When the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to draft for Ricky Rubio this summer, they knew there was a gamble involved. Many teams had their doubts that Rubio would be in an NBA uniform this season, and now we know he won’t. Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Rubio has agreed on a six year deal with Regal of Barcelona, which gives Rubio the option to head to the league after the 2011 season. Some reports stated the Knicks had made one last push to land Rubio via a trade, however sources close to the organization are denying that.

In other news, the Celtics have signed former Pacers guard Marquis Daniels, according to the Boston Globe. Daniels agreed to a one year, $1.9 million dollar deal to join Boston.

With Raymond Felton still not close to signing a deal with Charlotte, the talks of a sign and trade have begun to come up. The Bucks and Sixers are potential landing spots for Felton, however he would have to agree to a contract less than what Charlotte could offer.

Two small market teams could be in talks to make a big splash on the upcoming 2009-10 NBA season. The Pioneer Press reports the Memphis Grizzlies may be looking at trading pending free agent Rudy Gay. Gay, who may be looking at a big payday when his upcoming contract runs out, would be an ideal fit for the Wolves. Memphis, meanwhile, could be interested in landing Ricky Rubio. Whether or not Rubio would want to play in Memphis without Gay remains to be seen.

In other news, the Dallas Morning News reports Mavericks star forward Dirk Nowitzki’s ex-fiancee was sentenced to five years in prison for violating her probation. Cristal Taylor has stated she is pregnant with the child of Nowitzki.

More sad off the court news comes from Houston. Yahoo! Sports reports Heat forward Michael Beasley has checked himself into a rehab hospital for substance abuse and psychological problems.
