Spanish media: Bogdanovic coming to Brooklyn; Splitter rebuffs wacky Real Madrid overture

May 28, 2013

It’s good news for international hoops fans into the NBA in a pair of stories via Spain-based Marca today.

Earlier this morning, the outlet reported that Mikhail Prokhorov and his Brooklyn Nets will buy out Bojan Bogdanovic’s contract with Fenerbahce Ulker for some $570,000. Bogdanovic was originally drafted by the Miami Heat at no. 31 overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, and his rights subsequently bounced to Brooklyn through the Minnesota Timberwolves in a series of trades.

For Fenerbahce this season, Bogdanovic was good for 15.9 points in 28.25 minutes per game in Euroleague cumulatively – and 20.5 in just over 32½ in the Top 16 round. Back in Turkey, Bogdanovic averaged 13.0 in 25.3 minutes.

Any buyout of Bogdanovic’s contract would become official on July 1.

Meanwhile, Tiago Splitter of the now-Western Conference title-holding San Antonio Spurs has shot down Real Madrid’s possibly fantastical (and definitely longshot) hopes of signing the former ACB champion this offseason – in fact, Marca says he’s laughing about it.

Originally reported by Spain-based radio station Cadena SER yesterday, Splitter commented to the San Antonio Express News that the suggestion was purely political and that he hadn’t heard of any such offer.

According to Spurs Nation, “Splitter would seem to be in line for an NBA contract ranging from $6-10 million per season. (He’s currently making $3.9 million with a one-year qualifying offer of $4.9 million.)”

Splitter averaged 9.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.5 stocks (steals+blocks, per Bill Simmons) per game for the Spurs in 2012-13 – and, as of two months ago, won the respect of Stephen A. Smith. Which means something.

    This just shows is if a Euroleague star is willing to pay his dues in the NBA and play limited minutes and less money then in the NBA, if he really is a good player he will soon be able to make more money than he ever can dream of in Euroleague.

    This just shows that Gabe is a lying scumbag. For years here he called Splitter a scrub and said he would never ever be starter in the NBA.

    Now all of a sudden he’s a good player……….

    Never in my life have I seen such a wacko as this Gabe freak. Don’t think that people that read here do not remember the years you said Splitter was a superstar in Euroleague and would never be good enough to start in the NBA.

    You are a really strange and creepy person.

    This just in from TalkBasket.net: According to the international hoops-centric website, the San Antonio Spurs have signed Union Olimpija’s Aron Baynes to a multi-year deal and will complete a $400,000 buyout to land the player’s rights. Baynes had worked out for NBA teams including the Sacramento Kings in 2009, but didn’t stick in the big league.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a seashell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
