Mislim da ti povratnici u ligu ne mogu ništa poboljšati igru, naprotiv, samo bi usporavali igru i ona bi izgubia na atrakciji. Zar nije ljepše gledati Lebrona, Antonya i Wadea na djelu u punoj snazi nego njih od 40 godina?

A što se tiče trejda Garneta u Boston... Mislim da je u tom trejdu Minesota bolje prošla. Garnet jeste možda jedan od najboljih igrača u nba, ali ipak je Minesota dobila nekoliko mladih i perspektivnih igrača.

Povratak Penija, možda i Redžija Milera

Peni Hardavej i Šekil O Nil ponovo igraju zajedno! Majami Hit potpisao je ugovor sa Hardavejem, u pokušaju povratka ovog legendarnog igrača na teren i ujedno vraćanja Majamija u vrh NBA lige.

Hardavej ima 36 godina, a poslednje dve sezone nije igrao zbog serija povreda kolena i sada se oseća dobro i želi da svojim iskustvom i znanjem pomogne Hitu da se vrati u vrh.

Peni i Šek su tako ponovo zajedno posle 12 godina kada su kao mladići predstavljali ubitačan tandem Orlando Medžika.

U tri sezone koje su proveli zajedno u timu, njih dvojica su prosečno u zbiru postizali 48 poena za Orlando.


Redži ponovo na terenu?

Pažnju košarkaške javnosti u SAD ovih dana privlači još jedan potencijalni povratnik - legendarni Redži Miler, koga pokušava da vrati na parket Boston Seltiks.

Boston koji pravi šampionski tim sa Pirsom, Alenom i Garnetom, ponudio je Redžiju da se vrati košarci, iako već dve godine ne igra i ima 42 godine!

"Tačno je da sam razgovorao sa čelnicima Seltiksa.Velika je čast taj poziv...mogu da kažem da mi je trenutno vrlo lepo u ulozi komentatora na kanalu TNT", saopštio je kratko Miler, koji će uskoro biti primljen u Kuću slavnih.

Iako je bio jedan od najboljih šutera u istoriji NBA lige, Miler je jedan od onih velikih igrača koji nikada nisu osvojili NBA titulu, i to je karta na koju igra uprava Bostona.

reaktiviranje penzionera definitivno ne ugrožava aktuelne "zvezde"

Boston signs Eddie House and Scot Pollard. 

Koji ce im vrag Scot Polard, lani ako se ne varam nije ofigrao ni jednan minut za Klivlend u plejofu

Nemoj tako, pa usao je barem jednom na parket... a valjda su zeleli da ima neko ko stvara dobru atmosferu u timu, a ne samo napucane zvezde... 

Ja nisam rekao da ih ugrožava. Samo mislim da to nije dobro za igru. 

Basketball without Borders Europe will be held in Paris, France, at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin on Aug. 6-10, the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) announced today. The NBA’s global basketball development and community outreach program uses the sport to influence positive social change and features dozens of current and former NBA players and team personnel as camp coaches.

Basketball Without Borders Europe Day 5


August 10 - Emotions were running high on the fourth and final day of Basketball without Borders Europe in Paris.

The campers started the day with a Life Skills seminar, led by UNICEF to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS education and prevention. The campers discussed different ways the disease spreads and how they can play their role in stopping it becoming a pandemic in their home countries. Chris Duhon of the Chicago Bulls was with the campers and spoke to them about the importance of education and about his experience at Basketball without Borders Asia last month. “When I was in China we saw a film about HIV/Aids prevention. There were people that thought that the disease could be spread by just breathing on someone. It’s really important to educate yourselves about the disease, how it spreads and what can be done to stop it.”

Basketball Without Borders Europe Day 4


August 9 – Day 4 of Basketball without Borders in Paris started with a seminar led by Orlando Magic’s Bo Outlaw and San Antonio Spurs Don Newman on the importance of character and the qualities of being a leader. The talk focused on taking responsibility on and off the court, teamwork and respect. “No-one is perfect,” coach Newman told the campers. “So don’t get down on yourselves because you believe that. People put pressure on themselves to be the perfect player and they drive themselves crazy. They don’t want to make a mistake. You can’t play like that and you can’t live like that.” Bo Outlaw stressed the importance of working as a team “You need five guys in their assigned roles to win. You’re a team. You need your teammates to win a game.”

