<description><![CDATA[Remember when this dude had hops back in college? If you believe the hype he is going to be joining ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 435px"><img class="  " src="http://wallpapers.dpiq.org/wallpapers/54/Dallas_Mavericks%2C_NBA%2C_Jerry_Stackhouse.jpg" alt="Remember when this dude had hops back in college?" width="425" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Remember when this dude had hops back in college?</p></div>
<p>If you believe the hype he is going to be joining a playoff contending team in the ATL&#8230;<a href="//blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2009/09/22/crawford-makes-great-first-impression/?cxntfid=blogs_hawks','21')">This is the word on the street</a> from the ATL Journal and Constitution&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>THE WAFER RULE</strong></p>
<p>Day after day veteran free agent <strong>Jerry Stackhouse</strong> turns heads during these informal workouts.</p>
<p>I haven’t found a player yet that isn’t convinced that he could help this Hawks team this season as versatile specialists off the bench.</p>
<p>Whether or not that connection ever comes to fruition is obviously not up to said players or any of us around here.</p>
<p>But let me offer up a cautionary tale about watching a free agent dazzle on the practice court all summer only to find work elsewhere once training camp rolls around. <strong>Von Wafer</strong> [breakout season in Houston last year and now a teammate of former Hawks swingman <strong>Josh Childress</strong> in Greece] put on a somewhat similar type of show last summer, wowing everyone with his shooting stroke from deep and his ability to finish at the rim without any regard for whoever and whatever might be in his way.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/HbQ3xwXgFzw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/HbQ3xwXgFzw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Wafer would have helped this Hawks team tremendously last year but a decision was made to go in a different direction (one that, it should be pointed out, helped net 47 wins). It’ll be interesting to see if the Hawks look past Stackhouse (for whatever reasons) and break the Wafer Rule.</p>
<p>It’s not my decision, my team, my money or my main concern right now. But I don’t know that I’d be able to rationalize not trying to sign Stackhouse up if he goes anywhere this season and plays half as well as he’s played since I’ve been watching this summer.</p></blockquote>
<p>Who doesn&#8217;t need another shooter off the bench?  Lakers, are you listening?  With the way that Vujacic finished last year, adding Stack would be all peaches and cream.  That would be a perfect guy to help run the second unit on the floor.  I would rather have him with me, then worry about having him against me&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="diop diop" src="http://theultimatefan.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/diop-diop.jpg?w=450&#038;h=208#38;h=208" alt="diop diop" width="450" height="208" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">You guys probably remember The Daily Diop from my other blog at<a href="http://theultimatefan.wordpress.com"> The Daily Shizz</a>. <a href="http://theultimatefan.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/the-diop-diop-daily-72709/">Click here</a> so you can read the first paragraph of what this series is about. You done with that yet? Okay, let&#8217;s go, but first, let me say something. The Daily Diop articles will be posted exclusively here on the FootBasket blog and the FootBasket Bleacher Report account. Okay, so let&#8217;s get this party started.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">First off, let&#8217;s give a warm welcoming happy birthday to the greatest point guard in NBA history. If you are looking for Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, and those type of guys; you are obviously probably a big old dumbass. You all know who it probably is, and yes, if you have said Magic Johnson and have written over 100 posts <a href="http://footbasket.forumotion.com/sports-talk-gettin-in-the-real-beef-f1/get-some-articles-up-t2.htm#2">on the forum</a>, you are now a writer for us! But anyways, let&#8217;s get to the point of this paragraph, it&#8217;s Magic Johnson! For more of this stellar basketball player, why don&#8217;t we go to True Hoop and see what they <a href="http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-43-45/Magic-and-American-Myth.html">have to offer</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So Quentin Richardson has been <a href="http://layupdrill.com/2009/08/quentin-richardston-traded-again/">traded&#8230;again</a>. This will be the fourth time he has been traded by an NBA team this off-season, and all those four times he has been traded have occurred in just two little freaking months. Two months! TWO DAMN MONTHS! I am with Mr. Slave of South Park, &#8220;Jesus Christ!