Teams like the Spurs for example have made a great team from scouting international players, can we do the same and start looking for player over sease? do we have a scouting team that track down international players. |

The Lakers do have international scouting. Mitch also looks at players that scouts identify when he goes on vacation in Europe. He can line things up over the phone. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

I believe international scouting is the only reason why we have Sir Flops-A-Lot on the payroll. |

Isn't Rudy T supposed to be scouting for us as well? Both he and Vlade are good 'people' persons and are hopefully opening some doors overseas for us. |

Vlade also was a product of international scouting. He was a very solid center in his playing days. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

Spanish league is unreal. All great players from smaller countries go to play there. It's the only league that's worthy of scouting IMO. _________________ Agent 62 |

That is parly the reason why Vlade now mostly resides in Madrid. |

Vlade is well respected in Europe. He was one of a few Europeans to make it big, who entered the NBA at the time he did. Now, it is fairly common to have Europeans on teams, but Vlade was a sort of pioneer. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate.
