Batista sends a message to Maccabi Tel Aviv: I want to leave the team.
The center's agent from the Euroleague is negotiating with the "yellows" (Maccabi) for a release. On the table: a proposal from Bologna and Malaga. Fizer returning to fill the spot in a week and a half.

Batista is on the market - wants to go to a Spanish team. Maybe will end up at Bologna, Malaga is another team that has shown interest. Marcus Fizer is getting healthy, and is due to join Maccabi.

I was blown away at this new - i love Batista's game, and was really happy with him at maccabi. I scoured the article looking for an explanation, and it never really became clear to me.

Coach doesn't use him a lot because he thinks he is predictable in offense and with a limited range of moves and Batista wants out. Simple as that.

if Batista had a European passport he would find a lot more teams to be interested in him, but right now most teams got their non-Euro spots already covered.

Now that Maccabi switched coachs (again), Batista says he wants to stay.

Can't blame him, Birnbaum was just not up to coaching this team. Pini Gershon is a great coach with a lot of credibility and respect - Anthony Parker even came out and said how thrilled he was for Pini to be back at the Nokia.
