      After F.C. Porto’s decision to extinguish its pro basket section, Greg Stempin returned to the USA and he’s now retired (there are rumors of a possible comeback, though).

      It is nice and a bit surprising to see so many American pros (and one «half-Korean») being able to «upgrade» to what I believe is a much more competitive league.

      By the way, thank you for reminding me that Eric Sandrin played for C.A.B. Madeira. I «wikked» him and now (only now) I now that he’s Lee Seung-Jun, a Korean NT player: he’s going straight to my «notable players in Portugal» database.

                            Is the LPB going places? A handful of relatively important signings seem to indicate that the worst is over. If only Académica, Barcelos, Sampaense and CAB Madeira could get their acts together… Here’re the latest transactions:


                            S.L. Benfica replaced Lace Dunn with JOBEY THOMAS (SG, 1.94, 1980, ex- Basket Barcellona – Legadue). Back in 2008-09, in 15 Euroleague games, Thomas averaged 12.1 pts with Olimpia Milan!
                            -------
                            Mozambican NT PG AMARILDO MATOS (PG, 1.90, 1985, Mozambique) and Cape Verdean NT member JOEL ALMEIDA (SF, 1.95, 1985, ex-Vitória de Guimarães) move to Sampaense Basket.
                            ------
                            MOHAMED CAMARÁ (SF, 1.96, 1983, ex- S.C. Lusitânia), who I wrongly said would sign with Algés, signed with U.D. Oliveirense.

                            CESALTINO NETO (1993, Angola-Portugal, ex-Seixal F.C.) moves to Galitos F.C.
