Bryant gets Turkish offer
Turkish basketball club Besiktas has made an offer to Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant to play for its team during the NBA lockout and is awaiting an answer from Bryant's agent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Besiktas coach Ergin Ataman said Friday.
Ataman, who already has a deal with the New Jersey Nets' Deron Williams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said he expected to hear Bryant's decision when he spoke to Bryant's agent, Rob Pelinka, in the next day or so. Ataman said Pelinka had initiated the discussions by contacting the club this week.
"We are very serious,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Ataman said in a telephone interview Friday. "I don't think they are joking with us. We showed we are serious with the Deron Williams transfer. We believe this will happen. We are optimistic that during the lockout Kobe and Deron Williams will play with our team."
Pelinka did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bryant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 33,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is on a tour of China and is scheduled to play in two exhibition games in the Philippines this weekend.
Ataman did not give details of the offer made to Bryant. Williams' deal is reportedly worth $200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to $350,000 a month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Bryant would be asking for significantly more. The players' deals would allow them to return to the NBA when the lockout ends.
When Williams signed, Ataman said a sponsor would pay his salary. When Ataman first discussed Bryant's interest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said the club would seek another sponsor to pay him. Ataman insisted Friday that the club had plenty of sponsors and plenty of money to pay Bryant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that a sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines was being discussed.
Bryant has a two-year endorsement deal with Turkish Airlines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although he said as recently as December that he had never been to Turkey.
Besiktas is trying to make the biggest splash in the business of luring locked-out NBA players, which would come in contrast to the news in its soccer program. The deputy chairman of Besiktas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Serdal Adali, and its soccer coach are among 31 people jailed recently in Turkey in connection with a match-fixing scandal.
But Besiktas remains one of the few teams with enough money to lure NBA players,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
AP Source: Cavaliers interested in Oden
A person with knowledge of the situation says the Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring the possibility of signing center Greg Oden, the former No. 1 overall pick whose NBA career has been sabotaged by injuries.
Recap: Cleveland vs. (ET)
Kobe Bryant has become the main facilitator recently for the Los Angeles Lakers and will try to assist his team for a third straight time Tuesday versus the New Orleans Hornets in the finale of a three-game homestand.
Kyrie Irving has been the main reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers are riding a season-high three-game winning streak and he will try to lead his team to victory again Tuesday versus the Golden State Warriors.
Passion and creativity part of the game, and life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for Larry Sanders
Larry Sanders could stab the sky and hope for the best. He's got the reach with a 7-foot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 6-inch arm span. He can run fast for a big man,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so getting back on defense is no problem.