&#8221; But dude, we can&#8217;t anyone give Q-Rich <a href="http://footbasket.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/give-q-rich-a-break-traded-fourth-time-this-off-season/">a break</a>! He definitely needs one but he is now with a team in which he can win an NBA Finals title with, the Miami Heat. With such stars like Dwayne Wade, Michael Beasley, and Jermaine O&#8217;Neal, I think Q-Rich will be alright. What do you think? Comment below or you are not a bro but a hoe, nah just kidding. That&#8217;s kind of harsh, don&#8217;t you think? Yeah, I thought so.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The Denver Nuggets finally haven&#8217;t given up a player this off-season. We first witnessed Dahntay Jones leaving Denver for the Indiana Pacers, bringing his defensive-stopness to the  squad. Then there is Linas Kleiza, who left the whole NBA to play overseas with Josh Childress and Von Wafer to play for the Olympiakos. With that happening, the Nuggets had to retain somebody besides losing him. That&#8217;s when the <a href="http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/nba-blogs-news/24824-source-nuggets-re-sign-anthony-carter.html">Dimensions reported</a> that Anthony Carter will be staying with Denver for a one-year $1.3M deal. Congrats Denver, and mostly to you Anthony.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So HoopsWorld.com <a href="http://www.hoopsworld.com/HeadlineStories.asp?lc=NBA&#38;c=1&#38;TEAM_ID=&#38;PLAYER_ID=&#38;hd=20090816#STORY_20968">had a talk</a> with San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Poppovich. Guess what he had to offer to them? Nothing! Ain&#8217;t that great? No. So let&#8217;s get to the goddamn point of what I am going to say. Coach Poppovich says that power forward and second-round draft pick DeJuan Blair will play right away. That&#8217;s great! That really is. And with such other additions like Antonio McDyess and Richard Jefferson, I really don&#8217;t see why the Spurs aren&#8217;t the<a href="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2009/07/25/nba-talk-are-the-san-antonio-spurs-the-team-to-beat-in-2009-10-season/"> team to beat </a>coming into the 2009-10 NBA season. With Q-Rich <a href="http://www.lebasketbawl.com/q-ball-continues-his-around-the-nba-tour-t-wolves-trade-him-to-heat/">on his NBA tour</a>, Baron Davis <a href="http://www.lebasketbawl.com/yo-baron-why-have-you-become-such-a-bitter-pud/">has been reported</a> to be PUD as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Pack your bags Leon Powe because we are heading to Cleveland to play for the Browns! Wait, that isn&#8217;t right? Shouldn&#8217;t it be Frowns like the blog at ClevelandFrowns.com indicate? Hell no. Powe left the Boston Celtics to play with LeBron James and the Cavaliers. Jeff Sack <a href="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2009/08/13/powe-says-all-the-right-things-as-he-becomes-a-cavalier/">brings up</a> the latest dish while Graham Brunell <a href="http://mvn.com/celtics17/2009/08/are-you-smarter-than-a-fifth-grader.html">observed</a> that Powe is not smarter than a freaking fifth grader! Now with Powe not smarter than fifth grader, how can he possibly be able to do <a href="http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/228126/lego-han-solo-carbonite-12_medium.jpg">this</a> then? Oh right, he didn&#8217;t. Here&#8217;s something for random: Are you <a href="http://cdn1.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/76045/robosaurusvb8_large.jpg">pissed off</a> yet?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Thanks to Jared Wade, he <a href="http://www.bothteamsplayedhard.net/2009/08/13/svg-is-web-2-0/">has discovered</a> that SVG is Web 2.0! Isn&#8217;t that great? That&#8217;s actually pretty cool and I like what he had to offer to us with the Internet world. So thanks for Jared, and he brought out a cool picture as well. And this time, you don&#8217;t have to click on that annoying hyperlink to see a picture or article or anything else like that to use hyperlinks in.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Die wohl wichtigste Stadtmeisterschaft der Basketballwelt lassen sich gerade die Roten gegenwärtig wirklich fett Kohle kosten und suchen vornehmlich auf den vorderen Bankplätzen der NBA. Ein Deal und viele Gerüchte.</p>
