Translation: "Alec Peters: "The transition to CSKA is an easy choice" the new CSKA basketball striker @petersalec in the interview @MatchTV told about the change of Phoenix to Moscow, golf and favorite TV series."

Or a new thread can be started.

Spartan, you can go to your original post that you started this thread with and modify the original title to, say, Alec Peters in the Pros." The whole string, I believe, will reconfigue itself.

Done.

This is pretty cool. It sounds like Alec is going to blogging.

One thing we know is Alec will not be involved in helping Trump get re-elected. Putin could be another story.

Here's an interesting video on some of Alec's teammates.

Glancing at the Russian front.

Looks like Alec's probably the starting power forward, but playing in what looks like a deep rotation - maybe because of lots of games, and inferior competition?

8-0 in the VTB United League
7-0 in the Euroleague

Peters 19 MPG (6th) in Euroleague, 7.7 PPG (7th), 3.3 RPG
7.2 PPG, 15.3 MPG in VTB

And sort of an odd tweet from Alec. I'm not sure if he's intentionally trying to draw attention to this, or what.

Presumably it'll be public record soon enough.

He's probably referencing what he was paid while in the NBA/G-League.

My best guess is that he was annoyed that a newspaper reported his purchase of property. To be honest I wouldn't want other people knowing my business either. But by addressing his displeasure about it probably just ended up drawing more attention to it. I don't think this was a situation of a humble brag.

Was t the land owned by the town or city or whatever?? Seems like that would and should be reported on regardless of who is buying it.

Any real estate transaction is eventually recorded public info, right? (And, because of the arrangement with city owned property, it may wind up in the city council minutes in a month or so.) But, obviously, it doesn't always wind up reported prominently in the newspaper.

I assume he was talking about the land purchase rather than the G league/two-way salary because he said "off the court". But, maybe he considers his salary "off the court". (The salary number was lower than what I had in mind... I thought he'd spent enough days with the Suns to push his number closer to NBA rookie pay, or at least the max two-way pay which I thought was higher. But, still, it was larger than the usual G league number.)

It sounded like the municipality was leasing the property for something. I do believe it becomes public record, but technically I think he could have technically purchased the land through a trust or put the land in the name of a LLC to provide more privacy. Either way in a town that small everyone knows the business of a local public figure like AP.

Good for him. It sounds like he's being conservative anc financially responsible with his money. I believe AP is making a lot more $ overseas with his Euro League club than he would on a two way contract with the NBA.

valpotx · November 23, 2018, 01:36:58 PM

Right, I was assuming that since he spent a decent amount of time on the NBA roster, that he made more than $77,500

Alec has hit his stride, and is knocking down the shorter international 3s on a regular basis:
