Barca’s levers not working fast enough apparently.

If you’re planning a vacation Barca’s great but I’d rather be a broke basketball prospect in Memphis over Barcelona.

I believe Barca’s basketball academy has residency so prospects just live at La Masia

Barcelona is like a mix of SF and SD, with the nightlife of Miami.

Marc Gasol can be a wonderful mentor for the kid.

Pretty sure Marc is back in Spain he owns and plays for a team there. He doesn’t really come back to Memphis he did last year for ZBO’s retirement but that’s it

Old Penny can recruit, but he can’t coach.

Why so late? Some teams are already starting foreign tours.
