Vassilis Spanoulis: New York Knicks Future Point Guard

[Euroleague]

According to rumors in Greek press, Vassilis Spanoulis has supposedly agreed to terms with the New York Knicks, and will supposedly join them after the 2012 Olympics.


Vassilis Spanoulis game clips from the 2011-12 season:


29 points (18 in the 4th quarter) and 6 assists in the Euroleague, against the Spanish League/Euroleague club Bilbao Basket:

Euroleague didn't post any link/source.

What a shocker.

If the Knicks were smart they would have drafted Chuck Norris Cole and reigned themselves in on the Cole world.

just like sergio rodriguez?

[AirTupac]

Where would he go? 3rd string? Mike Bibby is definitely starting over Spanoullis's 3 ppg career NBA average.

Soooo hes joining the Knicks after next summer? How can you have a contract with a player 9 months in advance when hes currently under contraxt woth another club

It's bullshit.
How do I know ? Euroleague posted that.

[All Net]

They would be better off just playing Bibby.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Why would he want to go to the second tier league anyway? He's already in the best league in the world.

[niko]

So he's getting vet minimum? Cause we have nothing else to promise.

[spiegel]

Hopefully his shot has improved from his last stint in Houston. He was god awefull with the Rockets. Downright terrible.

[Nick Young]

3 ppg 31% FG 17% 3FG shooting GREEK GOD OF BASKETBALL:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

This scrub would make good Training Camp fodder.

How old VSpan now? If he's still in his 20s I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If over 30, I don't see him making any impact on this league. Still waiting on who I think is the best PG outside of the NBA to come back to the league---JCNavarro.

He is 28 or 29 I think . Navarro is not the best pg outside the Nba because he is not a pg , he is a sg

I would rather take a chance on Vassilis than Mike Bibby. Bibby career is over. Vassilis is younger..

Spanoullis is past his prime. I don't think the Knicks want anything less than 3 ppg on 30% FG.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Ughhhh. It's one thing when you talk about you're annoying rants and fake "rumors," but when you're talking about my team... jeez I freaking hate you.

Navarro is a shooting guard, not a point guard.

Spanoulis isn't past his prime. He gets better every single year. Just like Nash.

Tony Douglas looks like John Stockton compared to this guy.

Hell, Douglas is a pretty decent player. V-Span sucked it up when he was in the NBA a few years ago.

Since when did the Knicks want to tank for a better pick?
