The Malaga-born Cabezas, 26, has always played for the club that he helped capture a Spanish ACB title seasons ago. "It's true that the Orlando Magic are interested in Carlos Cabezas," Cabezas' agent Gorka Arrinda said to PA SportsTicker. We are right now looking at numbers to see if that move is feasible before we sit down and begin negotiations. Like many Spain internationals, Cabezas has a big buy-out clause. In his case, it is 1.7 million euros (2,316,000 US dollars)." Cabezas, who along with Jorge Garbajosa and Walter Herrmann won that ACB title in 2006, has seen his stock rise ever since. He made Spain's squad for the FIBA World Championship in Japan and was instrumental in the team winning the gold medal. Garbajosa signed with the Toronto Raptors last summer while Herrmann joined the Charlotte Bobcats. This year, after leading Unicaja to the Euroleague Final Four in Athens for the first time in team history, he suffered an eye injury on a drive to the basket in their semi-final against CSKA Moscow and needed an operation. Doctors were worried about possible lasting damage to a tear duct, but he returned after missing several games and has fully recovered. "Orlando are the only NBA team to have shown an interest in Cabezas," Arrinda said. "We have not received an official offer yet from them, but they are hoping that the player will join them this coming season." The Magic have been interested in Spanish players before. They drafted Fran Vazquez of Spain 11th overall in the 2005 draft but the big center shocked the team by choosing to remain in Spain. Cabezas is in Pepu Hernandez's team for the EuroBasket which Spain will host later this year. </div>

<div class="quote_poster">CLos Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">lol Otis Smith isn't Isiah Thomas.</div> True. Lol. I haven't hear much but here is his biography. Sounds good, but with already 2 PG's and possible Armstrong coming to town, this guy needs to go elsewhere. Wikipedia <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It measures 1,86 meters. Pertaining to the gold generation of the Spanish basketball, with which it gained the championship of the world junior of Lisbon in 1999, and the world-wide Championship of 2006 basketball. It has not been easy him to arrive at the absolute internationality with his Selection in official competition due to the good generation of Spanish bases, like Jose Manuel Calder?n, Ra?l Lopez or Carles Marco. Finally, its effort with a position for the world-wide Championship of 2006 basketball was awarded. In addition, it has participated in all the successes of this generation. It has developed all his race like professional in the Unicaja Malaga, to which it promoted from the inferior categories of the club the season 00-01. The previous year had already played started off with the first equipment, and when finalizing the season of league EBA was yielded to finish the campaign with the Badajoz circle of league LEB.

At the moment, an equipment of NBA, the Jazz of Utah, has been interested in their half-full services for of this season or the next one. According to an official notice his, it seems to have seen with good eyes that interest, and would be a great passage in his race in which it thinks that he is able to give it. </div>
I don't see a problem with signing him. Foreign PG's have translated pretty well to the NBA recently (Calderon/Parker/Barbosa/Diaw, etc) and this guy is still young, so it's not like we are getting a 35 year old dude. Also like this article says he is a winner. He will bring the winning spirit to our ball club, something that we don't really have right now. At least bring him to training camp and then figure out whether or not you want him or not. I bet this guy is better than Arroyo and Diener. If we don't get Earl Watson at PG, let's get him. btw, anyone know his size or what type of player he is?
Let's just sign him to a 20 million dollars a year too. If Rashard is worth that much, I'm sure a European pirate is bound to be worth just as much too.