<p><!--more-->12,2 Millionen US-Dollar für 2 Jahre laut <a href="http://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/3225700462" target="_blank">yahoo-twitter</a>, das sind 6,1 Mio USD/Jahr oder schlappe vierkommadrei Millionen €. Das ist der neue Vertrag von Linas Kleiza. Das wäre irgendwie sowas wie 1,5-ALBA-Kader, sollten das die marktüblichen Nettoangaben sein. Daran kann man aber zweifeln, denn europäische Quellen schreiben von <a href="http://www.sport24.gr/html/ent/047/ent.309047.asp" target="_blank">vier Millionen USD</a> für zwei Jahre. Wahrscheinlich liegt die Wahrheit irgendwo in der Mitte. <a href="http://forums.interbasket.net/f11/summer-signings-and-rumors-vol-v-10611/p4.html#post308758" target="_blank">Auf interbasket</a> wird jedenfalls fleissig gestritten.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/pD2ncuy3WF8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/pD2ncuy3WF8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Dazu gibt es die anhaltenden Gerüchte um die Verpflichtung von Von Wafer. Nochmal 5 Millionen Währungseinheiten für zwei Jahre. Traut man Stimmen auf IBN, laufen da heute die Fristen der Deals ab und ein echter NBA-Star soll noch an der Angel hängen. Ist es doch AI? Es könnte eine spannende Nacht werden.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/cXQLPR0laNw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/cXQLPR0laNw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Es klingt  jedenfalls beeindruckend, was da trotz der Krise an Geld verballert wird, um die roten Trikots zu füllen. Aber wir erinnern uns dunkel: Josh Childress nach Griechenland, das war ein wirklicher Aufreger: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3501488" target="_blank">36 Mio USD brutto für drei Jahre</a>? 20 Millionen Dollar netto? Das sind <a href="http://www.in-the-game.org/?page_id=799" target="_blank">4,5 Mio € </a>pro Jahr. Doch hat sich das Geld für die folgenden Highlights und Platz Vier beim FinalFour gelohnt?</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/7lce4PZl0hA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/7lce4PZl0hA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Dagegen nimmt sich ja ein Kleiza- oder ein Von Wafer-Deal geradezu spartanische Züge an. Und alleine vom Nettosalär eines Childress könnte man drei bis vier kleinere Clubs der BBL komplett durchfüttern. Es sind schlicht andere Welten.</p>
<p>Eines ist dabei diese Saison neu: Die griechische Liga hat diese Saison die Anzahl der zulässigen Amerikaner von zwei auf drei raufgesetzt. Das heißt 50 % mehr Amerikaner (die mit mazedonischen oder bulgarischen Pässen mal ausgenommen)  für die griechische Liga. Da müsste ja neben Von Wafer und Childress noch ein dritter Amerikaner aus der NBA drin sein, oder? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Und was macht Panathinaikos? Die bleiben irgendwie relativ cool. Der Umbau findet in der nächsten Generation auf der Bank statt: Tepic und Calathes statt Hazivrettas und Kecman (via <a href="http://www.ballineurope.com/euroleague-transfers-table/" target="_blank">Ballineurope</a>).</p>
<p>Wenn ich die Deals in diesen Dimensionen  lese, muss ich immer an die flapsige Bemerkung eines Szenekenners nach dem FinalFour-Aus von Oly denken. Es lautete sinngemäß: 40 Millionen, für ein Spiel &#8211; und nächstes Jahr wieder das gleiche.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Durante estos ultimos años se ha dado el caso de que varios jugadores NBA vienen a europa , la principal  causa ha sido la diferencia del euro contra el dolar aunque algunos dicen que es debido a que la NBA es muy individualista. Aquí unos casos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/euro-dolar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-146" title="FO01029335" src="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/euro-dolar.jpg" alt="FO01029335" width="490" height="332" /></a></p>
<p><!--more-->1º: <strong>Josh Childress</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La pricinpal causa de su llegada a Grecia fue su contrato: 20 millones a razón de 3 años.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ha sido casi una decepcion debido a que a promediado 10 puntos por partido cuando se esperaba que tras ser importante en Atlanta fuera capaz de ser una estrella en europa.</p>
<p><a href="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/josh_childress1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-150" title="josh_childress" src="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/josh_childress1.jpg" alt="josh_childress" width="510" height="474" /></a></p>
