Some signings in Italy

Combo guard Timmy Bowers, ex-Jerusalem, signed with Caserta

Big man Pervis Pasco, ex-Rieti, signed with Biella.

Bracey Wright to Milan? That's the talk right now. They have a contract with Hollis Price, but they are looking to buy him out.

Sharrod Ford was told by the crazy owner of Virtus, Sabatini, to come to Italy today, and he refused. They are thinking of cutting his 1.2 million dollar contract, it seems like they were just looking for any excuse to get out. Brett Blizzard was told the same, but he showed up.

David Moss is apparently on his way to Virtus Bologna now, cause David Hawkins signed with Siena.

Jobey Thomas to Varese.

Szymon Szewczyk to Avellino.
 
Zalgiris in the short run will sing a contract with one or few talented lithuanians said Respublika, also they still trying to save Jankunas and looking for new foreigner Center

BASE Oostende signed Javier Mojica. Can anybody tell me what kind of player he is, what kind of mentality he has?

Crazy guy. But good outside shooter, surprisingly good rebounder and don't let him go on fire ;)

Union Olimpija signed Polish player Pawel Kikowski on three years deal.

Just like the Lampe/Maccabi deal - great one for Pole, doubtful for the club

Is Szewczyk in Avellino official?

Gary Forbes to Cremona/Vanoli Soresina -- Excellent signing IMO.

I'm also almost sure, but it's still not official :)

And between almost sure there is difference. Kikowski was "almost sure" in Turow Zgorzelec. Now he is in Ljubljana.

He will be backup at SG to Sašo Ožbolt. Zdovc likes him because he plays aggressive on both ends of the floor and believes that Kikowski still has a lot of upside. As far as I saw and heard from him, he can also play SF.

He can play SF, but at Euroleague level he is too small for this position I think.

And what about Klobucar and Walsh? Will they be SF's?

I read somewhere that Olimpija's budget for this season is only 4 million euros and they can spend just 1,5 million from that amount on players wages. That means that they can hardly effort some player which is more expencive than 200k(and that player will be probably star in their team). They are trying to find some cheap players, which will be usefull. They are trying to get rid of their expencive players

I hope that Partizan will steal them Ilievski :cool:

They are negotiating with Ilievski to stay in Olimpija. I was told they are really close to agree terms. Partizan's budget isn't much bigger than Olimpija's... ;)

That's true, but Partizan doesnt have any expencive player in the team...

Vesely is one of the cheapest players and he has signed 5 year contract...

Partizan has amazing management, the best in ex yu...

Hot head ;) Very quick player, leader, good ballhandler, can make the shot himself, solid defender... has bad shot selection, very inconsistent scorer...

Thanks for the information but what do you exactly mean with 'has bad shot selection'. For someone who gets his 3-pointers at almost 40% during the last four years, a bad shot selection is hard to believe...
