According to Newsday Mike D'Antoni, coach of Knicks, has only one name in his mind if NY team win one of the top positions of the NBA draft lottery (along with Blake Griffin, of course): Ricky Rubio (Joventut, 6'3'', G, 1990).
The spanish guard has a $6 milion buy out for his contract. NBA teams can only pay $500.000, so the player must pay the rest, or he can be "helped" by Nike (currently his sponsor), for example. Eventhough the options for the Knicks to take one of the first positions are less: first (2.8%), second (3.3%) and third (3.9%).