<p>2º: <strong>Primoz Brezec</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Fue elegido en la posición 27 del Draft de la NBA de 2000 por Indiana Pacers. Tres años después y tras jugar escasos minutos, fue elegido en el draft de expansión por los Bobcats.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Este año ha firmado por la <strong>Lottomatica de Roma</strong> a cambio de 18 millones por 4 años.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ha conseguido demostrar que esta hecho para jugar en europa y el haberse ganado ese contrato.</p>
<p><a href="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/brezec_21_show2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-153" title="brezec_21_show" src="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/brezec_21_show2.jpg" alt="brezec_21_show" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>3º: <strong>Carlos Delfino:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Delfino juega de alero y es uno de los argentinos que brilló en la NBA. En la temporada 2007/08 de la NBA jugó para los <strong>Toronto Raptors</strong>, donde cumplió su mejor campaña en la NBA.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Actualmente integra la plantilla del <strong>Khimki BC</strong> de la Superleague rusa. Se dice sea el jugador mejor pagado de esa liga y el tercer jugador mejor pagado de Europa.</p>
<p><a href="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/khimkiiurbentia1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154" title="khimkiiurbentia" src="http://born4basket.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/khimkiiurbentia1.jpg" alt="khimkiiurbentia" width="400" height="290" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" title="Copyright 2009 NBAE via Getty Images" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/d0peb01/nate_robinson_getty_images.jpg" alt="" width="598" height="398" /></p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2009/07/14/childress-is-headed-back-to-greece/" target="_self">Josh Childress</a> wird auch nächste Saison für Olympiakos Piräus in Griechenland spielen und er könnte <a href="http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/blog/2009/07/n8_the_greek.html" target="_self">Besuch von Nate Robinson oder Ramon Sessions</a> bekommen. Olympiakos lockt wieder einmal mit viel Geld. Geld, was NBA Vereine nicht in Robinson investieren wollen (<strong>Update:</strong> Jetzt ist bekannt geworden, dass Olympiacos Nate <a href="http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/ny-spnate1512970069jul14,0,2385843.story" target="_self">$ 1o Millionen für zwei Jahre</a> anbietet). Die Knicks hätten wohl nichts dagegen einzuwenden, wenn Robinson nach Griechenland ginge. Sie würden in diesem Fall die Rechte an ihm behalten und ihn auch weiterhin traden können.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><!--more weiterlesen--></p>
<p>Dahingegen kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass Sessions nach Griechenland wechseln wird und auch Robinson würde wohl eher ein weniger lukratives Angebot von einem NBA Team annehmen. Ob die Qualifying Offer der Knicks ist fraglich.</p>
<p>Die Utah Jazz und Carlos Boozer haben sich im gegenseitigen Einvernehmen darauf geeinigt, <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/07142009/sports/knicks/lee__nate_deals_must_happen_soon_179098.htm" target="_self">dass Boozer getradet werden wird</a>. Allerdings sollte man nicht davon ausgehen, dass sich in dieser Situation schnell was tut. Die Jazz werden nichts überstürzen und erst einmal versuchen die Millsap-Situation zu klären. Interessenten an Boozer gibt es genug, dazu zu zählen sind die Miami Heat und die New York Knicks.</p>
<p>Donnie Walsh glaubt, dass Boozer <a href="http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60557/20090714/walsh_acknowledges_interest_in_boozer/#" target="_self">mehr als ein Ersatz</a> für David Lee wäre, sollte sich dieser entscheiden die Knicks zu verlassen. Wie wäre es denn mit einem Sign-and-Trade Deal mit den Jazz – Lee für Boozer.  Utah müsste sich keine Gedanken um Millsap mehr machen, sie hätten einen qualitativen Power Forward in David Lee und die Knicks auf der anderen Seite wären Glücklich C.B. zu verpflichten. Sein Vertrag läuft nach der kommenden Saison aus, was ihn zum perfekten Spieler für New York macht.</p>
<p>Die Philadelphia 76ers <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20090714_The_Sixers_are_in_a_shopping_mode.html" target="_self">bieten Andre Miller jetzt doch für mögliche Sign-and-Trade Deals an</a>. Miller hatte nach einem Dreijahresvertrag über $ 30 Millionen gefragt, die Sixers bieten ihm nur ein Vertrag für die nächste Saison und $ 6 Millionen an. Auch hier sollen die Knicks Interesse gezeigt haben, doch ich halte es für unwahrscheinlich, dass er in N.Y. landet.</p>
