Earl Boykins CUT from Italian Club! More time for Koponen?

Earl Boykins has received frequent attention from this blog. This was mostly because of his station as the player that made Koponen's minutes inconsistent and role ambiguous. (Although he made another special appearance after getting outplayed by our man Akeem Scott.) Even as H.T. updated us with game after game featuring Boykins racking up ridiculous amounts of turnovers, we figured he would nonetheless remain a fixture of the team, him being the highest paid player in league history and all.

Ladies and Gentleman, those days are over. Thanks as always to H.T. for the news break that Earl Boykins has been cut by Virtus Bologna:

Virtus Bologna will cut Earl Boykins. The president of Virtus, Claudio Sabatini announced it to Sky Sport: 'The player have asked us 4 days of holiday but we did not give them to it. However, he decided to fy to US today. This is an unacceptable behavior for a guy born in '94. We have clear ideas on what we have to do'.

Boykins during the game against Ferrara has almost striked not shooting during the entire game and having a behavior on the parquet that has raged the fans and the coaching staff.

Bolonia may ink the experienced point guard Melvin Booker to replace the former NBA player.

With no other pointguards on the roster at the moment this leaves Petteri Koponen at the helm. The team will probably sign another pointguard, but unless it is another expensive player (which 36 year old Melvin Booker is not), we can assume Petteri's role will be expanded. Thanks for being an ass Boykins.
