Will Soloman was signed like at the beginning of summer or something. He was with the grizzlies before, but come on Dime step your game up.

How about we stop using the purple dinosaur logo that was retired about 5 years ago?
Dime is right on top of things with this post.

Solomon is NOT a star in the Euroleague, he is more like a decent role-player.

The same way than Ukic or Dragic were really far from being the european elite.

This proves exactly what I’ve been saying all along, and why Kobe laughs off the $50 mil rumors surrounding him and Lebron: if you want to be the best, you have to play with the best. If you have heart and pride and you play basketball, the NBA is the pinnacle. I’d even guess for most players they would rather win an NBA championship than a Gold Medal.

As big Sia says:
“Leaguers are Leaguers.”

and that’s one exclusive club, I’ll tell you what.

I thought I heard this before so I looked into it – Solomon signed with the Raps on July 28th….this news is three months old.

Soloman did what I imagine most guys who go overseas early would do. They got their money, had their fun lighting up the euroleague, but at a certain point the lure of making it in the ‘league’ is too much to turn down if an offer comes along.

I imagine Will is on a minimum contract and probably lost over a Mill on leaving the euro scene, but its good to see a player come to play for the competition and love of the game, rather than fixate on the money aspect.
