It looks like an Italian team is trying to sign Christian Laettner. Here's the link but it's in Italian: http://195.56.77.208/news/?id=99761

They are looking for a big man: Shawn Kemp is their first option then come Vin Baker and Laettner.

My opinion: Kemp might come, as for Laettner that's bull!

Thanks to the fine folks over at Yahoo! Babel Fish, here's a very rough translation of the article...

"Darius Rice is by now more than a certainty, and once covered the role of strong wing, the attentions of the Sutor Montegranaro are diverted towards a role center that will not have to make to mourn Sharrod Ford. When the Sutor has understood that it could not withhold Ford has quickly sondato the market putting in the view-finder the center Nathan Jawai. But when he seemed that the negotiation had arrived to the conclusion the player has been chosen to the draft with number 41 from Toronto Raptors. To this point, the strategies in gialloblù house are changed and for the titular center the attention has been moved towards expert players who have played in the Nba in the past few years. Shawn Kemp, 210 cm is one of the papabili for the role of pivot: a player who Carmenati knows very well in order to have trained it while the player tried to re-enter in turn NBA. Dallas, in 2006, gave an opportunity to it that for varied motivations did not go to good aim. Kemp in NBA always has giocat to the large one participating also to a end for l' ring, has won between l' other with the mesh of the United States the world-wide one of 1994 in Canada. An alternative to Kemp could be Vin Baker center of 210 cm that has crossed in Kemp career when it was called to replace it to Seattle (season 95-96). Baker has conquered the medal d' gold to Olympic Giochi of Sidney and has participated in four occasions to the All To be Game Nba. Also he as Kemp wants to try to recover in game. An other along on which they have been placed the attentions is Christian Laettner many years passed in the Nba with good result and has conquered with the fantastic Dream Team the medal d' gold to the Olympic Games of Barcelona. Regarding the guard, the Sutor has followed Langford before that the player, than the slid year had dressed the meshes of Soresina and Biella, was come to an agreement with the Virtus Bologna. Now the workers in a shoe factory are to the search of a player who has its characteristics and that he can play also from playmaker. Not only, the guard who will arrive to the Sutor will have oltremodo to be a discreet ferryman and above all a good defender since in the modern basketball the contests more than in attack they gain themselves in defense. Al moment the name and top secret but, we believe that us of it is more than and that for the moment it comes monitorato before being made official."

Now you know why Italian is considered a Romance language.

It would be an odd step for Laettner to take at this point, as he seems pretty busy with his business ventures, and I think he still wants to get into coaching. I guess just because a team targets someone doesn't mean that person is interested.
