    haha I see what you did there. Good one.

    I think this will be a good pick up. The guy has size for a SF, can shoot it, plays hard, plays D, and just plays a smart game (low TOs). We need some of that on this team. Paying slightly more for it shouldn't be to big of a issue.

    I just think most fans on here are still so upset about losing Parsons for 15+mil that any other move (that is not bringing in a known all-star) is regarded as a waste of money and the player is garbage. I feel like Morey is changing the team to have more toughness. One or two more moves for some scoring (PG) and I think we are good. I do have a feeling he will pull off a trade before the season starts.

    Jeeeeez, Morey, you just saved $15,000,000 a season for three seasons. Don't get too cheap on this guy.

    Seriously, we need all the help we can get right now. Just throw in the extra $500k or whatever it is and let's move on.

    I am really hoping this deal gets done. The more I think of it, the more this kid reminds me of a young Shane Battier (no stat All State supreme).

    He has a similar size and athleticism, and people all comment on his toughness, defensive effort, on court intelligence, outside shooting ... sounds very Battieresqu.

    (Read the section about the NBA, says he officially signed with the rockets yesterday)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kostas_Papanikolaou
    It is also reported on ESPN insider that we are putting in $600k towards Papanikolaou's buyout.