<p>Die Dallas Mavericks <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/basketball/mavs/stories/071509dnspomavslede.2c7801d.html" target="_self">könnten versuchen Lamar Odom nach Texas zu holen</a>. Das Geld, was sie für Gortat aufgewendet hätten, können sie für Odom ausgeben. Aber passt Odom nach Dallas? Meines Erachtens hilft er den Mavs in der derzeitigen Situation nicht weiter.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Si el año pasado la moda en el baloncesto internacional fue el salto de jugadores NBA a Europa (reco]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Si el año pasado la moda en el baloncesto internacional fue el salto de jugadores NBA a Europa (recordemos los casos de <strong>Josh Childress</strong> y un montón de jugadores no norteamericanos como <strong>Carlos Delfino, Jorge Garbajosa, Juan Carlos Navarro</strong> y demás que volvieron a &#8220;casa&#8221;, sin olvidar a <strong>Brandon Jennings</strong>), parece que este año podría darse el caso contrario, y jugadores con un cartel firmemente establecido en Europa podrían probar la aventura NBA&#8230; sin olvidar a americanos que vinieron aquí en busca del &#8220;oro europeo&#8221; que podrían hacer las maletas a las primeras de cambio. Echemos un vistazo a los hombres que podrían cambiar de aires en las próximas semanas para probar la &#8220;aventura americana&#8221;:<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">David Andersen:</span></strong> Dicen por ahí que el australiano con pasaporte danés del Regal Barcelona podría estar considerando la opción de cruzar el charco y jugar el año que viene en la NBA. Ya el año pasado se le vinculó con los Atlanta Hawks, aunque finalmente optó por el proyecto de <strong>Joan Creus</strong>. Ahora, los rumores se repiten de nuevo&#8230; pero no hay nada claro. Los Hawks draftearon a Andersen en el número 37 en 2002, pero optaron por dejarle crecer (y de qué manera) en Europa antes de lanzarle una oferta en firme. ¿Habrá llegado ya el momento? ¿Podrá consolidarse <strong>Andersen</strong> en la NBA, habida cuenta de su &#8220;alergia&#8221; a jugar en posiciones cercanas al aro?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ersan Ilyasova:</span></strong> Según anunciaba hoy <strong><em><a href="http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&#38;idioma=CAS&#38;idnoticia_PK=626534&#38;idseccio_PK=808" target="_blank">Sport</a></em></strong>, el turco del Barcelona está a punto de aceptar la oferta que le han hecho los Milwaukee Bucks para que juegue en la NBA el año que viene. <strong>Ilyasova</strong>, que tiene en su contrato una cláusula que le permitía rescindirlo si le llegaba una oferta de este tipo. Además, la salida de <strong>Charlie Villanueva</strong> del equipo le abriría la opción de jugar más minutos&#8230; y quién sabe si la titularidad. Recordemos que Ilyasova ya jugó en los Bucks hace tres temporadas&#8230; con resultados más bien discretos (6 puntos y casi 3 rebotes en 14 minutos de juego). Veremos si con más minutos puede dar más de sí&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si se confirma que el Barcelona pierde a esos dos hombres, se habla de que podría intentar suplirles con jugadores de garantías como <strong>Terence Morris</strong> o <strong>Matjiaz Smodis</strong>. Huelga decir que cualquiera de los dos sería un pedazo de fichaje&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Marcus Haislip:</span></strong> Al parecer <strong>Rasheed Wallace</strong> no era pretendido únicamente por los Boston Celtics; otro peso pesado de la liga, como los San Antonio Spurs, se ha quedado con un palmo de narices después de que <strong>Sheed</strong> aceptara la oferta del equipo que entrena <strong>Doc Rivers</strong>. Los Spurs quieren reforzar su juego interior (bastante huérfano con la marcha de <strong>Kurt Thomas</strong> y <strong>Fabricio Oberto</strong>), y parece que se han fijado en<strong> Marcus Haislip</strong>, que ha sido uno de los hombres más determinantes de Unicaja en las dos últimas temporadas. Haislip, drafteado por los Bucks en el número 13 en 2002, ya jugó tres temporadas en la NBA, la última de ellas en los Indiana Pacers, antes de dar el salto a Europa. Ya entonces no acabó de funcionar ni en los Bucks ni en los Pacers. ¿Lo hará en los Spurs? (Por cierto que los Spurs también parecen andar detrás de <strong>Antonio McDyess</strong>, veremos en qué queda todo&#8230;). Ah, y la desintegración de Unicaja continúa&#8230;</p>
<div style="text-align:justify;">
