Capitanes Arecibo from Puerto Rico added two big names to their roster to face the 2010 season. Former NBA guard/forward Bonzi Wells and guard Andrés Rodríguez are the first signings of the club which will try to reconquer the BSN title (starting March 4th next year) which escapes them since 2005. Both players will also take part in the Americas League and in the American PBL (Premier Basketball League).
Wells last played in China for Shanxi for half of last season
before being released, despite averaging 34 points and 14 rebounds. Previously the 33-year-old spent ten seasons in the NBA with the jerseys of the Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and New Orleans Hornets.
Former Puerto Rican international Rodríguez, 28,
was with Baskonia and had signed a temporary contract with the Spanish team.
(O Capitanes de Arecibo, de Porto Rico, reforçou o plantel com dois nomes de peso para a época 2010. O antigo base/extremo da NBA, Bonzi Wells, e o base Andrés Rodríguez são as primeiras contratações do clube que irá tentar reconquistar o título da BSN (a iniciar no dia 4 de Março do próximo ano), que lhes escapa desde 2005. Ambos os jogadores irão também disputar a Liga das Américas e a PBL (Premier Basketball League) norte-americana.
O último clube de Wells foi o Shanxi, da China, onde esteve durante metade da época transacta
antes de ser dispensado, apesar de ter obtido médias de 34 pontos e 14 ressaltos. Anteriormente, o jogador de 33 anos disputou dez temporadas na NBA com as camisolas dos Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets e New Orleans Hornets.
O antigo internacional porto-riquenho Rodríguez, de 28 anos,
encontrava-se ao serviço do Baskonia e tinha assinado um contrato temporário com a equipa espanhola.)
The decisive seventh game of the BSN playoff finals named a new champion, but did not come to an end. Capitanes Arecibo defeated former title holders Vaqueros Bayamón 73-62 on Friday, but with 1:49 left on the clock fans from the runner-up began throwing all sorts of objects on court for 15 minutes, so the game had to be interrupted and did not restart. The champions were already winning at halftime by 43-31.
