With Thursday's news that Ricky Rubio has no interest in playing in Memphis or Oklahoma City, it puts the June 25 Draft completely up in the air. And even though the Clippers have already stated that they're taking Blake Griffin with the first pick, that could simply be a marketing ploy to generate as much interest as possible in order to move the pick. In addition, Rubio really wants to play in L.A., so it's possible the Clippers could trade down in the draft and get Rubio, who is the guy they really want anyway.

The Clippers really hold the key to much of what will happen this offseason. Baron Davis and his mammoth salary probably need to go, and he could even be traded back to Golden State for a reunion with Nellie. In addition, with big men Chris Kaman, Zach Randolph, Marcus Camby and DeAndre Jordan on the roster, the Clippers almost have to move one of them. The Mavericks are probably very interested in Kaman, while Randolph's ridiculous remaining contract may make him nearly impossible to move. Camby's only got one year on his deal left, so he's an attractive piece and probably easily movable.

But the bottom line is that nothing in this draft is set in stone, and while it looks like Griffin should be the first pick, it is far from certain. The Grizzlies and Thunder have needs other than point guard, so they don't need Rubio, but would like to take him because he's considered the second best player in the draft. But there is no doubt both teams will be very scared in taking a risk on him if he's not going to show up. And given the fact that he's still under contract in Spain for two more years, it's no skin off his back to pull out of the draft and stay put. Get ready for a roller coaster ride as teams prepare for the draft on June 25, as this could be one of the most drama-filled NBA summers we've ever seen.
