scola's an all star?

He's not coming...RC said it.

We'll see. Don't forget that is also the same Pop who started a 19 year old French rookie at point once upon a time.

Once upon a time.......

He's definitely not the same Pop as back then. We all know about the "man-love gone wild" for Van Exel and Finley. Here's to hoping he reverts.

Euroleague powerhouse Tau Ceramica have announced the signing of forward Lior Eliyahu, whose draft rights are currently owned by the Houston Rockets.

Eliyahu signed a three year contract with an option for a fourth after playing last season with Maccabi Elite, where he averaged 14 points and 6.6 rebounds in 14 Euroleague games.

He was chosen as the 2008-09 Euroleague December MVP, posting one-month averages of 20.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in three straight Maccabi wins, and is a regular on the Israeli national team.

He said he's going into the summer with the idea that he isn't coming.

Not that "he's not coming end of story"

[Malice]

The offseason has gone perfect so far.

If Splitter came over...

Nah... Not letting it even ENTER my mind.

No I refuse to think about that possiblity....

This is an interesting move by Tau. I hope the Spurs go hard after Sheed unless they already have plans for Splitter. Either way, I can wait another year for Tiago to come over.

Side note: I've heard people raving about De Colo, especially his passing. I'd love to see him get a serious shot at making the roster and I've seen quotes from TP that he'd love to have him in SA.

I looked at his highlight reel, and he looks VERY comparable to the highlight reel I saw on Ginobilibi when we drafted him...not saying he is another Manu, but you never know till they play. Anyway, RC said on the radio this morning that De Colo would likely be overseas the next year or two.

i was excited about bringing splitter over this year.

but the drafting of Blair, Gist possibly coming over, and Ian finally being healthy means we already have 3 essential rookies to the team that are still unproven.

adding splitter would be a 4th.

hes got great upside but i think i like the idea of him coming over next summer and us signing a proven, vet big like sheed that will help us in the playoffs.

I still haven't forgotten Tiago Splitter blocking Amar'e Stoudemire's dunk attempt in '07 at the FIBA Tounament in Vegas.

I know it's a stretch, but does anyone have a link or gif of this? Thanks in advance.

A rock is better than Ron Howard at starting center.

Sweet, whenever he can get here is OK with me.