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Jannero Pargo:</span></strong> Como decía esta mañana, <strong>Jannero Pargo</strong> podría estar en negocaciones con los Bulls para volver a la NBA. Y no sólo los Bulls parecen interesados en el escolta que tan poca expectación ha despertado en Europa este año. Parece que su ex equipo, los New Orleans Hornets, también quiere recuperarle y podría firmarle el mismo miércoles, fecha en la que se pueden empezar a anunciar fichajes oficiales.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Josh Childress:</span></strong> Otro que tampoco ha revolucionado precisamente Europa ha sido<strong> Josh Childress</strong>, que podría volver a la NBA este mismo verano. Al parecer los Milwaukee Bucks han mantenido conversaciones con el alero norteamericano, que este verano es agente libre restringido por los Hawks (ya sabéis que la NBA lleva sus propias cuentas en esto de los contratos y la posesión de derechos). No me extrañaría nada volver a ver a Childress jugando en la NBA, y Milwaukee podría ser un destino tan bueno como cualquier otro. (Y sí, los Bucks están pescando mucho en Europa: Childress, Pargo, Ilyasova, <strong>Jennings</strong>&#8230;)</p>
<p>En fin, que como veis este año podría estar de moda dar el salto de Europa a Estados Unidos. Veremos quién acaba dándolo&#8230; y quién más se apunta al carro.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Στον Τζος Τσιλντρες ανήκουν :</p>
<p>     1.	Το αυθεντικότερο αφρο μαλλί που έχει εμφανιστεί στον ελληνικό αθλητισμό από την εποχή του Βασια Χατζηπαναγη και του Παναγιώτη Φασούλα στα μακρινά 80’s<br />
     2.	Το χειρότερο στυλ σε σουτ που έχει εμφανιστεί στα ελληνικά παρκέ μετά από εκείνο του Πάσπαλιε<br />
     3.	Το Fair play κατά της βίας στα γήπεδα :<br />
&#8220;&#8221;Αγαπώ τους οπαδούς μας αλλά θα έπρεπε να επιλέξουν άλλη στιγμή για να πετάξουν αντικείμενα. Εκείνη τη στιγμή ήμασταν κοντά στο σκορ και διεκδικούσαμε τη νίκη. <strong>Εκτιμώ τη βοήθειά τους, αλλά ίσως έπρεπε να περιμένουν μετά το ματς για να πετάξουν πράγματα.</strong> Οι δύο ομάδες πάλεψαν σκληρά, αλλά ήμασταν άτυχοι σε κάποιες στιγμές. Πρέπει να παραμείνουμε συγκεντρωμένοι, να παίξουμε καλύτερα γιατί υπάρχουν ακόμη παιχνίδια μπροστά μας&#8221;.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Comienzan hoy los cuartos de final de la Euroliga en busca de una plaza para la Final Four que se di]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.olympiacos.org/_images/basketball/1/Team/omada.jpg" alt="" width="559" height="395" />Comienzan hoy los cuartos de final de la Euroliga en busca de una plaza para la Final Four que se disputará en Berlín del 1 al 3 de mayo. En principio, el Panathinaikos – Montepaschi de Siena y el CSK – Partizán no parecen duelos de gran envergadura y griegos y rusos son los claros favoritos, aunque me dejan muchas dudas de cara al triunfo en la Final a Cuatro. Además, se juegan un Barcelona – Tau y un Olympiacos – Real Madrid.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Del duelo entre españoles cabe esperar la inspiración de los Navarro, Ilyasova y compañía para que eviten que el Tau les pase por encima como si de un rodillo se tratara. El factor campo de los blaugrana les hará ganar algún partido pero en el Bruesa Arena el Baskonia no tendrá rival. Cuidadín cuidadín porque este año puede ser el del Tau en Euroliga.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Al Real Madrid le sucede algo similar que a su eterno rival. Tendrán que apelar a la épica como lo viene haciendo durante toda la campaña con un sinfín de remontadas, además, cuentan a su favor la confianza que les da haber ganado ya en las canchas del CSK y Maccabi. Pero esta vez será más complicado, puesto que enfrente se encontrarán con el Olympiacos, para mí el claro favorito a llevarse a sus vitrinas la Euroliga.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El conjunto del Pireo comenzó este verano una renovación del equipo y tiró de talonario para firmar a lo más selecto del panorama baloncestístico europeo. Siguiendo el estilo y la política del Chelsea londinense en fútbol, ha creado un equipo plagado de estrellas, pero a diferencia de éste, los resultados se están viendo desde el primer momento. Entre el elenco de estrellas destacan dos por encima del resto: Nikola Vujcic en el poste alto y Theodoros Papaloukas en la batuta de los griegos, sin duda, el líder espiritual del club. Alrededor de estos pilares bailan una amplia representación de jugadores anotadores con pasado NBA como son Josh Childress (Hawks), aunque no está en su mejor momento, Jannero Pargo (Hornets) y Lynn Greer (Bucks). Por si fuera poco, todavía queda por señalar uno de los jugadores más exquisitos de Europa, el israelí Yotam Halperin y el balcánico Milos Teodosis que si tiene su día puede hacer más de un agujero.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sin el Maccabi, que había dado guerra en los últimos años y con un CSK en horas bajas, solo el Tau y sus compatriotas de Atenas serán rivales. Creo que con este panorama hay razones suficientes para considerar al Olympiacos del Pireo un serio aspirante al cetro de la Euroliga. Empezaremos esta misma tarde a comprobarlo…</p>

