Jk is a good player and can always find contracts anywhere..wish he plays for lebanon..its more fulfilling winning or losing to a best team..

yes, but his contract with sagesse is huge, he sign for 6 years '' 350000 $ per years''. and i guess he can not play somewhere else without his release.

if he is barred from playing in lebanon, what reason will sagesse have for holding onto him? they will have to pay him even though he is not playing?

in my opinion, him waiting for a call up to the aussie team just means he values the aussie team more than the lebanese team.

That's the thing he can't play anywhere else since he doesn't have the release.
Sagesse will not give him the release trust me. They will keep him here until he nags and begs the federation to remove the banning.
 
okay, thanks. I don't know about forcing a guy to play. you won't get good results from him
 
It's not forcing more crushing him for good.
Unfortunately politics destroys everything in here.

well, he's going to make a lot of money playing in lebanon with that contract. the least he could do is repay it back by playing for the lebanese team. I mean, how would it look if he's making all that amount playing as a local and then represents australia instead.

that's the general public thoughts as well.
 
mavrick_h, do u think that if he has been release, can he find a better/same contract as the sagesse one? cause i remember that someone told me when he played in Poland, his contract was normal and he was fired ( he didn t show a good performance).
 
So does anyone know why he doesn't want to play for the NT?

that's the thing everyday he has new reasons.
First he was waiting the Australian NT list, then the other day he wants 25k for the tournament alone, this week he claims he wants the coach changed and the federation resigned...some ppl here are trying to manipulate him, but he just can't see it or doesn't want to see it. Too many patriots in our country unfortunately.

Well at the moment his stacks are low, so No. I really don't think he's gonna have a better deal anytime soon. Specially with this attitude.

U know lebanese fans are starting to hate this guy... after chanting his name in the games, too much calories were burnt :p for nothing, in my opinion it doesn't seem like he is going to play, and if we forced him he is going to make us problems. It's just a dream that didn't come true.

there's a filipino proverb, "pag ayaw maraming dahilan, pag gusto maraming paraan." translated in english, it means if one does not want to do something he has a lot of reasons to not do it or a lot of excuses, but if a man wants to do something, even though there are a lot of obstacles, he will find a way to do it.

lebanese basketball is bigger than this guy, is he really worth it?
 
it's not that he's worth it , it just that he's a good center 2m11 and complete player '' 3pt, dunk, shot''. unfortunately we have many injured players like the tabet, roy samaha, daniel faris, bassel bawje, so we have a little problem in the position 4 and 5. and it would be great to have twin tower in our NT '' julian and loren wood'', cause if loren is injured or foul out then we re in big trouble.
even if matt didnt have a good season , he's better than nothing, i still dont know why ghassan didnt call him.

You are right Julian Khazzouh is the best lebanese center for now,he can helps us a lot either on defense or offense with his high concentration on the court.About Matt Freije,yes he should be in the NT even though his performance declined but he is better than most of the players in his position where he is far better than them on taking the three,where everybody should realize that Matt Freije is one of the best 3 point shooters in Lebanon and the NT can depond a lot on him in the crucial time of the games like his season game against riyadi in the final seconds.Finally I hope that Lebanon would be able to play in fiba asia 2013 because the situation is not very good and that the federation will be able to convince the clubs to remove their charges on them because if they didn't there will be a possibility that Lebanon will be banned from playing and I am sure sure nobody want this to happen,hoping everything will be solved.
 
Well we might end up talking here for nothing.

Let's wait and see what will happen tomorrow and next week. If the situation continue as it is, we might never play in Asia for the next 3 years.

It's not Fiba-Asia that wants the documents. There's a problem between the FLB and Amchit Club which caused all the fuss. And FIBA is involved now.
The quarter final series between Champville (Pos 4) and Amchit (Pos 5) was a complete mess. On game 3, it was Friday or Saturday (not sure), when the series was tied 1-1 with the tension during these games, some small fights happened on the court. However, the game was continued and Champville won that game to lead the series 2-1. Game 4 was scheduled to be played in Amchit Stadium the next Monday night. On Monday the FLB president took a call from the minister of interior and municipalities asking him to postpone the game for security reasons. Now politically the minister is one of the presidents guy, and since Amchit's president is the country's president son, he had influence/power over the ministry.
The main mistake of that scenario was when the president of FLB "Rober Abi Abdallah" accepted the postponement of the game and re-scheduled game 4 the next day. The next day (Tuesday) Champville went to the stadium and the Amchit supporters blocked the bus from reaching the stadium. At the same time phone calls and meetings were held in different locations to come up with a solution. Amchit kept pushing the game time since they had injuries in their team plus their player 'Ghaleb Reda' was banned from playing game 4, because of his actions on Game 3. However, the FLB couldn't stand these accusations and re-scheduled the game from Tuesday afternoon to Tuesday Night 10:00 pm as final scheduling. Amchit didn't show up to that game and therefore they lost the game in forfeit (20-0). Champville qualified to the final 4.

Amchit club didn't like the situation so they decided to appeal and took the matter to the civil court. Meanwhile the league kept running and reached the final 4.
(Riyadi vs Champville 1-1, Sagesse vs Mouttahed 2-1)
Amchit after their influence in the court as well their political power, won the case in court and the judge ordered a replay of game 4, considering all the results after game 4 as non legit. After this situation, the FLB stopped the league until further notice and decided to take the matters to FIBA.
 
Today the FLB received the notice from FIBA with the following demands:

- Overcome or Suspend all the civil court decisions in 7 days.
- An agreement signed during the period of 7 days between the FLB, the clubs, Sports Ministry & the Olympic committee and send to FIBA in English.
- If time helps, to continue and finish the league without any outside influences.
- All the parties who appealed to FIBA, will receive their final notice during the next three months.

FIBA wants all the documents/answers before 5 July, 2013. In case the FLB fails to meet the deadline they are going to take serious actions towards the Lebanese participation's in any FIBA sanctioned tournament for a long time.

We need a miracle in 7 days to play in Asia this year. It's not looking good at all. Specially when members of the FLB are resigning from their positions.
