    You mean a high BBIQ guy with average athleticism, above average defense, great hustle, and a fairly good 3 point shot?

    Ya. Sounds about right.

    Papanikolaou might be a better finisher around the rim, though.

    I mentioned this in a thread when we first acquired his rights from Portland — that my brother in law has been telling me about this kid for a while now. He watches a lot of Greek/Euro BBL and he claims Kostas has a solid game that is pretty well rounded. The Ryan Bowen comparisons seem a bit off in that regard. I like the Shane comparisons because although their games may different, they both seem like good "utility guys" who can impact a game now and then.

    Let's see who's better at haggling. That price tag is inching up by 500K everytime.

    Dorsey's already here; make the Greek kid by giving him a good contract.

    I specifically said "seems", I did not post it as news and I did not start a thread with the topic. ESPN insider did say at 10am that we are putting in the $600k.
    Gimmie a break.

    Why not quote the insider stuff then? They asked you for a link and you get it from wiki. Give me a second to change wiki to what I want it to say, then relink it.

    Morey, stop nickel and diming. Pay the man. In all likelihood, he is already losing money (short term) by coming over.

    Morey was likely simply trying to preserve the full MLE to be able to lure another impact free agent and sign him with the BAE.

    I was trying to make an inside joke/reference hoping someone would conjure the Tracy McGrady of Greece who used to play for the Rockets.

    Would be pretty funny though if I put it on his Wikipedia page though.

    Translation is funny.

    Interesting that it says he doesn't want to be a man of second row.

    I don't know any franchise players that come off the second row. I don't know any all-stars, that come off the second row.
