Christina ModelI just want to know her name already.
He plays as starter in the premiere Italian league club Montespachi.
Javtokas have another great game in Eurocup. For season player rankings of Dynamo Moscow is
Boki Nachbar - 18.2
Robertas Javtokas - 17.6
Travis Hansen - 15.4
Jannero Pargo - 10.3
Hollis Price - 9.8
Darjus Lavrinovic - 6.6
And remember Javtokas make impact on defense end by be big body in lane that can keep players from goal which is impact Nachbar do not have. If he keep up such play he has chance for another MVP in the second level of Europe.
i hope the SPURS will give JAV a shot maybe next season. i have watched him play few times lately thru the russian channel in my dishnetwork tv.. he is a more athletic and taller version of oberto. he block shots and move his feet well in defense. just my two cents.
A new Vlade Divac ?
Folks, give it up! This dude aint coming here. If there was any hope of him coming before now, the wretched domestic economic situation has all but made it impossible. With the cash he's making now versus the salary limitations, there's no way he plays for the Spurs.
Need a more recent example? Tiago Splitter.
Time to give up the dream, everyone.
Except the difference between the dollar and Euro isn't as extreme as it was.
Also Senor, Javotkas was a second round pick, not locked into a "gauranteed" salary like Splitter a first round pick.
Point taken, Eric. And a good one, at that.
I don't know how much Javo is making, but I'm pretty certain that the Spurs do not have the available cash needed to lure him away. Especially considering how they're trying to prepare for the big free agent summer of 2010.
I believe if his dream was to play in the NBA, he would've come over by now.
He had a chance to come over but he was "insulted" he had to compete for a position on the team with francisco elson.
Can't blame him for being insulted, but the compe ion for that spot wouldn't have lasted long.
i still think the SPURS still have him as an option once oberto's contract is over. JAV is only 28 i think.
He is make same as 1.5 million euros but he get paid in dollars because he plays in Russian club. So at moment is like $2 million US dollars. But also remember this is net salary and club pay all taxes and agent fees. So really he is make what in NBA is like about $4 million.
updates?
With the current CBA, I don't see how the NBA teams can compete with European teams for quality players. Any of the Russian teams look like sugar daddies.
I've given up on the idea of the Spurs bringing over any draft-rights assets playing in Europe outside of James Gist.
Alot of those teams were having financial difficulty though I thought?
Thats how Kristic got released is it not?
No matter what I don't think we will be able to find any decent bigs in this years draft. So do you try and trade for Darko, Kwame, or Marcus Camby or do you try to bring this kidd in?
I am so tired of seeing a 6'9 player trying to play center it just drives me crazy. Look we are never going to have a David Robinson but I just want a slightly taller Malik Rose and I would be one happy camper...Ok..a taller Malik with better hands....Is that to much to ask for?
At this point who would be better Darko or Javtokas? I keep forgeting that Darko is only what..23 years old and he is a legit 7'0 footer but I wonder what everyone else thinks?
As far as the money is concerned the banks in Europe are going to start to crumble. You are allready seeing real problems in Russia that will have a huge effect in Europe...... Germany banks are pretty much worthless right now....So I don't think we will have that issue that Europe is way better then U.S.
No matter how many times you repeat it, it does not make it true.
I'm afraid I've been a bit too involved in my work to see how much the financial crisis has affected the Russian teams the past 3-4 months, but you may be correct on Nenad's situation.
Perhaps there will be leveling but the US economy and the NBA financial situation isn't going to improve any time soon. Prior to the November timeframe, the Russian teams had cash.
Hope this helps:
government minister said Russia's [COLOR=#0000cc! important][COLOR=#0000cc! important]economy[/COLOR][/COLOR] shrank by 7 percent in the first quarter, a news agency reported Thursday, marking a staggering downturn after eight years of oil-fueled growth.
«These figures are worse than we expected,» Deputy Economic Minister Andrei Klepach was quoted as saying by ITAR-Tass during a conference in Kiev, Ukraine. He was citing preliminary figures.
Investors fled Russia in recent months as the economy headed toward its most severe downturn since the 1998 [COLOR=#0000cc! important][COLOR=#0000cc! important]financial[/COLOR][/COLOR] collapse, when the government defaulted on its sovereign [COLOR=#0000cc! important][COLOR=#0000cc! important]debt[/COLOR][/COLOR] and millions of Russian saw their savings wiped out overnight.
US media makes this confusing for Americans. For big Russian clubs "financial difficulty" means a owner wants a new 100 story office or that a club sponsor or the state of Russia cut some funds.
For NBA team is means losing money. Losing money means nothing for these teams. If they want a player they buy him if they get tired of him the sell his contract or loan him. US media has no understanding of how things work there.
Last word I hear is Javtokas plans on NBA this summer. So if Spurs will not bring him then there would be trade.
Naturally the Spurs will sign the sucky foreign big since they won't likely be able to deal his rights to score Holt Cat some additional coin.
Russian teams and owners are dependent on Russia's wealth which is in turn determined by the price of oil. Oil prices go up, and those Oil Baron's over there will be raking it in.
