    "Ebi to the Spurs" is officially dead.
    Why, who is this guy?

    Stephen Jackson's agent, among others. He's probably the worst agent in the league as far as teams not liking to deal with him. Supposedly Pop refuses to deal with him at all, so RC negotiates with him if they need to deal with his players. He's screwed the Spurs over in the past.

    Oh, thanks for the info. If no one wants to deal with him, why does anybody sign with him?

    Well, he gets things done for his players one way or another. For example, SJackson didn't accept the Spurs offer and then ended up going to the Hawks for a small one year deal. In the end it was better for him because he ended up in Indy for a sizable contract the following season.

    Albeit without adding another ring to his collection. So in that regards it sucks, but I guess it's not like he's on a no talent team.

    League Won't Let Ebi In NBDL
    23rd October, 2005 - 5:50 am
    St. Paul Pioneer Press - Two exhibition games remain for the Timberwolves. It remains to be seen whether that's all the time left in Ndudi Ebi's career as a Wolf.

    The NBA has informed the Wolves that Ebi will not be granted an exception to play in the NBA Development League, which could give the Wolves more incentive to waive the former first-round pick by the end of the month. The Wolves had pe ioned the league for an exception so that Ebi could get more playing time in an attempt to get his career off the ground.

    But the collective bargaining agreement states that only players in their first two seasons are eligible. The league found no wiggle room in the bargaining agreement.

    "We've informed the team that the collective bargaining agreement specifically says players in their first two years," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Saturday. "It won't be possible for Ndudi Ebi or any other player who's further along than his second year to go to the developmental league."

    Wolves coach Dwane Casey said Saturday he was not surprised by the league's decision. Casey said Wolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale called Stu Jackson, NBA senior vice president of basketball operations, to inquire about options regarding Ebi.

    "Kevin called Stu just to see more than anything else," Casey said. "It kind of got blown out of proportion." [READ]

    Timberwolves: Exception for Ebi not in the cards
    by Fanball Staff - Fanball.com
    Monday, October 24, 2005

    News
    The NBA refused to issue an exception that would've allowed them to ship forward Ndudi Ebi to the developmental league, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The Wolves sought the exception in order to given Ebi more playing time without keeping him on the roster. The team will decide by Friday whether or not to keep him on the roster or waive him.

    At this point the Wolves may be better off paying Ebi what remains on his contract and giving his roster spot to someone who may actually see the court this season. Ebi wasn't thrilled when he learned about a possible "demotion" claiming he belongs in this league but really, what has he done to justify that statement? When it comes to Ebi, keep him far from your fantasy roster.

    No, User is 6'4" with an 89" wingspan ... it's not weird looking at all, and he's really good at reaching on the top shelf.
    Christy there is no way. 89'' = 7'5'' wingspan. Chris would look like he had two elephants noses coming out of his shoulders. He would for sure be able to dunk. I'd say 79" would be pretty long in itself. That would put him at 6'7'' which would be 3 inches over his height.
