Alexis Ajinça ??will find the NBA. The French interior just signed with the New Orleans Pelicans.

A-390-edf-France-dunk-ajincaC'est the big news of the evening. Alexis Ajinça ??just found a spot in the big league. The pivot Strasbourg should include the rotation of the New Orleans Pelicans. The présidet the SIG announced at a press conference tonight.

Surprise of the European Championship, Alexis Ajinca has grown enormously since his return to France with Strasbourg. This year, he even had the opportunity to rub shoulders with top European hubs in Euroleague.

Hoping that all his efforts bear fruit on the other side of the Atlantic.

Alexis Ajinça va rencontre Pierre le Pélican en personne. Et ça, ça vaut toutes les offres d'Euroleague ou d'ailleurs en NBA.


Pierre in french is Pierre, for those of you who didn't know

URGENT BASKET Alexis Ajinça ??leaving Strasbourg and joined the New Orleans Pelicans in NBA

Alexis Ajinça ??will meet Peter the Pelican in person. And that is all offers Euroleague or elsewhere in the NBA.

Larry Brown said when he went to France to see the new player the Bobcats had drafted for him he literally got sick to his stomach at how soft he was. I would think danman was right about him being a 10 dayer except you can't use 10 day contracts until January. Probably an unguaranteed deal though.

So AD is supposed to be back in a few games, and Stiemsma has to be back sooner or later, why sign Anjica now? Just acquiring assets, or is Stiemsma not going to be in a Pelicans uniform when he comes back? He is the most likely trade filler contract.

Wouldn't shock me

Kinda of a bummer, he has a reasonable contract and was starting to fit into a role before he got hurt

But yea, this wouldn't surprise me. Put him in a package with Gordon and some other piece for a good 3 or 5 and have this frog play Stiemsma's minutes at C. Sounds good to me.

Monty has also said favorable things about Withey recently. It makes no sense for Anjica to leave a Euroteam to fight for minutes with AD/Smith/Stiemsma/Withey. But if Demps told him 10-15 MPG is about to open up...A trade coming is really the only way this makes sense.

Won't look good when you actually see him play. He's a terrible player. He'll make you miss Steimsma. They couldn't be more different players, which is why the signing would be weird. A rail thin, soft 7 footer who doesn't rebound. Who knows
