    Doesn't look like it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miloš_Teodosić

    Now, who knows about opt-out/buy-out clauses, but Morey might not be checking out Teodosic after all. :)

    Kirilenko doesn't make too much sense either. Nor does Kristic.
    Alexey Shved I could see but he's apparently under contract until 2013 as well.

    I'm guessing he's talked to Adrien about re-joining the team and is just looking at all these guys out there, regardless of their respective contract situation.

    WOW, I've been in Moscow this same week and I have 2 identical pictures to those ones of Morey. I've been on a touristic trip in Russia, and the first days I was wondering all the time about the Rockets deadline... unbelieveable if I meet Daryl Morey at the Red Square and can ask him directly. What a coincidence, unbelieveable.

    By the way, I said before of leaving Riga that I expected the ultimate move from the Rockets this deadline... Fail on me. :(

    About what the hell is he doing in Moscow, I'd say that the Euroleague game between CSKA and Bilbao of tomorrow is probably the main reason, but don't rule out more reasons like the ones that cod mentioned.

    I've thought all the year that D'or Fischer (Bilbao basket center) has reached a very high level at his strenghts, I think he could be an intriguing center for the NBA. Of course like you know, we hold the rights of Hervelle as well, and Aaron Jackson (Bilbao PG) is probably a top PG in Europe at this moment. Teodosic's contract expires in 2014 and does not seem very interested in the NBA right now, so -you never know, but- I would keep an eye on different guys.

    You are right, he was at the CSKA/Bilbao game and tweeted about it:

    Apparently CSKA is sponsored by Mortal Kombat

    And their cheerleaders come from Baylor:

    Heh, he re-tweeted me. :)

    He came for Alexey Shved

    The guy that is the biggest Javale McGee fan in the former Soviet Union
