Kobe "agrees in principle" to sign with Besiktas

[Grinder]

This is per Turkish media. A bunch of sources have been reporting it in the past few hours. They've found a sponsor to pay Kobe salary demands. Take it for what it's worth.

$1 million/month till the lockout ends.

So if the lockout lasts, Besiktas will be fielding this starting lineup in the Eurocup :oldlol: :
Deron Williams
Mire Chatman
Kobe Bryant
Erwin Dudley
Zaza Pachulia

I dont get this move for him. Whats his salary? Is it worth the potential injuries/wear and tear. Dude still is killing it in sponsorship money anyways. Hes old. His international image cant really get any bigger. What does he have to gain?

For a dude like williams, it makes a lot of sense.




also, for those claiming euroleague has better/equal players (not better ball or whatever, just better players), why is a teams 8th man (zaza, who I love) already penciled in as a starter?

Wow. Besiktas is such a smart team. Even if they never see Kobe, Deron or even Zaza, they already win from these moves. So much publicity. So much hype.

I know, personally I'd want to watch some Besiktas games now. Kobe and Deron in the NBA is the top backcourt, in Euro... legendary status.

But according to Euroleague, Kobe will be lucky to average 2 ppg and Deron won't get on the court.

no doubt. They have immediately elevated their status as a club even if they never play a single minute for them. Just the idea that kobe (in particular) would sign there makes them a better destination for euro FAs IMO.

What about the scandal concerning Besiktas football club? Doesn't it affect the basketball club as well since it belongs to the same organization. There was a news story in local Estonian media that said authorities have frozen all Besiktas bank accounts or sth like that because of some fixed games in football league.

Basketball club belongs to the same Kebab outlet store guy as the soccer club, but actually his wife is taking all the blame for the soccer. So Kobe can play in Turkey, sure.

If he signs, I hope Euroleague will find a way to give Besiktas a wild card to play in their league, because as it is, Besiktas is set to play in Uleb Cup (secondary European league), and, of course, in the Turkish League.

Teams that compete in Euroleague are determined based on their records in their own national leagues in the previous season, so Besiktas' assembling the greatest-roster-ever-seen-in-Europe will only help them enter Euroleague next season, unless Euroleague committee does something about it.

If he signs for Besiktas he wont score a point in Euroleague. Besiktas plays in Eurocup, which to Euroleague is like D-league to NBA. What is Besiktas thinking i dont know, but i guess they have a lot of money to throw away

[Calabis]

C'mon, son ... can you hide your hate? You mean to tell me you wouldn't enjoy seeing the American Superstar Kobe Bryant, go overseas guns blazing and dominate crappy Euro comp?

Obviously I don't really think he will score 100, I doubt he will even play really hard over there.

But I mean are you that big of a hater that you wouldn't enjoy from a basketball fan perspective seeing Kobe put up insane numbers in some crappy euroleague?

No they won't ... he'll be protected by the refs.

Hate?? U said u see a 100 point game, I simply stated why he won't.....maybe in his prime he would, but 32-33 year old Kobe on bad wheels, is not going to do it, especially over there, where they will look at it as some type of disrespect and smash him(no need for him to get hurt over there)....as far as watching him play, hell yeah, I love watching him play, especially when he's on fire....but I think he will just use it as something to refresh little nuances in his game.

[bluechox2]

hes comming back with euroleague champ

no doubt they will qualify for that league after seeing deron and kobe on it

[LA_Showtime]

I love it, simply because it pairs Kobe and Williams together, giving them an opportunity to see how their games mesh and an outside shot at Williams signing/being traded to the Lakers.

That team could not even win the Euroleague this season.

certainly. There is no doubt that Euroleague (the best of the national leagues in europe) is much better bball than the fanbois (who seem to comprise the majority of the online fanbase of the NBA) give it credit for. Kobe will not go over there and dominate/ride their 7' around ala vince. Nor is euroleague the pinnacle of all professional bball despite NoLinksYo! tired and strenuous statement to that effect.


Even with d will and kobe, there is no guarantee this squad even gets to euroleague competition.

Who says they are done after recruiting Kobe? I'm sure they'd get a couple of more players, not starts, but nice role players. Once they are done, it would be the best roster ever in Europe. See, unlike you, I've lived in three different countries in Europe for several years and followed the Euroleague very closely.

