    Found this on RealGM.

    Delfino wants out (Spanish article)

    Here is the translation:

    Looks like Carlos Delfino's seriously pissed at Larry Brown. Detroit might want to trade him or just cut him before he causes problems in the locker rooms. Do you guys want to grab this guy? He is on his $1 million per year rookie contract, and has two more years left if no one picks up his fourth year option.

    From what I watched him play, he's a pretty intriguing player. He's no where near Ginobili, but he has pretty good handle and athleticism. He plays hard defense, and is only 22. Maybe he's worth our try?

    BTW, I seriously question Larry Brown's ability to work with international players. He has had troubles with Milicic, Okur, Arroyo and Delfino. I mean, it couldn't be all their fault, right?

    Also, when he was in Philly, he had problems with Matt Harpring. Then Harpring left for the Jazz, and became a pretty good player. Samething happened to Okur. Maybe Delfino can also become a pretty good player on some other teams if given the chance. Any thoughts?

    I don't really blame Brown for leaving Delphino off the roster considering his production. That being said, I think Brown is the most overrated coach in the league and a giant prick. Brown is just pissed that Delphino and crew kicked his butt in the olympics.

    Since LB is likely gone then Delfino may rise up in Detroit.

    I worked with Larry Brown in San Antonio, he is an A$$hole, I can't stand the guy.

    Sure bring on Delfino...just to piss off Brown.

    i am glad how things worked out that summer when we were looking for a coach.

    everyone and thier mom wanted LB, some wanted dunleavy....and no one was really happy with JVG early on. now he has emerged as the best choice from that summer. another good job by les and CD.


    i don't think we really need delfino. we are set in the backcourt. in the draft we will most likely get an athletic 3.

    LB won a championship in Detroit though...

    Anyway, we need young athletic players, and I think Delfino is like that.
