Summer Signings and Rumours Thread vol. V

[rikhardur]

The previous thread already contained too many posts, so discussion resumes here.

Some guidelines to follow (props to JPF):

1. keep it clean and polite
2. try to stay away from one lined posts (and "source?", "link?", etc)
3. use edit button, instead of posting 3 messages in 2 minutes
4. read at least some posts before posting your news
5. this thread isn't and never was for euroleague and UC rumours only, but try not to report every single transfer that happened - instead try to judge on which one could be interesting for others.

Besiktas is interested in Zizic and Marcus Brown.

 

[Turkish Airlines Euroleague]

I thought Zizic already signed with Galatasaray, right ?

Nothing is clear yet. Both Besiktas and Galatasaray are fighting for Zizic. Imo he will choose Besiktas.

According to this:
http://www.turkbasket.com/haberanasayfa.asp?m=1&hid=40278
he signed in Gala.

Besiktas is interested in Zizic and Marcus Brown.

M.Brown can leave Žalgiris if and only if some particular amount of money will be payed to the club as a buy-out until 15 of July. So it's almost sure that he stays with us. Žalgiris GM said that it's 90 % sure that he stays.

Any information about Jasikevicius and Barcelona? I heard that Saras will come again to Barcelona before 15th of July.

Any rumor in Greece?


PD: The same about Kasun, it's true that he will play in Turkey?


Thx!

According to all Israeli web sites, Saras will stay in Pao.

Good player, great person. Insanely quick.

he is one of the highest person I ever saw who can't dunk the ball..
his defense is limited but he is definitely better then Hoskin for example..
both offensively and defensively..

İlyasova will stay in Barcelona

now that is great, he performed extraordinely in the last two months of the season and basicly he was the main reson why Barca got to the ACB league finals in the first place.. if he continues in that direction he'll be one of the best SF of the upcoming euroleague.. not the best since Šiška is still around but right next to him, yes...

........, Navarro, Ilyasova, Barton and Andersen..

Barton's name maybe isn't the biggest name around but for me he is a great team player able to hit balls when needed with being able to play more then decent defense..
the only part missing is a PG 'cause I would never build a starting four like this and then put it into Lakovič hands..
as a backup yes, as a starting play no..
can't wait to see this team on court, should be interesting...

Roma is closed to Brandon Jennings, the best PG in US high school. team offer a 1+1, but player prefer a 1 year contract

According to http://www.one.co.il/Article/119692.html and "Yediot Aharonot", Maccabi in near to sign "big name from the NBA" in PF position.

hey, if all european team find a "big name from NBA" who still in NBA for play!!!!

I don't know, but sure is too realistic thie rumors then D'Or Fisher....or I hope this for Maccabi fans

 

[Genjuro]

If I were Jennings, I wouldn't shoot a little lower than Lottomatica Roma. That's pretty high level, and he's putting his draft stock in danger.

And not the best because he played full time PF in those last two months (actually, a pretty big reason why he blossomed).

I think Jennings isn't good to EL level, but this can be an epocal change: if he come in Europe and he work good, other liceal can prefer come here at college

It looks like all the noise is about Rodney White. I wouldn't call him "big name from NBA" judging from his stats alone ( I haven't seen him playing )

 

[elaj]

Barcelona is interested in signing Primož Brezec as replacement for Mario Kasun. Ofcourse he is not the only option.

I wouldn't call Rodney White a big name from NBA either...
