What are the prospects of getting Spanoulis in here next year?

Well from the last report he did mention that Houston rockets really likes him and he wants to be ready for the NBA. He feels that he is not quiet ready for the NBA and wants to contribute right away when he comes so he will spend more time in Europe to develop and also he did get better offers from Europe.

He also mentioned that joining the NBA is his dream. Houston Rockets and CD has shown lot of interest in him.

This was reported in hoopshype.com while back. And it makes sense as well as Rockets has not pushed hard to acquire a proven PG this year which we really needed and will work with current PG's, Sura and James this year.

I am almost sure that Spanoulis will come to Houston next year as we wont see many of our guards in our roster right now.

 

He's got a manageable buyout of $400,000 Euros, next summer. And our backcourt isn't getting any younger. All reports say that he's playing well over there, so another season of improvement should definitely make him roster material. I think there is a very good chance that he'll come over next year.

Very good case scenario: in two years Head and Span combine to provide a strong PG rotation.

Best case scenario: one of these guys breaks out to be a Parker/Bibby/Terry caliber PG.

Either way, I have a good feeling that at least one of these guys can be our "PG of the Future."

 

Yea, I agree. It is nice to know he's out there ready to bring on board. And I also agree that our current roster is pretty solid. We know Barry, Ward and DA are almost sure bets to be gone. Wesley, Mooch and even Sura (if his back doesn't heal) are even likely to be gone.

That would mean our current backcourt is completely gone in the near future.

Here's to the Greek and Head.

 

He's got a contract for the equivalent of like 1.4M USD so we don't really have the money this year. He is now in the top Euro league team in Greece. I hope he comes to training camp if it doesn't conflict with his other teams schedule. I think their season in Euro league doesn't start until next year so this could happen. If he continues to improve we will sign him with part of the MLE next summer.

 

I don't like the fact that the guy has not made an appearance in the states. If he is so anxious to play in the NBA why hasn't he played in a summer league or come to a training camp to see what it feels like to compete on an NBA level. You know some guys just like being the biggest fish in a small pond so maybe Europe fits him and he is most comfortable over there.

I hope not because we could use him next year.
