I've been pretty adamant about trading Jose. My number one reason is injuries. Look through his injury history the last few years after playing international ball - it is dreadful. Injuries occur early and linger all season. The exception is this year when, due to the lockout, he had 4 months off. The counter argument many have given is, "He won't play as much for Spain because of Rubio." That was true until now.....

This is speculative on my part but if Rubio's ACL is torn, please trade Jose before Thursday.

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie point guard Ricky Rubio will have an MRI on his left knee Saturday morning amid fears he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.
“Possible ACL,” the source briefed on Rubio’s condition said. “We’ll know more after the MRI. … There’s a lot of worry right now.”
Rubio’s knee buckled with 16.4 seconds left in the Timberwolves’ loss to the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night in Minneapolis. He came across to trap Kobe Bryant and crumbled to the floor as Bryant collided into him while trying to dribble. Rubio immediately grabbed his knee and remained on the floor for a few moments until teammates carried him to the bench.
A torn ACL would end Rubio’s season.
Rubio, 21, has played an immense role in the T’wolves’ revival, partnering with power forward Kevin Love to push Minnesota into playoff contention in the Western Conference. For the season, Rubio has averaged 10.5 points, 8.2 assists and 2.2 steals. His flashy passing and gutsy play-making has made him one of the league’s most popular young players.
