And Be?ikta? JK ColaTurka finally added the point-guard Brian Chase to their roster. Last year he played for the NBDL team Los Angeles D-Fender. This year his overalls have been 16.3 points, 3.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in his team.

Due to the ULEB regulations, he won't be playing at the ULEB Cup challenge, but Turkish League.

Yesterday he went into his first training at Be?ikta?.

Thank you mintcure for updating the thread. I don't know Bradshaw but Spencer is may be the best player that Efes can find at the moment.

TTNet Beykoz strengthened their roster with American point-guard Anthony Lamorse Roberson from French side Paris-Levallois after Beykoz terminated the contract of their pg Gregory Ross Grays due to some disciplinary reasons.

Roberson, who played at Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets successively, started the season at Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem and then moved to Paris.

TTNet Beykoz are currently struggling to avoid relegation in Beko Turkish Basketball League.

It is done, Bradshaw is the latest signing of Efes Pilsen.

Quinton Hosley didn't play against Oyak Renault because of financial problems. His future at Kar??yaka is uncertain...

David Blatt resigned from his position at Efes after the loss against Kar??yaka. Ekrem Memnun will be the head coach till the end of the season.

Wow man, this is some serious news! I'm not surprised, but Blatt is a big name in Europe and certainly his resignation will shake things up...



I think this is another sign that he is heading to CSKA, although I don't think he is at Messina's level...



And I think that he was just mad at Efes' management for sacking those three Americans and destroying his chances in the Top16 which started so well...



I witnessed his frustration because I was sitting just a few meters from Efes bench in OAKA and I have never seen a coach as mad as Blatt...

Dewarick Spencer should be a leader of Efes.

I am not that surprised. He lost some of his main players. I believa that Blatt was approached by CSKA some time ago and he knows he's leaving Efes anyway. When you have a job at one of the top European clubs guaranteed for the next season and you are not feeling well in your current position, it's easy to pack your bags and leave.



I agree with Arkadios that Blatt is not as good as Messina yet. It'd be a funny situation if Messina somehow stays CSKA and Blatt is left looking for a new team.

Ergin Ataman left Be?ikta?. Italy is expected to be his next stop...

According to local newspapers Erman Kunter agreed with Galatasaray Cafe Crown and Efes wants Ergin Ataman.

Edit: Erman Kunter denied the rumours stating that he hasn't receieved any offer from Galatasaray.

Ergin Ataman is officially the new coach of Efes...:

Milwaukee Bucks guard Charlie Bell and young talent Stefano Mencinelli of Upim Bologna are rumoured for Efes Pilsen

[quote name='"agopist":1b5xg1wm']Milwaukee Bucks guard Charlie Bell and young talent Marco Belinelli of Upim Bologna are rumoured for Efes Pilsen[/quote]

Hey mate, welcome to the forum. How reliable are those rumours? This Marco Belinelli <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nba.com/playerfile/marco_belinelli/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">[url="http://www.nba.com/playerfile/marco_belinelli/"]http://www.nba.com/playerfile/marco_belinelli/[/url]</a><!-- m -->?

Thank you..



And sorry for my mistake. He is Stefano Mencinelli, not Marco Belinelli. I editted my post.



This is a news from Corriera Della Serra. They did not mention Efes but I heard that Ergin Ataman really wants Mencinelli in his team.

I see. It would certainly be interesting to Italian player in Turkey but I doubt it would happen though. There were rumours that Lietuvos rytas want Scoonie Penn. Anything about that in Turkey?