<description><![CDATA[  Josh Childress could prove a valuable trade chip. Sekou Smith recently interviewed Josh Childress ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> </p>
<div id="attachment_154" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-154" title="Josh Childress could prove a valuable trade chip." src="http://thedirtychronicles.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/childress.jpg?w=200" alt="Josh Childress could prove a valuable trade chip. " width="200" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Josh Childress could prove a valuable trade chip. </p></div>
<p>Sekou Smith recently <a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/hawks/stories/2009/01/24/hawks_josh_childress.html" target="_blank">interviewed Josh Childress about his time in Greece</a>.  Childress is back in Atlanta to undergo sports hernia surgery.  While the lanky former 6th man may have been gone, he certainly was not forgotten in Atlanta.  Hawks fans made sure management knew of their displeasure after the team failed to sign Childress in the offseason, being outbid by the Greek franchise Olympiakos.  The Hawks called Childress&#8217; bluff and they called wrong &#8211; he was serious in his intent to sign in Europe, and perhaps Sund and company underestimated the thirst for culture of a young Stanford grad.  </p>
<p>6 months later, however, the landscape has changed a little, and we are left with the following questions: Will Childress return to the NBA?  If so, will it be with the Hawks?  and if not, what can the Hawks get for him?  I personally have no doubt that Childress will return to the NBA.  While he may be enjoying his time in Greece, it&#8217;s not home and it&#8217;s not the NBA.  The Europeans may be equally passionate about basketball, but the NBA is still the premier league in the world and every athlete who can play in it tends to do so.  (There are exceptions obviously &#8211; Spanish shooting guard Juan Carlos Navarro could have stayed with the Grizzlies, but instead he opted to go back to his home country to play; but then again, he was in Memphis where the Spanish population is not the highest.)  Look no further than Serbian power forward Nenad Krstic, who was a solid role player on the Nets before bolting to play for the Russian league team Triumph.  But after only less than a half a season, Krstic returned to the NBA, inking a three deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.  </p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;m reading between the lines, but not only has Childress opened the door to a return to the NBA, but there&#8217;s still a slight crack open for a return to the Hawks.  Childress loves Atlanta and for good reason.  It&#8217;s a larger city with a high African-American population.  It&#8217;s the epicenter of hip-hop culture and fans are starting to care again about its professional basketball team.  Throw on the fact that Childress&#8217; mother lived ten minutes away from him and cooked all his meals and you have to think Atlanta is at least a possibility.  And boy, could Atlanta use him.  While the Hawks have survived with a less than average bench through 42 games this season, it will catch up to them at some point.  Childress brings a slashing and offensive rebounding skill set which the Hawks lack off the bench, and if they could somehow find a way to bring him back, the pine would be much approved. </p>
<p>In the event my optimistic predictions prove less than prophetic, then the Hawks are looking at potentially trading the rights to Childress to another team.  There will be a number of takers.  The Spurs (and others), for one, were interested in signing Childress in the offseason but could not offer him more than the mid-level exception.  The Hawks figured NBA teams were the only ones they were bidding against, and thus they told Childress to go seek a better offer.  Unfortunately, they never thought &#8220;outside the box&#8221; like Childress to realistically consider a European team swooping in for his services.  The Hawks could likely steal a first round draft pick for the swingman, or possibly pull the trigger on a player for player deal.  Regardless, unless the Hawks decide in the coming months to relinquish Childress&#8217; rights &#8211; a move I would beg the Hawks to not even consider &#8211; we could be looking at some interesting trade scenarios down the road.</p>
