Verified!!! Verified!!! OK, I've been VERY skeptical about cyberx up to this point, EVEN after many well respected posters have vouched for him, but for whatever reason this trivialgrin thread has changed my view of him! I'm still not a cyberx fan, not because of the info, but mainly because he's a Laker fan! Regardless, I still appreciate what he does! I'm usually on the opposite side of whatever you say, BUT you being a Rockets lifer (I'm one as well) makes you more than ok in my book! Keep stirring the pot breh! ....... ....... .......
I also did this, with the help of VC! (not vince carter, virtual currency). Apparently the game works just like real life where if you throw a bunch of money at somebody they'll do what you want!
http://sferasports.gr/en/article/191/papanikolaou-stays-with-rockets Dont believe Rosas, believe CyberX.
but cyber was wrong it hadn't been picked up until today there was no way the rockets wouldn't have anyway since the contract is fully unguaranteed and can't be traded untiol the option was picked up
Rockets need Kpap's non-guaranteed salary as filler in any key trades. I guess this also means the Rockets will be staying OVER the cap and not using cap space.
The Houston Rockets are going to exercise the team option on Kostas Papanikolaou contract, however until the 5h of October this doesn’t guarantee anything to the Greek forward. As Eurohoops can confirm that Houston is going to use the extension option for Papanikolaou, but his future remains a questionmark. His 4,6 m. $ contract for the 2015-16 season becames quaranteed after the 5th of October. Until then, the team can waive him without paying him anything. http://www.eurohoops.net/2015/06/featured/102362
Please clarify this for me. Does picking up the option make it a guaranteed contract? If yes, that will make it harder to trade him. Ok, I just read the post above me that clarifies everything.

Seems like Stein has deliberately misspelled his name. A professional sports journalist should get it right.

I read that in another thread. I don't think he would have misspelled his name if he was a Mav. Master Cuban would get mad at him.
