Delfino is clearly above average. Nachbar, slightly above marginal. But when you consider the money these guys got, whether you like them or not, Stern has got to be taking a crap.

NBA teams are no longer bidding against each other, restricted FA means zip, and Euro teams are about to over pay for our young role players. The Posey's of the world aren't getting these deals, but trust me, I bet Amir and Aflalo's agents are working the phones overtime.

There are enough players in the world at the talent level of Amir and Afflalo that would love to play in the NBA. Stern is not losing a wink of sleep about Delfino moving to Siberia.

I am happy for Carlos and I wish him luck.

16, it's already like that. One LBJ and a bunch of nobodies.
Euro League is difinitly good for the players. With that kind of money we will need a
WORLD TROPHY !!
can you dig it ?

Carlos Delfino is a reasonable back end of the rotation option, a point with size who can defend well enough to get minutes in Detroit a few years ago. He doesn't score well enough to be anyone's idea of a great starting option, and he's too old to have breakout potential, but he's still someone who could play 15 to 20 minutes a night for a playoff team.
He's also someone that's going to make the equivalent of nine million dollars to play basketball next year... in Russia, for Khimki BC. ...

"If it's American money." ?? Are people really that out of touch? American Dollar is in free fall. Many greener pasteurs elsewhere.
