[Chronic]Spanoulis says he won't return to Rockets

Damn - he IS an American! Capitalist PIG! :

 

V-span is leaving.
So......will his salary still occupy our salary cap?
If not, is that mean our cap space can be released by his salary amount?

 

What a giant p***y.

 

my guess is his salary would still count against salary cap. Are releasing and buyout the same?

 

a coward, a p***y, a loser, that's vspan. I used to support him, but he really disappointed the fans.

 

and I would use the same words to Yi. I used to like him as well, but not any more.

 

who is this guy again? oh thats right, the loser at the end of the bench who cried all year long and keeps trying to cry his way home...

the guy who people defended and threw Van Gundy under the bus for...
he must have learned from his mentor, Mr. Bonzi wells.

what a disgusting part of Houston Rockets History...

and it had zero to do with the coach

no heart of a champion here...send the little b**** back home, like a summer camper who wets his bed and cant make it through the night- put his ass on the next bus to se his mommy

 

Is it too late to get JVG back?

 

Actually, Yi's case is different than Vspan. Yi is more for business reason and Vspan is more of mentality and lack of confidence..

 

I'm concerned that the management is desperate to package VSpan along with some other guys in order to get just anyone else. There are guys with bad contracts who are performing poorly who can't help us out.
If they can't get anything for him, which is a strong likelihood because of his attitude and poor record it's probably better to just release him IMO.

 

Not to mention....it's the friggin Bucks, the 2nd worst city to be in besides the j*zz. I can't even spell Milwaukee! Had to spellcheck that shiet.

 

A. The family bond and adjustment statement is complete bullshyt. It's a cop out that completely removes any dignity that v-Sham may have ever had. I mean, this is about his ego being crushed and his b**** like vindictiveness to not let it go and for the punk a$$ b**** to get even at all cost (with the disguise of hiding behind his mama's apron)
B. v-Sham is an egocentric drama queen who couldn't handle the fact that his turnovers and out of control style forced JVG to rightly keep him on the bench until he learned to coordinate the offense more smoothly. He's woman scorned who can't ever forget about it....
C. All that matters is the team get salary cap relief for his 1.8 million right away if they release him as a retired player or sue his punk a$$. Who cares if he plays for Greece. No Rocket fan should ever even bat an eye at what he does if he plays for Greece and completely forget this egocentric punk. If his rights can be packaged in a deal with Sura, JL3, Snyder, and a second round pick two years for now for Artest or less players for Jamal McGloire and Brian Skinner in seperate deals, then this egotistical, lying, punk a$$ cop out will be forgotten forever by any Rocket fan who has pride in the tradition of the Houston Rockets over the years.
D. It's not JVG's fault. JVG did him a favor by not buying into his Iternational hype of the fleeting success he had against the US team, that he couldn't display or even earn the minutes in an extended period of time in the NBA. Novak, Snyder or JL3 aren't whining like this b**** ass mamas' boy. To hell with this punk: pimp him for all we can get and give him a swift kick in the ass on his way out.
E. After "playin'" him like he's tryin' to play us let's move on and never discuss him. It's all about his ego....Go back home and never come back b****. v-Sham is a egotistical COWARD to hide behind such a bullshyt copout.....

Loser....

 

Even if that was the case, Span's agent messed it up....The quotes and discussions released by him turned every single Rockets fan against him so it's almost impossible for him to get back....

The only thing I'm curious about is that Greek Press only has the story based on the original Chron story....The press release/agent/span comments were never made to a the greek press...

I find this weird

 

Dude, there is no such thing as "agreements of playing time" - coaches play who can help them win and that's it, unless they are tanking.

Let go of the fantasy that was Spanoulis for the Rockets. it's over.

 

Time for Spanoulis fans to EAT CROW!

 

Kill Bill


...that little monicker takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it.


I knew I hated this guy for a reason. At first I thought it was because of his myopic fans along with the fact that he was a little whiney b**** who was unwilling to earn what he wanted. This country was founded on sweat, blood, hard work and people knowing what they wanted and going out and taking it. I can't respect a little wimp who complains and expects a handout. What kind of person complains when the coach demands they become a better shooter... "that isn't my game". New flash, you suck at shooting so do something about it! Nobody has to guard you past the free throw line but that is old news and water under the bridge so let us deal with the present.

I think of all of the international stars who came over here before him and were benched...some for years but they worked harder and became better players. Some like Drazen Petrovic even became stars here all over again. Thanks V-Spanky for showing all of your true colors. You did yourself a great disservice and you should be embarrassed. Shame on you. I heard you were a hard nosed player, a warrior, a guy who knew the meaning of and personified hard work and determination but now I see that on top of all of your other flaws, at your very core, all you are is a little momma's boy...a titty baby. I hope your mother is holding you against her bossom right now...caressing you and stroking the back of your head and your hairy neck while she nurses you you worthless dog. Good boy, go ahead and suckle. She has everything you need right there.

My favorite part of the article.

wow...just wow

 

I asked some mods at realgm about this deal. This isn't the same as the Macijauskus deal was in New Orleans.

1. The Hornets didn't want him because Byron Scott apparently views Euro rookies like Van Gundy does. Macijauskus wanted to go back to Europe because Scott was still coaching the Hornets, so therefore he could sign with another FIBA team but his salary would STILL count against the Hornets cap.


2. The big difference with Spanoulis is that the Rockets GM and coach want to keep him, but he wants out without a mutual agreement. This means that he is in breach of contract and will NOT count against the Rockets cap and the Rockets will NOT have to pay him.

3. It also means that he can be barred from ever signing with a FIBA team again because the Rockets will permanently retain his rights. This also means that the Rockets face a dilemma.

On the one hand, they can let Spanoulis go and set a precedent that any current or future foreign player they acquire can just leave whenever they want, for example Yao's people might see this as leverage. Eliyahu, Newley or any foreign prospect might simply say to hell with the Rockets. This would possibly remove all foreign talent pools from the Rockets draft pool.

But on the other hand, if they force the issue and ban Spanoulis from FIBA then they face the prospect of no foreign free agent player or draft pick ever signing with them. This includes foreign players already in the NBA that are free agents and thinking about signing with Houston that might think, "What if I had to leave and go back home, would they ban me from FIBA even if I didn't get paid and didn't count against the cap?"

It is not at all related to other examples like say Macijauskus where it is a mutual move. This situation has complications and is important for the Rockets, yet so many fans here don't seem to even consider this.

 

"He is looking for an escape. He calls me every day. His mother calls me crying, saying, 'Get my son back.' This is serious. "

I got two words for you, "meow, meow"

 

Hmmmmmmm,

This could get very interesting.
