David Kahn told New York reporters that he still expects his 2009 draft pick Ricky Rubio to play in Minnesota when his NBA career begins.

Kahn also seemed skeptical that the Knicks could make a trade offer for Rubio that would interest the Wolves.

"I mean no disrespect to the Knicks and Donnie [Walsh], but what kind of trade could they propose?" Kahn asked.

On Monday in New York, Kahn had dinner with Walsh, his former boss at the Pacers.

"I have as much affection and respect for him as anybody in this league," Kahn said.
