Boykins to Italy

[tamburello]

Is there anyone who speaks Spanish? It's probably saying that TAU Ceramica is looking to sign Earl Boykins. Marca is not a reliable newspaper, however rumor is rumor.

I don't know spanish but I translated it in english.


The Phoenix Suns and the Tau they continue negotiating to incorporate to the Slovene base to the staff of Arizona. Therefore, the Tau moves in the market (something that not to stops doing never) and is trying to put on file to an American base for the case that Dragic leave Vitoria. The favorite one is Andre Barrett, intended by other teams of Europe, and they have offered to Earl Boykins, the smallest player of the NBA.

As already it advanced MARKS.com, the Phoenix Suns want to Dragic already and the Tau be planted to sign him an American replacement, therefore has a plaza of non-EU free after the march of James Singleton, if finally the Slovene youth goes. The main candidate is Andre Barrett, that this campaign has played in Los Angeles Clippers. Base director and very good marksman of three, has done some good Leagues of Summer of the NBA and is the player that more likes to Dusko Ivanovic.

Nevertheless, to the Tau they have offered to Earl Boykins, the tiny base that finished it passed campaign in the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA. The player, of 32 years and 1.65 meters, played does several seasons to a highest level in the Denver Nuggets, but their high economic pretensions carried to be without enough team time and its career was chilled. It is an opposite player to Barrett: scorer, almost an escort put in the small body of a base. It will put on file the Tau to the smallest player of the basket world? We will see. Comments

That was hilarious.

My wife came in and looked over my shoulder while I was reading that and died laughing.

I love translaters

Earl Boykins is headed to Italy officially, he'll play for Virtus Bologna. He is to receive $ 3.5 million and become the most paid player of Italian league history.

How did he get 3.5 million out those people?

[ohara831]

Beats me. But if someone offers LeBron $50 mil/ yr to play in Europe, he'd be a fool to stay in the NBA. Someone sign him to that Contract for 10 years, he better say Bye to the NBA. $500,000,000.00 plus whatever endorsement deals, he could buy his own small European country and call it LeBronia with it's capital being Jamestown. That beats an NBA Title in my opinion. (Plus, it would be hilarious to see NY and NJ cutting all that payroll thinking they will land him, and he goes to Europe!)

I just looked it up, "nano" is dwarf in Italian

[supadiscofly]

That is the funniest thing ever! Translators rule! Good for Earl that he got that much money out of them.

They could call me "nano" or anything else for 3.5 mil....

Ohara, did you see this article before your post: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3520860
This Europe thing is serious. Good for Earl, he didn't fit for us but I'm glad he's getting paid. It's a world market and the euro is stronger than the Dollar right now, saddly. If I was offered more money to do my same job in England or some other English speaking area, and the compensation took care of any additional expenses I doubt there are many people that wouldn't take it. If any of you have been on vacation to Vegas or Florida or any touristy area for that matter you know the europeans get more bang for their buck here. They can pay for their trip with savings on clothes almost. That's inflation for you.

[ohara831]

I did. But with someone throwing that much $ at you, I could see him taking it long term. That kind of $ is ungodly, and he would simply dominate the European league. He's already great in the NBA, but he could become the "Global Icon" he wants if he did a long term deal in Europe. He literally would be considered "King James". You've already seen Josh Childress and others go that way this year. You know that other players would follow LeBron, and with James and a few other big names there, ESPN would start carrying the games in the US too. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but they have a ton of $ to throw away and you know he would make the League money back. "*Stern better not brush this stuff off. This could be a very big problem for the NBA in 3-5 years.
