News I have read of...

Spanoulis rumored to Efes Pilsen
Kirilenko rumored to Fenerbahce
Ilyasova rumored to Barcelona
Pekovic rumored to Galatasaray
Teodosic rumored to Barcelona
Papaloukas rumored to Barcelona

Please post what you hear

What's up with Bourosis?

He got caught doping. He's off the national team. Didn't help that he cursed out the owners as well, so he's done with OLY barring a weird turn of events.

I know that, I was wondering what his options are now. NBA?

No one knows right now. I've been waiting for him to give the NBA a shot. I think he'd do very well.

Both PAO and OLY are in bad situations. PAO is for sell and the owners of OLY have resign their position. I suspect the top players from these teams will go elsewhere including Bourousis (who may end up in the NBA after doping issues).

Fotsis AND Spanoulis are rumored to go to Efes Pilsen. Teodosic is rumored to go to Barcelona which is likely to end up true. Papaloukas is rumored to Barcelona as well, though he's not the same player as once before. Overall, PAO and OLY may not be as good as last season.

Yeah, our league is officially ****. Our league was only legitimate becuase of OLY and PAO. We're now entering the dark days of basketball. Any decent Greek talent will have to go outside of the country to make a living and succeed on an international level.

Is Ilyasova not happy in Milwaukee? And I thought Kirilenko was going to the Nets because of Prokhy?

I don't follow the Euroleague at all and if somone can inform me, that would be great.

In case of lockout.....however, I read that Ilyasova wants to go back to Europe (Barcelona or Fenerbahce) for longer years.

Okay, thanks.

Fotsis signed with Armani Jeans.

Yup, Fotsis signed for 2 years by Armani Milan.

Teodosic to CSKA Moscow it looks like with Barcelona pursuing Spanoulis hard.

Jaka Lakovic signed with Galatasaray

Kirilenko is interested in playing in ACB (more than likely with team playing in Euroleague). There are not too many options outside of Barcelona and Real Madrid who can offer money. But Barcelona looks intent on signing Ilyasova moreso than Kirilenko.

Speaking of Real Madrid, they offered Rudy Fernandez 3 million euros per year for six years. He would have to get bought out by Dallas.

Armani Milan is near to sign Ioannis Bourousis.

According to this (rather trustable) news site, Zaza Pachulia will join Besiktas (Iverson's ex club) next season. Plus the management is trying to sign another player who is able to play at the 3-4 and was an allstar last season ... no name given. Rumors flying around.

Besiktas signed with Deron Williams.

Nothing is signed yet, but there have been talks with Deron .. says Besiktas' coach Ergin Ataman.
