Hey bud, I split your thread into this one while still leaving info in the main thread -- thought this one deserved it's own free-standing thread. -Stuart

WOW, WOW and WOW!!!
Khimki is going head to head with Dynamo to the Euro-cup title and fight against CSKA.

Wow, Wow, Wow thats great!! NBA is going down its good for us

Nothing's going down. But the players Europe can compete for are certainly getting better and better. That is a long process, and I don't think we've reached the peak yet. Let's hope it's not a bubble that will collapse one day.

However, this move surprises me, as both PAO and Oly reportedly were interested in this player.

Some source for this? All I can find is a post on a Spurs forum.

Wait and see. Cheezdoodle was a very reliable source for years now without quoting newspapers. He has his own informations.

I think this Delfino signing will in the end pan out the same as Monya's 2 milion € per season with Dynamo.
Delfino is good and all... but mostdefinately isn't worth those 3.5 mil... simply doesn't pan out as imo they could get loads of better players for such ammount.

But that is only a theory. Delfino had an average of almost 10 PPG in the NBA and is in his best age. He is worthy of a huge contract in Europe. I really dont see all these "better" players lining up to play in Europe .Biggest signing this summer thus far.

Delfino isn't that good. Seriously, he wasn't up to the standards PAO probably wants for a starter. Now talent wise, he's VERY good. HUGE talent, but his play level is poor.

Very bad basketball IQ and shot selection.

Oh please, Delfino can eat all the Pao small forwards for breakfast.

He is a true dynamite and it is a pity that we won't see him in EL.

Too bad he is not a true SF but more of a SG
