I will say what it says but my Hebrew ability is poor. This is close though.
"Now Thinking Ahead: Gist Is Candidate To Maccabi
Italian League club Biella forward James Gist was chosen by San Antonio Spurs last NBA draft. Gist is considered a great athlete with a good shot.
Only a few days ago Maccabi Tel Aviv made it to Israeli final, where they will try to win the championship, to try to win the only le they can for the season, but behind the scenes, apparently, the club managers already think about the next season.
James Gist is the name of the new candidate for the yellows. He is a 6-9 (2.06 meters) forward, a graduate of College of Maryland, selected second round of last NBA draft by San Antonio Spurs.
Gist, this season with Biella, is considered a good player with a shot from the outside, but above all an excellent athlete, his main strength is amazing finish ability around the rim. In the Italian League he averages 12.7 points and more than 6 rebounds per game.
And a bigto the fake Greek for not giving once again the source where he get the info.
Yeah even the video in the link didn't even talk about Gist, but more about Carlos Arroyo.
Lame.
Plus, Gist has said that he want's to come back to the U.S and said he would willing go play overseas for the spurs to develop.
I've heard some good thing about him and how well he's played. That just tells me how much of the Euro talent over there isn't as great as this idiot says they are.
Bring out the Gist!!
And a bigI gave the source. Everyone can see I gave the source in my post.
I guess I should report how you keep harass me always for no reason.
No, you don't.I gave the source. Everyone can see I gave the source in my post.

Report me as much as you want.
Now the best thing you should do is to stop all your BS with sentences like "I will say what it says but my Hebrew ability is poor."
Truth : you learn the info on an English speaking board (English is your mother tongue), you put the article on a online translator and you fix manually the mistakes.
Well, if Tau signed him, they could recoup some of the money they are losing big time....
Your english is way better when you translate from hebrew.
A copy and paste guy eh?No, you don't.

Well kori did say KBP did that.
Hope he does leave though..
if spurs dont sign james gists,
they better start lookin for new supporters!!!!
No it is NOT. I have say over and over my English is excellent.Your english is way better when you translate from hebrew.
Your joke is foolish. Maccabi starting PF Eliyahu is leaving them to go to Spanish club TAU. So Maccabi now does not have a starter at PF. So actually what you post is actually only make this much more possible to be true.Well, if Tau signed him, they could recoup some of the money they are losing big time....
The reason Maccabi wants Gist is because their starting PF Eliyahu is going to TAU for more money. One way or the other TAU will do whatever it can to Spurs.
I for one appreciate the contributions of KBP. He may be a bit rough around the edges but the info he provides is usually good (or at least interesting). And it's usually something new here (rare this time of year).
Even if he's really not Greek but a guy living in his parents' basement in Pacoima, he contributes more than he irritates.
Bruno rocks.No, you don't.

This is bad news in the short-term no matter how you slice it.
-Maccabi offers Gist more money than the Spurs and Gist decides to go there instead of come to the NBA.
-The Spurs think that Maccabi will be a good experience for Gist and they tell him to go ahead and sign.
-The Spurs now have compe ion for Gist's services so they can't take as much time as they previously wanted. On the Italian team, the Spurs knew they could get Gist whenever they wanted.
In the long-term, this is actually good news. Maccabi has very good scouts and they have a history of going after diamonds in the rough. If Maccabi actually wants Gist (the Israel sports media isn't exactly known for their accuracy), this could be a sign that Gist is a pretty damn good prospect.
who cares.
not like Popovich would have played him anyway.
But all the downsides to this are premised on the notion that Gist has any interest in playing in Israel, right?
If he wants to come to the US and try to catch on with SA or another NBA team, he'll come to camp at least.
If he doesn't make a team and doesn't want to play D-League, he can go get more experience in Israel. Assuming they are actually interested in him.
Like I say Maccabi's starting PF Eliyahu (Rockets draft pick) is going to TAU for more money than Maccabi can pay. So they now have no starting PF. So Maccabi needs a PF. And Gist wants to move up in level for sure. It can be NBA or Euroleague but even if Maccabi it is much higher level than where he play this year.
So I think this rumor has strong chance to be true also because Maccabi will give him pretty good salary also.
Oh this makes me day as I penciled him in here next year as a guy who could help. Offseason again begins with this shyt! GOOD LORD WHEN IS IT GONNA STOP? We finally draft all American players as some said to and he might sign overseas, good lord help us.
let's see it like this. if the Spurs think he isn't ready to make the regular rotation yet, they should keep him in Europe.
and if he stays in Europe, Maccabi is one of the best places for his further development.
(the only young player I can remember, who didn't become a better player there, was a point guard with the name Beno Udrih.)
even if Maccabi is far from the level of some years ago and no longer a powerhouse, they are still a quality team, that will for sure make at least the Euroleague top 16 and this will mean some high quality compe ion and experience for him.
something he will never ever get in the D league.
(IMHO D-league is more or less a lost year for any player with NBA potential.)
a side note: we know about the interest of the Spurs in drafting Omri Casspi.
if the Spurs in fact get Casspi, it is also likely that they keep in Europe for some more time. as far as I remember, Casspi has extended his contract last summer for 2 years.
(and Casspi might also withdraw again this year)
however, maybe the Spurs also have a plan of developing Gist and Casspi together on a very good Euroleague team with a great reputation about scouting and developing young players?
I just hope that if Gist returns to Spurs a few years later, he won't be traded to the Rockets.
because Bonner is such a stud???
ing Spurs office better sign Gist
Don't belive that. it's a junk-news, like every player is near maccabi this summer.
