Carl Krauser

[TheStandard]

Should I pay 7500 dollars to the X to buy out Carl Krauser so he can start this weekend with my team in the BSN?
Hmmm. How would a specific someone in this board feel? If i took him away??? At such a crucial time.

No, no need to worry. CBA season ends soon. Carl will just be an insurance policy when he arrives to us in a few weeks after the CBA is completely done in making up their minds about a playoff format.

[psbf]

To my knowledge, C.K. is a valuable part of the X and will continue to be. So don't get your hopes up about another team getting him, Standard.

[FrontOffice]

Don't be dense. If the money is right, any player can be had by another league, at any time.

[SUNKINGS]

I heard the X are so solid, guys will play for free.

Is his pay consistent with his "high value to the X"?

[psbf]

seen any word on him, I don't know what he makes, nor do I care. What I do care about is that he is a valuable addition to the team. I know that Antonio Gates was so good that he earned a trip to France to play for them and I have yet to hear anything on Shawn Fountain. As our head coach said, that's what this league is about. As far as I know, Krauser is still with us. If he gets a chance to play overseas, good for him. We have enough depth(on the X) that we can continue on. So all you X pessimists, dream on!

[FrontOffice]

Antonio Gates is a hell of a TE for the Chargers but if you mean Antonio Graves, then we can talk about basketball some more

[TheStandard]

He's already part of our team. Just that we're not paying 7500 dollars for him to leave and show up right now. He will just show up once your season is over.

[PikevilleOT]

Krauser hasnt been playing lately... perhaps injured? know he wasn't on the bench in Pitt for the Miners game the 22nd...maybe already headed to Standard's team.....

Standard, what is your team in the BSN? other American's on the roster?

[psbf]

Sorry, I meant Graves, not gates(my miscue-oops). And your right, ot, he was placed on injured reserve to which he is probably still on which rules out Standard's hopes.

Carl is not injured according to him and his agent. I'm just having doubts of what managment and main ownership would have to pay 7500 dollars on a buy out. Truax contacted me because i feel the Agent is playing hardball for some reason.
Since if it is a buyout 7500 have to go to the X and not to the player and agent.

Ponce Lions.

Jeff Aubry, Garnett Thompson, Carl Krauser although Carl is really listed as a Native/Community Player due to the fact that he's from the Virgin Islands and is a member of their National team.

There was another CBA guy who played for Great Falls who is now in the BSN i mentioned it on the Great Falls fold post, forgot his name at the moment.

I can compile a list of americans & foreigners that are going to be in the BSN which tips off tonight at 6:OOpm EST.

BSN Games wont be available to Cable Superstation WAPA America until Mid March. But, found out that Tutv.which is a PBS channel in Puerto Rico will have a live stream http://www.tutv.puertorico.pr/tutv/tutv_online_a.htm

[PikevilleOT]

marlyn bryant was the GF player...

[PikevilleOT]

yes please put together a list of American players (even those with foreign visa's)... thanks very much

[TheStandard]

I will. Because there are many guys from specifically New York that you would think they're american due to their last name and to come find out that they're really from Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Aruba, Venenzuela.

for example Kyle Neptune, who is now playing in the BSN and was playing in Lithuania was born in New York but carries a Trinidad and Tobago Passport.

This is something i learned from other gentelmen that run teams in other countries such as Europe.

The first thing they in regards of a player especially the caucasian ones or the ones of french decent such as senegal,ghana, do they have a european passport. if they do they are natives if they dont they get mad and have to use a foreigner spot.

Its also a money thing.

[SUNKINGS]

He is challenging you Standard , I will kick in another 500.00

[psbf]

Standard, if I don't take your word for it, about Krauser. I need sources, since C.K. is a former Pitt player and considered a local product.

[preeths]

Local product or not, don't take it personally. TheStandard generally has some very good inside information in these areas.

[PikevilleOT]

Standard, any word on any players on the EK Miners roster? I hear there is one might be heading to PR....

[heavesrock]

Local product really doesn't mean anything. I was born in Arizona, never been outside of North America, but I am still eligible to play for for both Austrian and
German National teams.

[TheStandard]

Standard, if I don't take your word for it, about Krauser. I need sources, since C.K. is a former Pitt player and considered a local product.

Yes he went to Pitt and yes hes playing two arenas where you can hear the crickets instead of crowds. Trust, me Carl is going to love 5 to 12 thousand on any given night. Oh wait, Hes going to love the money.

Why dont you give his agent a call? His name is Keith Glass. Or call the X since. I know for a fact players begin to fake injuries when higher contracts are in other places for them to attain or already have.

But rest assured he's not showing up till either the X release him or the CBA Season for the X is over.

[TheStandard]

After making some phone calls and emails and pm's

I get the answer.

7500 is really what the agent wants as a bonus for Krauser to show up early. Not going to happen. When you can wait for the CBA season to finish and you pay nothing.

10k is what the CBA has as a buyout fee. The money goes to the CBA and the X get part of it. That is if Carl wanted to play anywhere between today and till the day of the CBA's final championship game. -The Source. Dennis Truax oh yes boys league head's check the boards. CBA, ABA,PBL even the BSN they want to know what we know and what we say.

[TheStandard]

Standard, any word on any players on the EK Miners roster? I hear there is one might be heading to PR....

i can find out but if he does its 10k buyout to the CBA or just wait till the last game of the finals and get him for no buyout cost.

[PikevilleOT]

the player I am speaking of says it would be after the season. the players hear report being well taken of by our management... refreshing when I read the horrific stories out of ATL and GF....and some other teams have had less publicized strife behind the scenes also.

just curious if you knew of temas there with interest in any EK players.

Well i know that Jackson was being viewed by a few teams, same goes for Pace, and Dean but mostly Jackson maybe price wise?

[psbf]

I'l pass, Standard, thanks. No need to make a call. I did send an email concerning this, to the X but have not heard back yet. As far as Krauser, I'll wait to see it officially. I admit that the Xplosion are not as reliable with their transaction news, but I still preferr to get it from them first.

[SUNKINGS]

I am sure your emails are on the block list and have been fowarded to the Department of Homeland security. When is the last time they have your answered one of your "promote more" emails.

[TheStandard]

The Xplosion didn't say anything about Pittsnoggle going to Puerto Rico last year so don't expect squat from them in regards of Krauser.

Anyways BSN Pre-game is on on the link that i provided before.

80 years of this league and no ABAish things going on

[TheStandard]

http://www.tutv.puertorico.pr/tutv/tutv_online_a.htm