Catch24 - The real reason is that Euroleague teams don't want to shell out big money for players that could leave halfway through the season and disrupt team chemistry in the proces. And Kobe doesn't want 1,000,000 per year, he wants it per month, which Besiktas is willing to pay.

They're looking towards signing guys like Maurice Evans and Chris Quinn as role players with no NBA opt out clause.

Turkish clubs generally don't pay in euros. In the European club basketball system.......

Russian, Israeli (they count under European system for political reasons), Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Turkish clubs generally pay in $US dollars.

It is the clubs from France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, Slovenia - clubs from countries like that pay in € euros.

The Turkish clubs can pay the equal amount of euros from dollars and can convert it if the player wants. But they have the US dollar, or Turkish lira as the main currency.

So if you see a Russian or Turkish club signed a player for X amount of euros, that is usually the converted ratio, based on the dollar amount. Again, the clubs can convert the money for the player if they want.

So, if it says Kobe would make $1 million dollars, in Turkey, that does not mean he would be getting paid €1 million euros.

The $1 million net, is basically worth about $2 million in the NBA a month.

The NBA contract loses agent fees, NBA union fees, NBA retirement fund fees, federal, state, and local taxes.

Kobe's contract with the Lakers loses more than 50% to those costs. So, the $1 million net per month, would be equal to more than $2 million per month with the Lakers.

[Euroleague]

It is part of his "empire". Kobe can command $30 million US gross in endorsements through that club.

So there is another reason, besides just contract figures that these guys want to play in Besiktas. Or maybe it is part of the NBA and FIBA making a very obvious push to break into the Turkish market.

The 2010 FIBA World Championship was about the most rigged sporting event ever and it clearly showed that FIBA and the NBA were trying to gain a hold into that market.

This may all just be a part of that, with Turkish Airlines playing along. It is exactly how Stern operates.

Of course, it will be harder to rig the TBL than the NBA.

The funny thing is that Euroleague would have been easier to rig. The head of Euroleague basically rigged it for Barca in 2010. I'm sure he would have played along for the right amount of money.

I guess they would just settle for him rigging Eurocup, since the competition is lower and it would probably be less noticeable to European fans.

Americans will not admit it is rigged if the score is 100-0.

I mean, what a coincidence that Besiktas is a known money laundering and racketeering unit for the mafia.

This guy continues to make false accusations and to post lies. There are thousands of documents and websites detailing the crimes committed by Standard and Poor's.

There are hundreds of websites that detail the Turkish club Besiktas and their connection to illegal racketeering and betting on games with the mafia.

He has gotten me banned already and continues to ask for me to be banned simply for posting these facts. Because for whatever reason, it pisses him off.

This is per Turkish media. A bunch of sources have been reporting it in the past few hours. They've found a sponsor to pay Kobe salary demands. Take it for what it's worth.

$1 million/month till the lockout ends.

So if the lockout lasts, Besiktas will be fielding this starting lineup in the Eurocup :oldlol: :
Deron Williams
Mire Chatman
Kobe Bryant
Erwin Dudley
Zaza Pachulia

Wow... it would be over for the rest of that league...

SMH... Watch this dude find a way to get Deron Williams to the Lakers after they play together for a few months in Turkey...

And if you keep begging for a ban, which you have gotten me banned before already - I am sending a formal complaint to the owner about you.
That's high comedy, since the owner of the site is the one who does these bans.



He has gotten me banned already and continues to ask for me to be banned simply for posting these facts. Because for whatever reason, it pisses him off.
I've never been banned from this site, or any forum.

But you keep reaching for that rainbow!

[L8kersfan222]

OK, give me your three best rosters of all time.



LOL @ Euroleague ducking and dodging this

[swi7ch]

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Wow. Besiktas is such a smart team. Even if they never see Kobe, Deron or even Zaza, they already win from these moves. So much publicity. So much hype.

I know, personally I'd want to watch some Besiktas games now. Kobe and Deron in the NBA is the top backcourt, in Euro... legendary status.

But according to Euroleague, Kobe will be lucky to average 2 ppg and Deron won't get on the court.
realest shit i never wrote haha :bowdown: :lol :lol :lol

[GreatGreg]

And he can see all the endless documents proving Besiktas and Standard and Poor's are criminals. There are thousands of websites on that.

You do realize you're conspiring, right?
Where is your evidence that Standard and Poor's and Besictas are run by the mafia? Is it that hard to post links backing up your claims?
