Giorgos Printezis officially signed his new contract with Euroleague champions Olympiacos for three years and 2,7 million euros, as it was first reported by Eurohoops.net. As it was also reported by Turkish media, he refused to take the 4,5 million dollars for three years offer of Fenerbahce/ Ulker. What is not known, thought, is that the Knicks also made an official offer to the Greek forward, like they have said they would do, after the Euroleague final four. EuroHoops.net

At the end of the game I could chat with combo guard Nando de Colo, who had just reached an agreement with the San Antonio Spurs (for two seasons) hours before. He seemed very excited to join the NBA (to join the Spurs, above all) and grateful to his former team (Valencia). Sulia

If forward Erazem Lorbek is going to head to the San Antonio Spurs next season, he may have to choose between playing on basketball's highest stage or accept one of the largest contract in Barcelona team history. According to Mundo Deportivo, Spanish team FC Barcelona will offer Lorbek the largest contract in team history ProjectSpurs.com

If the Nets do decide to sign and bring over Shengelia for next season, his buyout from Charleroi is only $300,000. NBA teams are allowed to contribute up to $550,000 towards the buyout of an international player. “I think the initial thought was to draft and keep him overseas, but things could change,” Johnson said on Friday. “Depending on our roster, we’ll have five games to look at him in Orlando, but he’s playing like a man that doesn’t want to go back over there. That’s what this evaluation process is about. We know what he would like to do, but it just depends upon where we are with our roster and how fast he develops.” ZagsBlog.com

Under the rookie pay scale, salaries for first-round picks are slotted based on draft position. Kidd-Gilchrist will make about $4 million this season. His contract is guaranteed this season and next, and then the Bobcats will have two one-season options, based on the collective bargaining agreement. Charlotte Observer
