These are American players who never had a good time playing in the NBA but came here to Spain and did (or are doing) a pretty good job. I just wanted to know if you remember any of them.
-Elmer Bennet-PG-He has been playing in Spain for about 8 years and has always been very good. He played for TAU and now for Real Madrid.
-Frankie King-PG-He played for Granada (my city!!) and he was a the "franchise" player of our mediocre team. Averaged 22 ppg in the only year he had here.(2nd in the league)
-Jerome Ward-SF-He also played for Granada, he was another super scorer, and a very athletic one. He performed a great dunk in the Spanish dunk contest.
-Michael Wright-PF-He was drafted by the Knicks and actually had another nice season in Granada. I guess he never played in the NBA because he was 6'7, but he was a very good rebounder here.
-Luis Bullock-PG-He is curretnly playing for Real Madrid and he is one of the best scorers in the league. Nice three pointer shooter.
-Charlie Bell-SG-OMG!!! This guy is having an AWESOME season. He's averaging 28 ppg and if his team reaches the play-offs, he is probably going to be the MVP of the season.
-And my favourite one...hehe. He was another knick and his name was Jerrod Mustaf (PF), you should remember him. He played in Barcelona, and believe me, he had the best turnaround jumper that I have ever seen here in Spain. He was my favourite player.
There are a lot of more players but these are the ones I'm more interested in having your opinion.

I want him. He's 26. Ive read he's one of that league's tough defenders, and he said he would come back to the NBA with a solid contract. Considering he's making about 500k and has offers close to $1mm I think a 3 year $4.5mm deal would do it. He fills a need, he would be cheap and he's the kind of player we are looking for. Its a cheap investment when you consider we paid Vin Baker $8mm to do nothing.

I think we should get him back. The league is never going to be able to handle our roster consisitng entirely of short burly power forwards. We're not to win a lot of opening tips but we're going to have a very physical backcourt!
