Ricky Rubio has two years remaining on his contract with DKV Joventut Badalona, his professional team in Spain, and has yet to be able to negotiate down a buyout number that is at least $6.6 million.

"I believe his representatives are working diligently to get a solution," said David Kahn of the Timberwolves.  "I have no idea at this point whether a solution can be reached. But I believe we kind of know what the parameters are and I think that we have a chance.

"But I wouldn't even begin to state the percentage toward that chance of this being accomplished this season versus next season or even two seasons. It's still very problematic."
