i don't know if spanoulis will be good or be a complete scrub, but it seems if there was ever a time to get him, now was the right time. missing out on mike james ended any real chance at using our full MLE. since we have to dip into our mle to get van, we might as well do it in a year in which we'll be splitting it anyway. now next year if we want someone, we don't have to decide b/t them or keeping spanoulis over in europe another whole year before finding out what he can do. and if it is really only 3 yr/6M, that's a nice, small price to pay for finding out if he's good or not. if he sucks, we haven't lost anything and still have 3+ million to sign someone else this offseason. if he's any good, he's a bargain. now lets just hope it's true.
If no one reads greek, then why are we excited? It could be saying that Spanolis signed an extension to stay in Europe for all we know.
I checked this out, but it's greek to me ! I just hope it says that we have indeed signed him. I think he can give us a dimension that would not be available from anywhere else.
Did you not fumble your way through the Babelfish translation? "the Ro'kets shows decided they deeply put the hand in the pocket in order to him they acquire. "Closed" three-year contract! According to information, offer 6 millions dollars in gkarnt the Panathinaikos, which this moment is found front a enormous dilemma: Succumb in pressures of Ro'kets trying (with three-year guaranteed contract and no with uncertain agreement as most roy'kjs) his chance in the leading championship of world or it remains in the champions Greece, where the ambitions are highest and besides it will have the possibility of claiming also other titles and of learning all the secrets dj'pla in the Ze'ljko Ompra'ntovjts, that him believed from the first moment!"
Doesn't sound like he's signing the deal... Seems like we're only offering. He's considering both. The deal doesn't seem final yet, so people don't get ecstatic so fast... If we miss him we still can give Lucas the same deal. I'm actually favoring Lucas somewhat.
If this is true this guy will be a great addition. The buyout is only 350K should not pose any problems if he accepts.
lotz of people have talked about bringing VSPAN, and now lets wait for the news. If the site is still open for registration, I would not be suprised to see lotz of Greek fans rush in and register.
