Ingles signed by Barcelona!

Paul, given the high number of Greek's in Melbourne and to a lesser extent Sydney, Olympiakos or Panathinaikos woudl also be good teams to bring out given Nielsen and Maric are on their teams. Now that Iverson nis at Besiktas alongside Ogilvy, they too would be a good choice to bring out to Oz.

This explains the likely move:

According to http://basket-spot.blogspot.com, there are two new signings from two ACB clubs. Regal Barcelona, relatively shocked against Fenerbahce at Palau Blaugrana, reinforced the squad with Joe Ingles, the CB Granada player. The injury of Gianluca Basile and the below par performance from Ricky Rubio probably made Javi Pascual take that decision. Ingles played with his national team at the World Championships in ?stanbul, where they were eliminated at last 16 stage against Slovenia

Wow - that is a massive move from Ingles. If it goes through, it is yet another Aussie on one of the biggest teams in world basketball.

Barcelona are one of the favourites to not only win the Spanish ACB, but also Euroleague as well.

Wow. that's huge. The Spanish ACB is easily the 2nd best domestic competition in the world, behind the NBA.
IMO, though, the ACB is more pure basketball and so pretty to watch.
Best of luck to Joe. He will learn an unbelievable amount. He will be around guys like Navarro, Rubio, F.Vasquez. Let's not forget Barcelona bet the Lakers earlier this year! :p

Correct on both accounts.

Joe may not get as much court time as when he was with Granada but FCB they play a large rotation as they have a strong bench (plus they have had a few injuries and players out of form this season).

This could be good for Joe's NBA aspirations too as most of the Barcelona squad are under constant watch from NBA scouts.

Be interesting if Joe makes it for the Euroleague match this week. They play Caja Laboral (who are also in the Euroleague) next weekend in the Spanish league which is a massive game too.
