Mexico national team

Najera might not be playing the ToA after all. Insurance costs around 100k which is a lot of money. Horford pays for example only 18k to play for DR.
With that in mind, I doubt that Watson will report to the team.

But thats for Cocaba only right?

[Mojado]

Najera already called off his participation for CoCaBa.This is about ToA...hope he can get his sh*t together and finally participate..kind of a diva to me.

Why is Najera's insurance so High, to begin with

[Mojado]

Guess beause his injury riddled career. Guy is known to be injury prone and he is old, so I guess they are demanding more money off him then off Horford, who is young and stayed mostly injury free.

[alermac]

I think insurance costs are related to salary, age and injury history.

but Al Horford made 4 millions this past season, and Nejera a little more than 3

[Mojado]

Its more about your history with injuries combines with your age and the possibility to sustain again such an injury which is high regarding Najera.
He worked already a bit with the NT in Cancun...nothing spectacular though:

Also interesting: No Avila, C.Hernandez, H. Hernandez, Castillo, Mata and Watson in Cancun.

Is Najera's contract that much bigger than Horford's in order to justify such a big (over five-fold) difference in the insurance sum?

P.S. Ought to read all posts till the end of the page :-)
Najera has missed a lot of games in his career but his contract is relatively low. Horford has missed 15 games last year. But 18.000 USD... that's pretty much nothing.

More about Najera. I doubt that he will play...

No word about Earl Watson in the Mexican media.
Guess he changed his mind and won't show up at all.
Also not included are Hector Hernandez and Chris Hernandez, as they did not appear in any of the games played so far.

What's the latest on Najera and Watson?

[Mojado]

Mexico plays tomorrow in Mexico City against Uruguay once more before departing to San Juan on the 25th of August.

Najera and Watson are out of the tournament.

in that case, Mexico just became one of the worst teams in this touney after being considered a serious contender.


LOL that's really funny

Told you...

I always backed Najera when he was backing out of the national team. This time, he can kiss my ash. Watson never was serious about the NT, he is not even a pocho, I doubt he took the whole thing serious.
Hope Beck does not get suspended for the fight. Wanna shake his hand in San Juan.

Sounds like the New Jersey Nets are not letting Najera play, invoking an injury rule as the Mavericks did with JJ Barea.... http://www.interbasket.net/news/3725...ricas-tourney/