Basketball Without Borders Europe Day 3


August 8 – The campers were up bright and early for day three of Basketball without Borders Europe. First thing on their agenda was the Life Skills seminar to give the campers an overview of the camp Zoran Radovic, Development director of FIBA, Masai Ujuri, Director of Global Scouting for the Toronto Raptors, Amadou Fall (Dallas Mavericks) and Rich Scheubrooks from Nike talked to the campers about what it takes to be a great basketball player, the main focus being to work together as a team. “Although there are a lot of conflicts around the world, sport is the best way to unite people and this camp gives you the chance to meet people from a lot of different countries”, said Zoran Radovic. Masai Ujuri stressed the importance of education to the campers. “You must continue to go to school to study. This is as important as Basketball.”

Basketball Without Borders Europe Day 2


August 7 – The NBA, FIBA and the French Basketball Federation celebrated the official launch of Basketball without Borders Europe 2007 in Paris with a press conference at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin. As well as media members, the 50 young campers from all over Europe were also present to welcome France’s own, Boris Diaw (Phoenix Suns), Ronny Turiaf (Los Angeles Lakers), Mickael Pietrus (Golden State Warriors) and Yakhouba Diawara (Denver Nuggets) as well as Luol Deng and Chris Duhon (Chicago Bulls) and Bo Outlaw (Orlando Magic). Also at the event were NBA coaches Jim Eyen, Neal Meyer and Rory White (Los Angeles Clippers), Don Newman (San Antonio Spurs), Brian Hill (New Jersey Nets), NBA Coach Terry Stotts and trainer Fred Tedeschi.

Marin Sedlacek, Camp Director of Basketball without Borders for the seventh consecutive time spoke to the campers of how five NBA players had participated in the Basketball without Borders program when they were younger, including number one draft pick in 2006 Andrea Bargnani from Italy.

Basketball Without Borders Europe Day 1


Day One of Basketball Without Borders Europe 2007 tipped off with a special encounter for one French teenager from the Make a Wish Association. He had breakfast with all the NBA players and followed the players during their first day.

NBA: Memfis preuzeo prava na Navara
Petak, 17. avgust 2007. 10:53

Vašington Vizardsi poslali su Memfis Grizlisima prava na plejmejkera Barselone Huana Karlosa Navara, u zamenu za "pik" prve runde nekog od narednih draftova.

Vašington je Navara izabrao sa 40. pozicije drafta 2002. godine, ali je on nastavio da igra za Barselonu. Prošlog meseca konačno se sa svojim klubom sporazumeo oko visine obeštećenja, pa više nema prepreka da se oproba u najkvalitetnijoj ligi sveta.

Dvadesetsedmogodišnji bek, u Španiji poznat pod nadimkom "La Bomba", sa Barselonom je osvojio četiri titule nacionalnog šampiona i jednu Evroligu, dok je sa reprezentacijom postao prvak sveta 2006. godine u Japanu.

U Memfisu će dobiti priliku da ponovo zaigra sa zemljakom i nekadašnjim saigračem Pauom Gasolom, a tu će, naravno, biti i reprezentativac Srbije Darko Miličić, koji je ovog leta stigao u Tenesi iz Orlando Medžika.

U noći izmedju četvrtka i petka obavljena su još dva NBA transfera.

Šampionski tim San Antonio Sparsa jači je za Imea Udoku, koji je prošle sezone u timu Portlanda bio specijalista za trojke. Prosečno je beležio 8,4 poena, 3,7 skokova i 1,5 asistencija.

Detroit Pistonsi iz Vašingtona su doveli slobodnog agenta Džarvisa Hejsa, koji igra na pozicijama beka i niskog krila. Hejs je na 81 meču za Vizardse minule sezone postizao 7,2 poena i hvatao 2,6 lopti za 20 minuta.

Uvek sam bio i uvek cu biti protiv povratka penzionera.
Oni vise nemaju sta pruziti, a mogu  samo pokvariti sliku o sebi, a i uzeti par dragocenih minuta nekom rukiju.

E jbg, ali oni su pohlepni, moraju uzimati jos para, ko da dosad nemaju dosta...
