Ricky Rubio is in his homeland of Spain right now, and his latest appearance on local television indicates that he and the Utah Jazz will soon be going their separate ways.
The Jazz had a decision to make regarding whether or not they would hold on to Rubio’s costly cap hold of $22.5 million before free agency begins. It seems like Utah’s front office has given Rubio a heads up well in advance that he will become an unrestricted free agent.
Renouncing their rights to Rubio along with waiving all of their non-guaranteed salaries would easily put the Jazz in position to attempt to woo a max free agent like Tobias Harris.
