Good for V-Span, he got what he wants, we got Scola.....fair trade. As for what it proves, nothing.....time will tell. DD
Back To Europe Aug 20 - Euroleague champion Panathinaikos has announced the return of Vassilis Spanoulis, a former all-Euroleague point guard with the Greens. Spanoulis arrives after one season with Houston of the NBA. Spanoulis is a reigning European champion with the Greek national team, with whom he also won a silver medal at last fall's World Championships. He and the Greens signed a three-year contract. -- Euroleague.net Spanoulis signed his new contract (three years contract -- until July of 2010) for an amount of nearly 5 million euros. He is the most highly paid Green player. -- Eurobasket.com ---from ESPN Insider
Now that he is back in Europe, I wonder if there is any chance that he will, just for curiosity sake, be checking out the amount of playing time either Aaron Brooks or Luis Scola (especially him) wind up getting next season from time to time since they are both rookies. He will have to take into account that a different head coach is coaching the team, though. On the other hand, he might be too concerned with what is going on with his Greek team from Panathinaikos that either he might not care all that much or just won't have time to think about it. If he ever decides to give playing in the NBA a second try at some time down the road, he will have to come in with a much different mental approach than what he came in with last season, as far as getting playing time is concerned.
Not suprisin' for me at all...They really don't need VSPan. They have Parker, Udrih and Vaughn. That's all. VSpan is a solid player and I hope he'll have a great carrier in Europe
why give someone chances if they arent good enough? How do you know adelman would have? its the same guy that didnt barely played g. wallace and k. martin in their first years. but you are right...vpsan came in with an ego and felt he was owed something and when it wasnt given to him he pouted and cried to mommy
he knows. he just thought his didn't work all last year when it was just a matter of he needed the adapter for a US connection. People kept telling him, but his ego got in the way of understanding..."I don't need to adapt to my US connections; they need to adapt to me. And what does that have to do with my razor not working anyhow? I'm a STAR in Greece, dammit"
Wow -- 23 pages in that other thread, but the sensible truth never emerged. This explains everything: the scruff, the confusion, the melancholy.
HAHA- this is sweet... i feared that VSpan might somehow turn around and become like some amazing pg. nice to see that that cant happen. the legend of morey grows,
yep, morey knew VSpan was only worth tossing around as fodder in a trade. Morey was RIGHT...and so was Aldeman for not caring what happened to a bench scrub. the over/under grows as well.
"Billy" To Return To Rockets in 2010? http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1925731#post1925731 Anyone know Adelman's contract term length and any Greek fans know if these figures on Spanoulis' contract are true?
BBall SockPuppeteer strikes again. If you haven't read the bizarre, hilarious thread in NBA Dish, you missed him.

In between watch BBall SockPuppeteer throw an utterly bizarre hissy fit.
FYI for anyone interested, SmitingPurple and Sam are the same person. Their IP's while different are traced to the same source with tracking software, just two different connection types. The evidence is not only overwhelming, it's frankly beyond damning. Apparently "they" or should I say he or she didn't realize there is software that allows any user to view the source codes on a forum.
