Kobe, Artest, Gasol?

Let me explain what has happened here in Spain. Rubio's first option was to go to the NBA, but it's not possible because of the 5 million buyout he can't pay (remember he's been making 97.000 euros a year for 3 years only, which is about 0.4 dollars over 3 years). He sued his team DKV, which only made the situation worse because the team wouldn't listen to offers nor raise his salary because of it. When he retired it, he made up his mind, and realising the NBA is economicly impossible for him this year, he decided he wanted to stay in Barcelona. His options are now down to three: FC Barcelona, DKV Juventut, Manresa. DKV's president said that he had hurt DKV by sueing them so much that he won't play a single game for the team anymore, and the fans supported the president. FC Barcelona made a initial 2 million offer, raised to 3 million recently, but DKV has reported they will only accept offers above 3.5 million, and since Real Madrid has a higher offer on the table, it's been said that he will be sold to the highest bidder. The problem is, players' agreement is needed in these deals, and since Madrid is not Barcelona, and FC Barcelona isn't likely to raise the offer again, Rubio could do nothing but declare he's going to stay in DKV because he wants to and because it has always been his home. (see this declaration in first post). However, DKV president insists that even if he decides to stay, Rubio is not going to play games for DKV Juventut anymore. Horrible, horrible handling by Rubio's agent.

I love it how I get the crits by ordinary people here before they even come out in Spain Saves me some money lol cinema is really expensive here

Always try to help people as long as it doesn't become an issue for you.

It says it's private

He actually took a 7 million paycut, which is nice.

PRobably you, since I already knew you at NBAD. Don't think any old NBAD member posts here on a regular basis despite BFT and ATDI.

Just signed Xabi Alonso for 30 mill

I love it when he eats raw food though

Is it known over there? It's a program by Bear Grylls where he goes to exotic places with a high risk not to survive without tools and he kind of tries to teach you how to act. It may be because I'm bored, but I'm addicted to it and I watch it everyday now. It's great.

Did you enjoy my country'

^^Shaq making 20 mill is kind of a contribution to the payroll don't you think? lol Also, they won't be 3rd highest payroll for the season because the $$$ of deals with MArion, Turk and others have not been said yet, so some teams still have to count with those 10-15 mill contracts.

He'd pull a Pistons. In euro basketball there's no stars, no scoring options, everybody is equal. That also means he'll play about 25 a night max, which isn't enough for him.

I see, nice. Didn't you get caught? Here in Europe it's always said that there's tons of radars on the USA roads and that it's hard not to get caught. I don't know though, it's just what people say here lol

That game was epic. I watched it live, I can remember it very well. The bench started to act a bit disrespectful though.

You are talking about miles, right?

Eminem murders her.

I was going to, but the Saturday flight (the day after that game) was full so I had to go back a day earlier and miss that game. I'm happy with what I saw though lol

I've only been to 2 games. LeBron TripleDouble with 50 points & Kobe 61 points vs Knicks :D:D:D *Also, I'll move this to General NBA Section

He's not that good I can tell you, but he's going to hit open shots and that's what he's going to get, so it's all good depth I guess. Don't be very high on him though.

He must be thinking of Portland also.
