And you thought the Navarro deal was big…
June 22, 2008 by Tobias
How about David Andersen joining Juan Carlos Navarro on FC Barcelona, while CSKA signs Terrence Morris? No, this isn’t the daily rumors section: It’s official, as you can see here and here.
Where does this leave Barcelona and CSKA Moscow? Right: As number one contenders for next year’s Euroleague Final Four. I am already excited to read our expert’s opinions on this year’s final four winner.
While the Andersen deal is not all that unexpected, Terrence Morris signing with CSKA is. Everybody expected Morris to sign with Panathinaikos or even Olympiakos, but the CSKA budget must have convinced him; I’m Terrence is throwing a party right now over that deal.
Tererence Morris played college ball at the University of Maryland, was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, went to the Houston Rockets, was waived by the L.A. Clippers and ended up with the Orlando Magic.
Though most know him only as an Australian, David Andersen also holds a Danish passport.
Everyone expected Andersen to follow Ettore Messina to Barcelona; now he is still going there with Messina staying in Moscow. I am sure they’ll meet at one point during this upcoming season; how about in the Final Four?
Oly also seems to have great additions going on, with Vujcic,Halperin, Erceg and papaloukas already on board and another supposedly “big” name on the way, and hopefully Big Sofo in shape to help in euroleague matches.
And PAO having solved their big man problems with the addition of pekovic might also cause CSKA and Barca one or two sleepless nights, especially now that Sarunas seems to be staying there.
Anyone having doubts we got half of the top 8 teams down with this list?
Looking forward to some epic battles in berlin!
This Euroleague season is gonna be great !!!
