Felipe Reyes

[Fez Hammersticks]

Blazersedge nails it:

Probably the best big man outside the NBA

Felipe Reyes, A.K.A. Gladiator, 29, 6'9", Real Madrid

ACB Stats: 28min, 16.3pt, 54.9 2pt%, 71.7 ft%, 9.4Reb (3.8Off), 1.8As, 1.3St, 0.3Bk

ACB's regular season MVP is a well established star in Europe who's never had much consideration for NBA. He's an important member of the spanish national team, with a World Championship and an Olympic silver medal, and he proves his toughness on a daily basis. Despite his size, he's a great rebounder, specially on the offensive end. He doesn't have as many offensive moves as Scola, but he's tougher and a better rebounder, and creates many of his points off his amazing offensive rebounding ability.

Way to get him: Signing him. A 3Mill/year 3 year deal, with (at least) another Spanish player on the roster and the challenge of playing on the NBA could work. Also Rudy will spend the summer with him playing with the national team, he could talk him into signing.

Now I'm not so sure he'd take a 3Mill/year 3year, but he'd be a steal for less than the MLE.

Stop wasting time on guys like Swift and Howard and put all that time and energy on this guy.

1. Portland doesn't have enough cap room to get him.

2. Portland doesn't have a MLE.

Sorry about that.

I think we should trade Outlaw for Lebron.

All international players are overrated.

In a bit over a month we have 2.4M in space.

He's under contract with Real Madrid.

I do like the idea, though. Wish I'd thought of it...
