Dani Diez signs two year contract with Unicaja Malaga

[Rastapopoulos]

...So I guess he's a draft and stash.

 

[Sinobas]

RM Diez, RM Diez!

When he wasn't on the Summer League roster announced yesterday, I figured as such.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Hopefully the buy-out is there - Dario Saric wanted to leave for Philly this summer but his contract wouldn't allow it.

Diez just played in an exhibition game (against the team of Koponen, Monia, and last year, Claver). Koponen is still playing in Eurobasket, of course:

Since the stat sheet isn't in english that also means the stats were compiled using the metric system, right?

 

[jlprk]

He needs the 2 years to take Imperial System lessons.

Here's today's scoresheet. (Luka Doncic for Real Madrid is all of 16!)

damn--getting 10 assists in Eurobasket means you really earned them.

So it's not like soccer, where everyone who is looking in the general direction of the ball when it goes in gets an assist?

Or Utah, where if the Jazz score a basket John Stockton gets an assist to this day.

 

[BrianFromWA]

to be fair, we're not immune. I was laughing along with everyone else in the ROSE GARDEN when Blanky racked up 14 in the first quarter. It was like "damn, that one would be too blatantly homerish to give to him---OMG they gave him an assist for that!!?!"

Nowadays, phone books in the Restaurants section have full-page reproductions of menus. You put on your reading glasses and see what you can afford.

Nothing.

1-14 from three so far...

Diez is #11

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Latest game: beats a solid German team in the Euroleague.
I wonder if, while keeping tabs on Diez, our scouts will get intrigued by Kuzminskas:

 

[Draco]

Are you the Blazers international scout? Or Fran Fraschilla?

He sure seems to be shooting a lot of 3s for someone who isn't very good at doing so.

 

[BrianFromWA]

He's been the S2 international scout for almost a decade. What Zags is to Gonzaga pimping, Rasta is to guys with 11 vowels in their name or who ball during 12 minutes of Euroleague action.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is interesting. Look which team has the most draft'n'stash:

Seems like it might be a GOOD STRATEGY!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Game featuring 3 ex-Blazers (4 if you count Koponen's Summer League appearance, 5 if you count the short time we had Todorovic's draft rights before trading them for TRob) plus several more ex- and future-NBAers:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I post this (TOTALLY EPIC) image of Dani Diez and Dragan Bender without comment. (Diez's Unicaja just beat Bender's Maccabi handily. Once again, the best player was Mindauskas Kuzminskas.)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bad news everybody!

(Okay, not VERY bad news.)

 

[Trackjack]

He is another asset that Olshey can use in a trade.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Player option or Team option??

 

[Trackjack]

If traded it gives his right to another team.
