Calling all French Spurs Fans

Can any of you give me an update on Nando De Colo? Are there any reports of him signing with the Spurs?

I was pointed to this article by a friend. The Google translation indicates that he might be getting an offer from the Spurs, but I'm not putting much stock in it.

Thanks, ATS.

Fraschilla indicated on draft night that it was a possibility

And he’s espn’s resident euro expert, Id be interested to see what he’s all about

Would that mean we also have to say goodbye to the JV??

Damn. So far no love from French Spurs fans.

Guess they don’t exist.

Give them time. It’s summer over there, which means it doesn’t really get dark until almost 11pm.

That was one of the weirder aspects of vacationing over there. Dinner starts about 9pm, and when you leave the restaurant, you still have some twilight left. It’s strangely fascinating.

Spain is the same way. Dinner starts at like 10 pm. I loved it over there.

Well, technically … wait, no.

You’re right bella. As much as you tried to hurt me earlier today, I have to do what’s right here.

French from Cholet, living now in the US...

Hello, I am from Cholet. We don’t know either if the Spurs are going to sign him yet. The article says that De Colo, if not signed by the Spurs, will play with Valence, Spain next season. If the Spurs sign him now, then he will probably do the summer league. Otherwise he will play with the French National team this summer. I have read somewhere that Valence asked De Colo to give them a decision by July 12th. So I guess we should be fixed by then.

This is a very exciting game, and De Colo played great as usual.
