    OK, let's just be clear here. There aren't any suicide bombers coming OUT of Israel. So, technically, the "home of suicide bombers" would likely be somewhere outside the borders of Israel.

    Secondly, Tel Aviv is about as safe as Israel gets. There hasn't been a suicide bomb there since April 2006. Hamas and Israel signed a truce in November of 2006 and since then the majority of the violence in Israel has been contained to the border near the Gaza Strip.

    Thirdly, Krstic grew up in freakin' Serbia. Israel is a cakewalk compared to any of the crap Milosevic pulled.

    Ignorance is bliss. And you spelled Israel wrong.

    Isreal sounds way cooler. I'd totally rename it to that if possible.

And by then, I was 7 years old and in Israel . I didn't even know she was dating him...jeez.

    Anyway, he would get huge money.</div>

    Cooool. Perry is one of the only Maccabi players of all-time who I actually like. He still lives in Israel, I believe.

    I hear Tel Aviv has some good SF's</div>

    NBA and Euro teams can't sign and trade, or trade at all. The only possible transaction between them is a buyout, I think. Anyway, Maccabi currently doesn't have any NBA caliber players, other than Casspi (who'll be in the 09 draft anyway) and Eliyahu (who belongs to Houston).

    Anyway, I had some good chuckles reading this thread.

    Maccabi don't have NEARLY enough money to sign Krstic. They have a player budget of around 17 million dollars. Krstic would probably cost around 8 million. I don't see them wasting half of their money to sign him. Olympiacos or CSKA, on the other hand, have a shot financially, but I don't see him just abandoning his NBA career like that for a few extra millions in Russia.
