CSKA is better off with someone like Giannakis or even Zouros instead of Gershon.. Gershon is good for the french league to play run-n-gun!:rolleyes:

I know you are kiding, but somehow i would rather see this kind of play style at times, than the low pace offense, zone defenses we see most of the time here (except for roanne basically and they struggle right now... victim of a lack of efficiency on attacking the zones, go figure :rolleyes:).

It was 2 and with an all-star roster.. admittedly he almost won the Greek championship from a tired Pao. If it wasnt for Diamantidis and the refs in 2 key moments he would've done it. But apart from that he has struggled everywhere else he's been in since that time in Maccabi.


Pao to loan Bogris to Aris? Lafayette is not 100% cuz it has been agreed but not put to paper. There might be someone else today..:confused::mad:

This is taking far too long for one transfer..but thats the problem you're having when instead of keeping the money for transfers you try to repay the old debts of the previous president..at least Aris could be free of debts at the end of this season.

Good signing for Drucker. Brown is a good PG with an exellnt scoring skills and the time in Prokom does not tell nothing.

He struggled? Where exactly has he been "since then"? In Greece, he couldn't have been hold accountable for why Acker was not able to make a one-on-none dunk. Acker simply gave PAO the championship with this sloppy play. PAO was tired? Why? Because of two extra EL games they have played?

Forgot the 2001 title? In a league with PAO, CSKA, Efes and others? Just because of marketing reasons the EL is keeping silence about this title, you don't have to do it. Exactly the three teams mentioned (aside from Efes) have dominated European basketball since then and won eight out of next ten titles.

All-Star roster? Which All-Stars did he have on his roster in 2001? Who was being considered as a major superstar aside from Saras in 2003, when he came to Tel-Aviv? Vujcic? Baston? Even Parker, whose game totally changed and developed since 2003, compared to 2001? Gershon made them All-Stars because he maximized their strenghts, just as he did with the defensive-minded team in 2001.

In any case, he shouldn't go to CSKA. He is getting a million from MTA this year anyway, so there is no reason for him to forego this money he gets for writing a weekly column in his blog.

jugoplastika also won titles with nobadys like kukoc and radja....yeah right...the fact parker and vujcic were just geting in there best years that doesn't mean they were not euroleague all-stars....like bodiroga wasn't greatbefore he won et:rolleyes:

and it wasn't gershon who made vujcic great, it was his talen, willingnes to learn from dino and hakeem, coach sestan (now works in vujcic basketball academy) and repesa who pushed him from wing under basket when he lead group of youngsters to suproleague QF

Kukoc and Radja came from Jugoplastica's youth, while Vujcic and Parker were scouted and signed early, while being nobodies. In fact, both players became European bball's superstars but it isn't like Gershon has taken over a roster with superstars and led them to titles. Jasikevicius was the only known name on the roster. The rest showed under Gershon's guidance what they are capable of.

Gershon maximized Vujcic's usefulness by getting him a player in Baston, who complemented Nikola very well. While he profited on offense from Vujcic, he covered Vujcic's ass back on defense. If you remember, MTA first loaned Vujcic to ASVEL because it had better centers at that moment.

One can always belittle achievements by a coach, saying, he was coaching All-Stars. I can't remember Obradovic having won anything significant without lots of arrived superstars, or Messina, if he didn't have the best players in the competition, who were superstars before they got to play under him.
Fact is, Gershon has three major European titles. Fact is, Gershon used to have success whereever he worked. He even beat MTA with Galil Elyon in domestic championship back in the early nineties, when nobody in Israel could even have fantasized about it. It's quite poor not to pay a coach honor for titles. Gershon neither had the most expensive roster nor did he have the most known names, when MTA has signed them. But the team played probably the best offensive basketball ever in Europe, set records and excited crowds with great team play.
 
Prokom has approached Jasaitis. If MTA is really thinking about epanding their roster, I don't understand why they don't sign Jasaitis. He is tall, a great shooter, who can defend and move. Eidson would move more to SG (nominally).

MTA should look for a center however. Not an easy task as he would have to be proficient with his back to the basket AND move his feet quickly enough on defense as MTA is switching on defense. Hendrix is playing out of position with less and less minutes and confidence right now. He doesn't help. It would be better to loan him to another team. I'm sure, there are teams out there that need a PF like him. And then sign a center. Hendrix could help only, if one of the PFs should sit out a game back at center, it's only Sofo who can't play the whole game and Green for defensive purposes in limited playing time.

vujcic nobady.....just like benetton done grat scouting with moteijunas or bologna with lorbek:rolleyes:

vujcic for surley wasn't nobady, he was always known as one of best prospect in europe, very hyped, dominated youth competitions along with giricek and sesar, had great season with kk split wich made something in iternational stage and was member of croatian national team alredy for 4 years in starting 5 along with kukoc, mulamerovic, giricek.....that surley isn't description of unknown player.....grat scouting is when you take some kid from 2nd german league as lotto pick and that guy becomes future hall of famer, not somebody who was sucsefull in iternational stages for years. maybe you consider that becose those days forums, ilegal streams, prospects hype sites were not so popular vujcic nobady
