If there was no leak, then it's pretty unfortunate for Dennis Lindsey that Houston ended up involved.

There was no leak. The Spurs were just a bit ham handed in their attempts to hide him. I'm pretty sure that Pritch had an idea of the type of player that the Spurs wanted. He did work in their front office for a number of years. Looking at the draft board in the 20s, it wouldn't be that hard to grok our pick, call Houston, and jump in front. Being a didn't really work out for him in the long run, though.

Nice game by France after the upset of yesterday... good to see them still focused. Gelabale and Khoffi are on fire so far, and De Colo was playing much better today.

btw. Gelabale !!!?????
could it be that he is back on track to the NBA? he has been one of my favorite targets for the Spurs for years, but then I gave up to believe he will make it back after his injury. what about his contract status? (read he signed with ASVEL, but not for how long and if he has an NBA escape clause)

I've also think for year that Gelabale would be a great fit for Spurs. He had a hard time coming back form an ACL injury but he has played very well for some months.

# Since Mickael Gelabale is playing so well at the Worlds, I asked his agent Bill McCandless about his contract situation.
# Gelabale is under contract with ASVEL in France, but McCandless says a release could be negotiated.
# Only NBA team to express interest in Gelabale before the Worlds was Memphis, according to his agent.

It could be great if Spurs had some kind of connections with ASVEL.

damn, forgot about that. Gelabale already is ours. kind of. question is, would Tony hurt is own team big time to help the Spurs a little bit?

# Only NBA team to express interest in Gelabale before the Worlds was Memphis, according to his agent.

hm. what does this tell? does Memphis have doubts they can sign Henry? (or they think about trading his rights?)
because otherwise I would really not see why they need Gelabale, when they have Gay, Young, Henry, Carroll, to play SF.

Wow, really? I was looking at some apartments there as well, but then chose one that was downtown Chamonix. It's gonna be more convenient because I'll be going to school there. I want to learn french.

Argentières is nice but not to live when u are studying in Chamonix especially during the winter with the heavy car transits. Other point is Argentières is really really expensive.
There is a french thread in the international forum you can practice there !
Next time I spend some weeks in Argentières I will contact you to organize a snow ride + vin chaud party
