    On this link the title is ''Galatasaray bolster frontcourt by signing Nevriye Yılmaz and Sancho Lyttle''


    If Galatasaray have already signed with them, whey it is not announced yet on the offical page of Galatasaray. I hope these news are true and I will watch these two players in Galatasaray jerseys. We already have Fowles, Wauters and Bahar so if we add Nevriye and Lyttle our 4-5 position would be awesome :cheesy: :cheesy: One more thing, I have been following this site for a long time and I didn't read any wrong news there. I have already seen such news before so I beleive it is true. :win:

    Ros Casares and Cras Basket Taranto will not participate to Euroleague next year so FIBA has wild cards. I have read that Turkey has one wild card and will participate with 3 teams(Galatasaray , Fenerbahce and wild card). The candidates for wild card:


    -Kayseri Kaski: The team played final in Eurocup last year and they have transferred very good players such as Asija Jones(2012 Euroleague MVP), Evanthia Maltsi(2009 Eurobasket MVP), Nuria Martinez(Spanish NT guard) and Nicky Anosike(from WNBA).They will keep Latoya Sanders(who will have a Turkish citizenship next year, for me she was the best player in Eurocup last year). They have some good local players as well. However what I have heard is that the team wants to win Eurocup next year and not very interested in wild card.


    Botaş: Botaş played semifinal in Eurocup last year and finished 5th in the league(they couldn't make it to the semi final in the league). There are rumors that they will build a strong team for next year and their aim will be to win Eurocup as well as Kayseri Kaski. They aren't very interested in wild card as well.


    İstanbul Üniversitesi: They have built a very strong team for next year. They finished last in the league last year but they will play play out next year(I have described above).They have transferred Irına Osipova(RUS NT), Essence Carson(she played final with Rivas in Euroleague), Jessica Davenport(WNBA - Indiana Fever), Tuğba Palazoğlu (TUR NT), Nilay Kartaltepe(TUR NT, she was the assist leader of Eurocup last year).They have still one spot for European player and I believe if they will get wild card this player,the player will be the same level as the other foreigners in the team. Even though if they can't get wild card for Euroleague, they want to play in Eurocup.


    Tarsus Belediyesi:They finished second to the last in the league last year(11th) and will play play out as well as İstanbul Üniversitesi.They have transferred Amaya Valdemore(Spain NT, one of the best players in women's basketball history) and Cindy Lima(Spain NT). It is said that if they will get wild card for Euroleague they will transfer Erica De Souza(Perfumerias Avenida, WNBA-Atlanta Dream) and the leagend Delisha Milton Jones. :super:


    I am curious which team will get wild card but it seems 8 teams from Turkey will participate to European Cups next season(3 Euroleague and 5 Eurocup) :super: :thumbsup:
