    Sorry for not knowing the details of signing deadlines, but if this is going to happen, it has to happen by July 1, right? Is this going to take until then? I thought someone said this would happen soonish so the Spurs had time to figure out what FAs to look at. Someone enlighten me, please.

    I am not sure what the date is for signing foreign players. I know teams cannot sign FA until July 8th (when the salary cap is set), but they can negotiate July1. I am not sure if this applies to foreign players as well (obviously not, because supposedly the Spurs have offered IB a contract)

    As I said in the translation if he goes to Spurs he would announce it July 5th according to that report.

    He can know they want him and understand what type of offer he can get but Spurs cannot fax him the actual contract until July 1. It means he can have understanding of what they will offer but he cannot see the papers until July 1.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bourousis did not end up on the Spurs, but I believe KBP. I'm crossing my fingers for Bourousis.

    Well it is say in Greece that after July 1 Popovich will try to take care of the signing in person. It seems Bourousis is the #1 priority Spurs have this summer.

    Here is more on Ream Madrid issue.

    Messina wants Velickovic and Nesterovic in Madrid with him PDF Print E-mail
    2009-06-18 14:43
    ImageIt is a matter of time before Real Madrid announces Ettore Messina as their new coach for the next three seasons, making him the best paid coach in Europe, earning about 2 million euros per season. Messina has already started planning for next seasons and his two main targets are Velckovic and Nesterovic.

    Messina wanted Velckovic since he was sitting at CSKA's bench and he still wants him now and seems ready to make a move to get him to Madrid, paying Partizan his buy-out which is estimated around 500k euros.

    According to some rumours Messina would also like to work with Rasho Nesterovic again and is trying to convince him to leave NBA and return to Europe.

    Other targets of Real Madrid are the Lithuanian shooting guard Rimantas Kaukenas and Giannis Bourousis, both free agents at this point, while Lazaros Papadopoulos who was on a loan is expected to return with the new coach.

    My friend in Greece said that it was said in radio that Real Madrid manager said they offered Bourousis contract and his agent and him told him they could not accept because he will be starting center for Spurs next year!

    We need a v-bookie on this for sure. One day he's signing with the Spurs. Next day he's just using the Spurs. Next day after that 5 other teams are ahead of the Spurs with better offers. Next day we hear the girlfriend of a coach who wants to remain anonymous that he's definitely signing with the Spurs.

    Will it ever end?

    I guess all we can do is wait and see. I don't think there are a lot of better options out there. The biggest question is if and how Bourousis's play translates to the NBA. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

    I think most would be happy with a young, semi-athletic, semi-skilled starting center for ~3M per year. If IB is that, most welcome him, he seems to have some upside. What everyone is questioning are his motives and willingness to play in the NBA.

    A radio station from Madrid that broadcasts in Greek, specifically, but not EXCLUSIVELY, for the friends of the son of the president of the real madrid.

    Madrid is buying everybody these days.
    Kaką, Cristiano and now Bourousis.
    Bourousis will play goalie, Kaką will be sent to the Spurs and Cristiano will play in the basketball team.

    Now, the links to the Outer Circles of Uranus Colonizers.....

    He's added a new twist to the "Jason Terry Surprise;" the kiss is misdirection.

    Just as long as he averages more than 4 rebounds ala Matt Bonner. Then it'll be a good pickup.

    How classic would it be if KBP got un-pinked the same day Bourousis signs with the Spurs, then immediately starts 10 threads and gets pinked again...
