Yes sure. Europe is just escaping from working in Walmart for Americans. That's why Dorsey went in Dallas for the 2 way contract, no playing time guaranteed, and 250k net money instead of staying in Europe last year.

Yep. absolutely. He was third center in nice but not very successful Valencia team. Kattash does not believe in post up plays, he needs spacing. Rivero is not that, period. We have a problem similar to what Pao had, with a bit less drama. Owners, who can't or won't invest, but won't bring additional investors or sell to someone with more money altogether. We were very lucky to get BBB trio, and to retain them. This window of opportunity is exactly one year long. May be two. And these ridiculous owners decided to shit on this opportunity.

I also don't understand why people critcize Rivero. He is basically the same guy like Poythress, at least in the offense. Had some really nice games and was practically playing every game 20 minutes max so his numbers are pretty solid. You can't get Embiid as your 2nd center.

And lets talk about centers in Maccabi! Who is going to replace Poythress in you roster?
I mean, Cohen is joke
Sorkin is nothing special
and Maccabi only have Nebo in that position.
So, Webb in, Martin out, Poythress out, Rivero in.
As for Rivero, we taking out supposedly first center and bringing. let's say second center of mediocre team? Not good enough.Yalla Maccabi!!!

LOL, Poythress with injury is almost same guy as Rivero at his best, yeah... And nobody asked for Embid - just Noah Vonleh...
Of course there are better solutions but with the budget available Rivero is the best or one of the best players you can sign. Real centers cost a lot and this property doesn't spend, especially after having sold all the tickets for the whole season.

As for better solutions? Maccabi should have united Spanish national team center and power forward with team point guard and we would be talking about F4. Just 3-4 millions of euro. Not easy, but Maccabi owners have to understand that times changed and we can't survive with peanuts and glass beads. What was the point extending one of the best EL back courts while not strengthening weak points?
Oh, and don't get me wrong. Webb is good signing (Shane Larkin and Donatas Urbonas think so too). Cleveland is arguably better than Angola, and Tamir Blastt is better than Ziv, and will provide so much needed rest to Lorenzo. We just needed to add to this good 4/5... AND we bring f...ing Rivero....Yalla Maccabi!!!

The same Noah Vonleh who made like 2 3 pt shots in the last 5 years? The guy who was 15 pts guy in the Shanghai Sharks? He would average 2.3 pts per game with his offensive skill in the Euroleague. Rivero ain't Anthony Davis, but he is damn better in the EL than Vonleh.
