Go away.
It seem from scouting sources that Houston Rockets have been in contact with Igor Rakocevic to join them. They would like to sign him to be starting point guard for them.
He is free agent at end of season. Asking price is say to be $12 millions for 3 years but 3rd year would be team option. This could maybe be true rumors after Alston was traded and he play in same team as Prigioni (old team of Scola) who Rockets have been scouting for long time now.
For Rockets fans he has won FIBA European championship in 2001 and FIBA World Championship in 2002 with Yugoslavia after victory over Argentina in championship. Very few players have won both European championship and world championship. Even Spain national team of current time has never done this.
So he is product of legendary Yugoslavia system.
Personal opinion of this player is he can fit perfect in offense with team that have Yao as center. However defense would be issue for him because in Euroleague he is not good defender. Of course is much better than someone like Jasikevicius in defense. But maybe he would be OK because Navarro also sucks in defense in Euroleague. In NBA it is not that important since rules prevent players from really guarding in perimeter anyway. Not like in Euroleague where bad defenders on perimeter are big problem for clubs.
But in offense he is one player who would punish NBA defense badly if they left him open to make double teams of Yao.
6-4 player can play point guard or shooting guard. Excellent 3 point shooter and vertical jump is 43 inches.

But he is product of legendary Yugoslavia system.
It is not full for next year.
He has been offered MLE type contract for next year from Pacers, Lakers, Celtics and Knicks.
I guess you is one of re s that think all players never get better but just always stay the same as when they are young.
He was also ask about it by press in Spain and he said he will think about it in the summer and he will seriously consider it.

Rakocevic has an NBA
2009-02-24 09:55
TAU Ceramica star Igor Rakocevic has recieved a serious offer from an NBA club to sign a three-year contract at the end of the season. Former Red Star captain has been playing the best season in his career, leading the Euroleague and ACB league in scoring. Rakocevic was a member of Minnesota Timberwolves in 2002/2003 season.
- I have not made the final decicion yet, but there is a possibility for me to return to NBA. Being 30 years old I thought that part of my career is over, but I recieved a good offer. I will make the final decision in the summer after I think it through, since that will probably be my last big contract - Rakocevic said.
Unofficial sources say that Rakocevic has an offer from Houston Rockets for a three year contract worth around 12 milion dollars.
And once again Rockets fans can STFU about accuse me of being liar.
I don't see how Rakocevic would make much difference. Doesn't make much sence to bring a PG who would be a defensive liability, in a conference loaded with the best PGs in the league. He might be a good offensive player, but that wouldn't be enough, and he's not a youngster either, so let's see:
Rakocevic > Parker?
Rakocevic > CP3?
Rakocevic > D Williams?
Rakocevic > Billups?
Rakocevic > Nash?
The answer to the above questions is NO!
Vujacic
I very happy that Igor come to America
He make Machine very happy
He have sexy poot
If Igor come to Los Angeles, Machine show him good time "wink"
Sexy sexy time because I Machine!
Vujacic say
Prignoni bald man not very sexy but Machine welcome him anyway. Machine always happy because Machine know where to put the ball.
Go ahead and throw this up there Rakocevic > Brooks? and the answer will still be the same. Houston isn't paying 4 mil per for a backup.
his defense is not great but certainly much better than defense of Brooks.
Houston isn't replacing Brooks, that's the point. Your guy is already 30 and has already washed out of the league before (speaking of washing out...sounds like another one of your favorite PGs doesn't it?)
he is very good player but not close to Rakocevic. Rockets learn about Prigioni mainly from watching Scola play in TAU. Obvious that they now learn about Rakocevic from watching Prigioni play in TAU.
Pablo is better natural play maker, better passer, better at run pick and roll and better in defense but as overall players is not even close. Igor is MUCH superior to him.
Leading scorer of Spanish league and Euroleague sucks?
Player that has won both FIBA European championship and FIBA World championship suck?
Player that has 43 inch vertical jump suck?
So far MVP of both Spain and Euroleague this year sucks?
Best player in best team in Spain sucks?
Player that is better this year in same team that Scola played on in Spain than Scola ever was in same team sucks?
You = dumbass
There is probably many NBA teams that will offer him good contracts this summer. His season so far this year is way better than season Rudy Fernandez had last year.
Oh god, it's the new Vsuck....I don't think I can go through another Killbill slurp fest again.
You are funny guy. Brooks is certainly very good player. But Igor is basically same exact player, but 6-4 more athletic, much stronger, better shooter.

Once again you are idiot. He did not wash out of league you moron. There was a problem with him and Garnett and he was bench because of it. You keep have strange mental confusions. Player like Andre Barret who is 3rd string player in Euroleague now = "wash out of NBA" same way he is about to be cut in his Euroleague club.
Player like Spanoulis or Rakocevic who quit after problem with other player on team or coach do not "wash out of league".
Your IQ is very low.
