sergio Scariolo, was sympathetic to the player who has yet to confirm where he will play the next season: "I hope it is resolved quickly so it won't affect our preparation, but we understand that a player that makes a great effort and is a professional has to take care of his career too."

UPDATE:

Here's the Video

Translation:
* I told my agents that I wanted to come to the European, only thinking in the European and not be thinking in where I'm going to go play but well, I think if I would've taken this too fast and hasty it could be bad for my future. I haven't decided but, almost decided, and well now I'm just thinking in the European.
* The NBA I see it a bit difficult more than anything because they can't pay the buyout, I would have to pay it myself. As for Joventut I have a contract with them and if I can stay there then I will stay there. In two to three days I was intending with something I have spend most of my summer trying to fix but well, now wearing this jersey I'm only going to think in winning the European and give the best I possibly can.
