【Joint Deadline】
Rubio's contract with the Cavaliers expires at the end of the season, after US media reported that Rubio wanted to return to Europe to play.
【Personal Opinion】
★Rubio, who debuted at the age of 16 and was dubbed the "Golden Boy of Spain", killed everyone in Europe, but regrettably, he never proved himself in the NBA.
★ Excellent passing vision, a good big picture view, and the league's upper-level outside defensive ability are All just some of Rubio's personal strengths, but he didn't maximize any of these advantages; he had the chance to become a Hall of Fame point guard like Jason Kidd, but unfortunately he didn't take the opportunity.
★ Without this injury, Rubio might have been signed by another team after his contract expires this season, but now it seems that there is no need for him to stay here.
