Where did you take this new? I watched in Khimki official site, around the web, but nothing appeared...
The source of that info is a reliable poster from InterBasket message board. If I remember well this poster is in fact Jonathan Givony form draftexpress.
So, this is just a rumor...no online newspaper talks about that...8,5 millions euros are A LOT of money, for Europe...almost 3 millions euros x year (6 with taxes).
It's more than a rumor. Givony is generally accurate at reporting euro-signing.
Russian teams have a lot of money and taxes in Russia are low. €3M should cost something like €4M with taxes to the team.
I don't know about Givony, but I know about Russia and Europe (I'm Italian). Believe me: 3M Euros (NOT dollars) are A LOT OF MONEY for a basketball team in Europe, even if Khimki is rich: they have other 11 players to pay...anyway, that's NOT official (let's watch in ALL European, Russian, American, or at least Argentinian newspapers: they don't say a word). Yesterday, in a press conference, Delfino said nothing about that...Khimki doesn't even play Euroleague. There are teams that next year will play Euroleague, that can take him at similar prices (Panathinaikos, CSKA, Olympiakos). If he comes back to Europe, I think he'll try to go to these teams. Anyway, everything could happen: I don't say he cannot go, but I would wait it becoming official...
Exactly.
Khimki (or Khymki, sp?) has also offered a big contract to Garbajosa, 2'8M € per year: http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpu...dseccio_PK=808 .
Reds are coming!
There is a big gas company backing Khimki (that's the exact way of writing, I found in Wikipedia, even if somebody writes Khimky)...they already took Palacio, Moiso and Lampe (last year). Maybe they could make a super-team (for Europe) and contending against CSKA in Russian League...
is he gone?
I know that's a lot of money and that's why other team can't pay him as much. I'm not sure Panathinaikos or Olympiacos were ready to give him €2.8M per year.
Russian teams have a lot of money and can give crazy salaries to players. Last year, Dynamo Moscow signed Javtokas to a €3M/2 years salary after he had a crappy season in Greece. One month ago, Khimki has signed Moiso to a €2M/1 year contract.
well then....goodbye
then he will bang mad hot russian chicks. lucky
I say before here Russian teams is richest of all. The big Russian teams is owned by Russia government and oil barons. Richest sports owners in world is in these big Russian clubs.
His agent said that Delfino will choose today which offer he accepts, between Detroit Pistons, Olympiakos and Khimki.
So, it's not yet done...even if Khimki gives him more money, I think that, if he wants to come back to Europe, he has to go to Olympiakos: after all, they'll do Euroleague, and I don't think that their offer would be less good by far (a couple of millions euros for sure, maybe more...). But he's a great compe or: after four NBA years, it would be in some way a defeat coming back to Europe, after his better NBA season...in percentage, I would say 40% Khimki (more money, after all...), 30% Olympiakos, 30% Pistons...
According to Argentinian newspapers, NOW the deal's done: Delfino will play the next 3 years with Khimki. About contract, they talk about 30 million dollars x 3 years (7,3 millions after taxes), more than Manuel Ginobili, and I think even more of what they said in the beginning of this story (2,8 million euros is less than 7,3 million dollars, assuming that they were talking about 2,8 million euros after taxes). Detroit was offering 12 millions in 3 years (and I think that, after all, THIS is his value in the US market), far less money. They're also talking about a NBA escape after every year of contract (but, at these numbers, WHO can only imagine to take him). I want to say only that: if the bigger European teams can offer for Delfino an amount of money that is more than Manu's contract, very soon they could take also players of Manu's value, and not only the midrange level players...and this contract is "only" the third most European expensive (Papaloukas and Jasikevicius earn more money).
7,3 millions after taxes x year, of course (anyway more than 2,8 million euros).
No way Delfino got 7.3M per year. That's the total of the three years.
well if we couldnt have him i have no problem with him not joining the pistons.

If you're able to read Spanish, then read all these articles: they explain well all the whole thing...there's also an interview of Carlos: he talks about playing time (come on Carlos: it's all about BIG BUCKS...), but I think that, at this amount of money, NOBODY could even think to refuse...
I'm pretty sure that's wrong because Papaloukas and Jasikevicius got deals between 4 and 5M, IRRC. 7.3M would be by far the biggest deal in Europe.That's not a creation of my mind: I'm taking this new from http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1031276
