Now recovered form an ACL tear, he could make for a cheap wing option.

IIRC Bruno said around midseason that he thought the Spurs were gonna go after him.

IIRC Bruno said around midseason that he thought the Spurs were gonna go after him.

Spurs were said to be interested in him but the recovery of his ACL surgery took more time than expected. He played some games in D-League with the D-Fenders in late March/early April but he wasn't at 100%.

We will see if Spurs are interested again in him this summer.

He will be playing with the Mavs Summer League Team...

It isn't summer league but a vet mini camp that has happened yesterday and today. Players who do well in this camp usually get an invite for the summer league.

Gelabale being linked to Mavs isn't a big surprised. They have been said to be interested in him sooner this year and he currently lives in Dallas because his agent is located there.

I really liked him for years and also thought he might have more upside than Pietrus. well, things didn't exactly work well for him and the injury happened in the worst moment (in a contract year) and the recovery took almost twice as much time as usual. however, Spurs should still keep him in mind.

Un exemple à suivre pour Beaubois
Cette nouvelle doit réjouir Rodrigue Beaubois. Le meneur français pourra en effet prendre exemple sur l'un des meilleurs joueurs de l'Histoire de la NBA à son poste… Agé de 37 ans, Kidd devra reposer ses vieilles jambes durant la saison régulière et Beaubois va en profiter, avec J.J. Barrea. «Vous avez sans doute entendu des rumeurs comme quoi Rodrigue resterait en Europe. C'est faux, assure Mark Cuban, le propriétaire de la franchise de Dallas. Nous avons l'intention de le faire jouer dès maintenant. Il était notre cible, et nous pensions le choisir un peu plus bas dans la draft. Lorsque le Thunder l'a choisi, nous les avons contactés pour le récupérer. Rodrigue est un véritable athlète. Mais c'est aussi un vrai basketteur. En fait, il me rappelle Rajon Rondo.» Mickaël Gelabale pourrait d'ailleurs le rejoindre sous le maillot des Mavericks. Libre de tout contrat après un passage réussi aux D-Fenders en NBDL, l'ancien Sonic a en tout cas été sélectionné pour participer au Summer Camp de Dallas.

From Sport 24

Basically, Cuban is saying that probably Rodrigue Beaubois will play this year for the mavs and won't be sent in Europe. The journalist is also stating that the mavs are interested by Gelabale, he has been selected for the Dallas Summer League

once you see my "FO won't do jackshit" thread... get ready... :toast

[Brazil]

BTW if the mavs sign and play R. Beaubois and M. Gebale I'm sure they will be the steal of the draft and FA ....



against the Spurs.

thanks !

The lakers weren't supposed to take a decision September 30th?

[Austin_Toros]

didn't he recently blow out his knee or something?

[Mel_13]

The Lakers cut Michael Fey (UCLA), Mickael Gelabale and David Monds today, trimming their roster to 15 players. Free agents Tony Gaffney and Thomas Kelati remained with the team for now. Neither is expected to make the squad, however.

Gelabale is probably done. He will most likely head back to europe.

[Darkwaters]

I remember liking his game a few years ago. But that was pre-surgery. How does he look now after his recovery?
