According to agent Henry Thomas, Michael Finley was not only contacted by a European team a month ago, but Finley turned down the offer.
"It's not something Michael wants to do at this point in his career," Thomas told Sporting News. "They were very interested in him, and they were impressed with his shooting ability and his experience. But he was not interested in going abroad."

Manu Ginobili, despite a lingering sprained left ankle, was named to the Argentina Olympic team on Friday, according to a report on ESPN.com.
Spurs' Coach Gregg Popovich said in June that Ginobili should "definitely not" play in the Olympics if his ankle, which he injured in the playoffs, doesn't improve.
"I had been playing more the last few days, and it had improved," said Ginobili earlier this month. "It feels great, and that makes me very happy."
