The only options Ricky Rubio is currently considering are playing in Minnesota or returning to DKV Joventut, sources said on Tuesday.

If Rubio had been a top-three pick, he could have more easily afforded to pay Joventut to release him, a source said. But the difference in salary between third and fifth in the draft is roughly $600,000 a year. Joventut reportedly is asking for no less than $4 million for his release.

In any case, Rubio apparently has no objections to playing in Minnesota.

"This isn't about Minnesota," a source said. "It's about the buyout."
