Verdão is one of the nicknames of the Palmeiras club, but the official basketball name of the team will be "Palmeiras/Lupo/Araraquara". The article also says that 60% of the games will be played in Araraquara and 40% in São Paulo (where most of Palmeiras fans are).
Oh I see. So from now on should we call it Palmeiras or Araraquara? What will you call it?

Araquara/Palmeiras said one of their targets is to sign a NBA player. I doubt they can manage to do that.

Baby has changed Flamengo for Paulistano.
Entire article: http://translate.google.com.br/trans...istory_state0=Numa das mais intrigantes movimentações do mercado do NBB até o momento, o pivô Rafael “Baby” Araújo está trocando o Flamengo pelo Paulistano, segundo fontes ligadas ao basquete rubro-negro e ao próprio jogador ( atualização: às 15:19 horas, recebemos a confirmação do Paulistano, via assessoria de imprensa ). In one of the most intriguing market movements of the NBB to date, the pivot Rafael "Baby" Araújo is trading at Flamengo, Sao Paulo, according to sources connected to the basketball red-black and the player himself (update: at 15:19 hours, we received Paulistano confirmation, via the press office).
Very interesting signing from Paulistano, but I think they don't have a team to fight for the championship yet. They need to add a few more pieces to reach that level, IMO.
Rumor: Joaquim Gomes to Universo Brasília? (in portuguese)
Some sources are pointing that the negotiations with the MVP from the last African Cup are really advanced with the Brasilia team.
Wow that's really surprising. Kikas should move out of Angola to a bigger stage, NBB would be just perfect. What the article mentions is true, many clubs in Brazil and not only disregard talents from other parts of the globe beyond the USA. The Portuguese-speaking world should be more explored in that sense.

I totally agree.
Guilherme Giovannoni signed with Universo/Brasília and will play the next edition of NBB.

Well, with this signing, Kika is a bit more distant from playing in Brazil (according to this source). If Universo/Brasilia can get him, I think they will be the clear favorites to win it all.
