BEIRUT: The Lebanese Basketball Federation (FLBB) is looking to naturalize American centers Loren Woods of Riyadi or Sagesse's Darryl Watkins after current national team player Jackson Vroman was deemed too expensive to represent The Cedars any longer.

Vroman is believed to earn around $50,000 a month which is currently well over FLBB's budget for naturalized players.

The FLBB are looking for players who are prepared to earn around $10-15,000 a month, a sum that Woods, 33, is already believed to have agreed upon although no progress has been made in terms of which player is currently preferred by the FLBB.
