Marcus Brown to Maccabi Tel Aviv?
October 19, 2008 by Tobias
It looks bad - really bad - for the only Lithuanian club still playing in the Euroleague. Rytas has been out of the Euroleague since last season, and it now looks like Zalgiris has big problems, which we have already discussed. After we thought Zalgiris was fine, we’ve gotten the news that Marcus Brown, one of the top Euroleague players, has left the club.
After head coach Rimantas Grigas left the club yesterday, it looks like Marcus Brown is also leaving and will fly to Tel Aviv to talk about a possible contract with Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, according to Lithuanian and Israeli sources.
If Maccabi gets Marcus Brown, they will have a player with the title of “All-time Leading Scorer of the Euroleague.” Sounds great, doesn’t it?
its bulshit
Well, wait and see the official announcement of Maccabi Tel Aviv tomorrow
Maccabi doesn’t need another scorer, maccabi needs to teach it’s players consistent adequate defense, boxing out and rebounding, especially with their local players. Maccabi will help themselves more doing that than signing another player. I’m not sure if another scorer will help them, maccabi already has a problem with too many scorers on their team.
It’s official now. Brown is on loan till the end of this season to Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Source: http://www.zalgiris.lt/LT/naujienos/zinutes/4153/
