Quite a big thing:

The League signed a TV deal today. 50+ games will be broadcasted by Deutsches SportFernsehen (DSF) each Friday or Saturday evening. International viewers might even get the chance to see it free of charge using zattoo.com

The number of games might be increased if it's a success as it's an exclusive 3-year-deal.

The first game to be broadcasted is the ChampionsCup between Oldenburg and Bonn on October, 3rd. It can be watched live and free of charge on tv.dsf.de

Struggling Paderborn Baskets signed free agent big man Terence Dials yesterday as a replacement to injured center Nate Gerwig. Dials played for Orleans in France in the 2008/2009 season.

It was a risky move by Eisbären Bremerhaven and it really seemed to be paying off as Rodney Buford averaged 17 PPG so far this season.
But now the club decided to part ways with the former NBA player, because Buford did not return from the States to Germany. The team had allowed Buford to fly home because a close relative had died. As he did not come back to Germany the management tried to contact him, but he did not answer any calls or messages. Now Bremerhaven decided to cancel his contract and looks for a replacement.

Andrew Drevo is back to Germany, and will play for Bremerhaven

I could watch him in Sant Josep Girona, and I think he's a good player. In preseason Girona played against Barcelona, and he was the best player in the first half of the match. I don't know why they waived him.

Ludwigbsurg signed Marcus Hall, ex-Casale.
I guess they arent happy with Kyle Bailey.

That's Casale's official homepage, isn't it? Have you seen him play?

Unfortunately, I did not watched him playing in Italy.

Bamberg and Eric Taylor parted ways. Woma will lure him to Poland soon.

There are unconfirmed rumours now about bringing in Spencer Nelson.

Transfer window in Germany will close on the last day of February.

Bamberg in talks with a PF/SF who played in Cologne during his career.

Could be Brian Greene, Edin Bavcic or Marko Keselj, but signing one of Bavcic/Keselj isn't probable imo. Glen McGowan is more of a 4/5.

Edit: Ludwigsburg released Kyle Bailey.
