there are some lovely women there.
I tried to post this like 3 times and the Blog kept crashing.
Thank you for posting it. Good luck to Zak.
I've gotten the Drupal error a half dozen times today myself. Been crazy.
And best of luck to Zak, I hope he tears it up!
As July winds down and August bring fall camp and - in due course - the season itself, we're all about to relearn that lesson that, during some months, Drupal IS the error. I say that in the spirit of playfulness, of course, lest anyone think that I am actually making a critique of something on the blog.
I hope he likes sgetti!
Euro life is good and so is the food!!
of 20k per month for established starter level players. He's probably not considered at that level, so I doubt he's into a six figure contract, but it should be a decent living and chance to keep playing and try to get the the NBA.
Italian Serie A is probably the second best league in Europe (after Spain's top league). Guys like Gallinari, Ginobili, Datome and others fed into the NBA from there. Also, it's where Mike Dantoni played and coached.
Ora di mangiare!
Best of luck to him! Even if he does not make the NBA, he gets to continue playing, he's getting paid for it (I assume he's still making a decent chunk of change), and he gets to see the world in the process.
I just came back from Italy a month ago, and it is a truly special place.
Apologies for posting in this thread, but Walton just signed with the Heat! Awesome news
Upvoted for the great news, but also because I'm immature and your join date is 3-9.
I've always wondered why guys don't head straight to Italy or Greece...screw playing in Denmark or some random country that looks like Game of Thrones.
If I can't play in the NBA, it's about quality of life...take me STRAIGHT to Italy.
Zak sir, you're doing it RIGHT.
doesn't get to eat pasta and gelato and drink wine all day long like I do in Italy....or does he?

I've always wondered why guys don't head straight to Italy or GreeceThey need to find a taker. There aren't that many roster spots available for non-EU citizens.
Zak, great place to be
I would be surprised if this wasn't his ceiling, but you never know.
Congrats on the contract.
