If they are so great why are they afraid of playing in Europe's best league?

[QUOTE=creepingdeath]Dirk won't play in Germany.[/QUOTE]

Reports are he already tried to sign with Panathinaikos, but they don't want to spend any money on him and that supposedly, his next choice then is Bayern.

Wouldn't even care about missing NBA if these players and more go over to Europe. Two leagues to watch (plus the domestic leagues) and NCAA? I'll get my basketball fix in.

Yeah, a team with a €26.5 million euros budget can't afford anyone...........

[QUOTE=R.I.P.]:lol :roll:[/QUOTE]

Navarro = FIBA MVP

Jasikevicius = FIBA MVP

At least they have the balls to play in Euroleague.

Obviously, if they choose not to play in Euroleague....then YES.

How do you guys watch the euroleague from the U.S.?

While I'm sure both Gasols would love to play for Barcelona if there's a lockout, I'm just not sure if Barcelona should do it.
Sure, the team would get better, but what would happen the following season? The Gasol brothers would leave, and Barcelona's frontcourt would be really thin (it's not like they can keep on the injured list the players that would replaced by Pau and Marc).
Barcelona is a top candidate to win every FIBA trophy as it is, so why risk their future?

Also, there's no way Valencia gets Durant, considering they currently got no sponsor.

[QUOTE=chains5000]Also, there's no way Valencia gets Durant, considering they currently got no sponsor.[/QUOTE]

Supposedly, Nike will pay him 6.5 million euros to play with Valencia.

Nobody cares.

Players they need = Pau

Players they don't need at all = Marc and Calderon

They are weak at power forward, having just Wallace behind Lorbek. They could really use Pau. They don't need the other two guys at all though.

that would be great

Show me where Dirk is going to sign. I would like to read the article.

Apparently, Linas Kleiza will also sign with Eurocup club Lietuvos Rytas.

Yeah, Tony is a chicken for playing for [B]his own club[/B] for free, and Dirk, inarguably one of the 5 top players in the game, is afraid of the competition.

Why aren't you banned again?

[QUOTE=Euroleague]Supposedly, Nike will pay him 6.5 million euros to play with Valencia.[/QUOTE]

What's in Valencia that Nike wants?

Maybe if Hedo plays well in the Euroleague it will give him the confidence he needs to be good in the NBA. :confusedshrug:

I remember there used to be a time when everybody on this forum used to call a certain poster NOLINKSYO the moment he created a thread......ah the good ol' times

Parker does NOT "play for free". He is making 5 million euros from the club's sponsor to play there.

Why are YOU not banned for making up BS?

Nike basically paid all of Childress' salary when he was in Olympiacos. What was there that they wanted?

I guess you didn't see my question:

Do you honestly believe they are afraid? You're not trolling or anything. This is something you honestly believe?

The NBA is also a minor league then, since it pays most players less than they make in Europe.

[URL="http://www.euroleague.net/competition/awards/awards-2011-12"]All those NBA players are obviously scared for the stars of the Euroleague.[/URL]

[QUOTE=Euroleague]The NBA is also a minor league then, since it pays most players less than they make in Europe.[/QUOTE]

Making less money, yet they still all rather play in the best league when they get the chance. Who doesn't want to play in the NBA, Right? As Spanoulis once told us...
