You are probably right about that. They have Rubio the kid from Spain and Jonny Flynn.
What's funny is that they traded a Gator and then pick one up...........Calathes will probably stay with Greece unless the the Twolves are in the mood for trading one more Gator

 

[Floridagators13]

yeah he will end up staying in greece.

Wolves trade Calathes to Dallas

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded second-round pick Nick Calathes to the Dallas Mavericks for a 2010 second-round pick and cash considerations.

The Wolves selected the Florida guard with the 45th overall pick. But with first-rounders Ricky Rubio, Jonny Flynn and Wayne Ellington already coming to a jam-packed roster, the Wolves really didn't have room for Calathes this season.

I hope that :censored: does. Play in Greece :censored: or I hope the Spurs or Ron Artest smacks him around like the :censored: he is.

he messed up by leaving UF...

:hammer:

Geez guys take it easy on the kid. I think he should have stayed for his own benefit, but I wish him nothing but the best of luck in the future.

Dallas is a good fit for Calathes and they got great value for a mid second round pick. He'll definitely still play in Greece, but can join the Mavs in 2010-2011. By drafting him, don't they hold the rights to Calathes?

 

[FLAGator]

I think I heard that the rights to him only last for a year.

The Mavs hold Calathes' right indefinitely. They can terminate their rihts to his contract whenever they'd like. He could play overseas for a year and then try to make it in the NBA, or he could do like players such as Gibobili did and play overseas for 3 years after being drafted to make sure he is ready to contribute right away in the NBA.

Calathes Decides To Play In Greece

Posted: 10:21 pm EDT June 29, 2009

Former Lake Howell and Florida Gators standout Nick Calathes told Channel 9 that he made his decision to honor his contract with Greece and play overseas. Calathes was selected 45th overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves and then traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
Prior to Thursday's draft, Calathes agreed to a 2 year deal with an option for a third that would pay him $3.5 million dollars with Euroleague team Panathinaikos. Both he and the Mavericks thought it would be best for the guard to play in Europe where he'll get more playing time to sharpen his skills.

Hopefully he can play in the NBA after his time in Greece, I'd hate for him to dissapear in the Euro leagues.
