Maciej Bolesław Lampe

[Lebron232]

What happened to this kid i know he is still young enough to play in the NBA after becoming a journeyman in the NBA in the first 2-3 seasons of his professional career. He is a legit 6'11', and has a sweet shooting touch for a big guy, and he is also pretty agile for his size.


According to wikipedia

Lampe will be playing in the ULEB Cup and signed a one-year deal with Dynamo St. Petersburg. The bankrupt Dynamo squad were thrown out of the Russian League one day before the start of the season. Thus, making Maciej play for the BC Khimki Moscow region.

In February 2007, he was named the best player (MVP) in the Russian league

I think the Cavaliers or any other teams in the Eastern Conference can offered him a 10 day contract, and let see if he actually show some decent improvement in his overall game. He is still a good player IMO, and he just did not get enough playing time during his brief stint in the league.

He plays for Khimki. He is injured. European players are not disposable diapers nor slaves to sign 10 days hunger contracts.

There is life and basketball across the Atlantic too you know...

10 day contract?

This kid is one of the best BigMen in russian league. His pocket is full of $, so why he should sign a 10 contract?

Lampe is/was one of the best BigMen talents in europe. For many he was a lotterypick, when he declared to enter the draft. But the situation about his contract with his team then (Real Madrid) was not clear, so he dropped down to late 1st round or at the begining of 2nd. I don´t know it now exactly and i am lazy to check it up.

I hope he will stay for another 4-5 years in europe, and then perhaps try it again in the NBA.

 

[Neozyrus2]

Lampe is supposed to earn around 2.5million $ /season, and has a contract for 2 years.
So as u can understand he will only leave for a better offer. (well maybe if Cleveland was willing to pay him 5 million for that 10-day tryout, he would think about it - just kidding man )

He will probably spend the next years in Europe developing his game and becoming into an even better player, and then, depending of the feeling he has towards the NBA (after being "expulsed" from it once), he will consider returning to the NBA or staying in Europe.

 

[Lebron232]

He might pull an Anthony Parker type of performance, and teams would probably offered him a long term contract if he will remain productive for the rest of the season.

Here are his current stats in the Russian League

15.8 PPG, 8.9 RPG

By the way I also recognize Lee Nailon among the league leaders in the Russian League because he last played for the Cavaliers in the 2003-04 NBA Season.

It looks like he is also doing a great job playing overseas, and Nailon holds NBA career averages of 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, that is why i am not surprised if he can also do well playing in the other league outside the NBA.

Speaking of Maciej Lampe maybe he should try out to some other teams in the league because he is only 22 yrs.old, and I am sure there are plenty of chances that NBA teams would probably signed him up to give some additional improvement to their frontline.

I can see him coming back at age 22-25 yrs.old and helping out some team in the NBA.

Lampe made good move, because he want/he must play and not spent all time on bench (look now what is with Marcin Gortat)! Khimky is for him very good team, and if you didint know before injury he was team leader!!!

I think that after this two years, he can again try to get in to NBA He have very big chances !!!

 

[Test2]

NBA... This is worst thing what could happen to this kind european player. NBA is commercials and nothing more. He will be doomed if he go to NBA.

I like to know why do American players dominate the Russian Super league? they got the 7 top scorer's. and I've asked basketball friends here in the U.S. who is JR Holden? or at least where did he play college ball, but no one's ever heard of him.
Why did'nt Lampe play for the Poland National team at the Euro's this year? They had a solid backcourt, espicially with Pluta being a standout, and a decent small fwd in Wojcik. Havinng a good big man like Lampe would of sold the pieces to the puzzle and make them advance to the latter stages of the tournemnt.

Poland did not participated in Eurobasket 2007, they will do it in 2009, and I believe Gortat and Lampe will play. The only reason why Poland qualified to Eurobasket 2009 - the competition will be hosted by them
