Greek Press: Big Sofo MIGHT Sign With L.A. Clippers This Season

[Euroleague]

I just saw on Greek national TV that Sofoklis Schortsanitis might sign with the L.A. Clippers soon. They said he is discussing buying out his contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv and that if this happens he might sign with the L.A. Clippers. Apparently, he is not happy with his playing time in Maccabi Tel Aviv and the L.A. Clippers supposedly want another center..............

THIS IS NOT ME SAYING THIS WILL HAPPEN. THEY WERE JUST SAYING IT MIGHT HAPPEN AND HE NEEDS TO REACH A BUYOUT BEFORE IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE - SO DON'T SAY I SAID THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I DID NOT.

I am just reporting that it was mentioned as a possibility.

[Grinder]

They air Greek national television in Arkansas?

Interesting.

What summer league were you watching? The only thing he rejected was life support, after it was looking like he was about to pass out running up and down the court.

Greek national TV is broadcast all over the world numb nuts. Sofo is quite famous in Greece. He has been a part of one of the big Greek clubs (Olympiacos) and the Greek national team, and he also made a lot of McDonald's commercials in Greece. He has been the spokesman for McDonald's there.

So yeah, he's pretty damn famous there, genius.

[Euroleague]

Davis is 290. Sofo is 345. Not much comparison.

Right. Tractor Taylor, who could not pass a Euroleague tryout, despite trying numerous times, with numerous teams, is better than the guy that was voted first team center of the Euroleague..........

LOL at OP showing us two Youtube clips that are 12 sec each claiming Sofo was "rejecting everything in summer league." I watched every Clipper summer league game and Sofo fouled out of most of them dude is trash.

Looks like they're playing some physical basketball.

Still this dude has a nice style but he isn't tall enough or fast enough or has the right conditioning to be effective in the NBA.

Oh wow. 3 blocks on 3 scrubs. I am legitimately surprised.

His real specialty was his incredible 2.2 fouls per game in only 13 minutes per game, though. But I think it's because he needed the other 35 minutes of the game to catch his breath.

WTF is wrong with you?

The NBA summer league is the biggest damn joke in the entire sports world. Are you actually trying to imply that it is an actual competition?

You have to be freaking kidding me.

Let's see - Euroleague big men - Pekovic in all Euroleague team, in NBA, Splitter in all Euroleague team, in NBA, Lorbek in all Euroleague team, will join Spurs next year, Bourousis in all Euroleague team, offered contracts by numerous NBA teams.............

Schortsanitis in all Euroleague team and you are trying to pretend that he can't play in the freaking NBA? So Pekovic and Splitter were voted all Euroleague first team center and can play in the NBA, but Sofo who also was voted best center can't?

GTFO with your ridiculous NBA only fans BS

You must be the dumbest sports fans on the planet Earth to actually think NBA summer league counts or means anything. It's as meaningless as a high school pick up game.

The guy dominated Howard and Bosh, and Yao Ming in the World Cup and you are basing his ability on SUMMER LEAGUE................

LOL. I'm asking, if he is as good as you say he is, and he has played in euro leage and played in summer league (Not saying summer league is some great competition) why hasn't he been offered a contract? WHY?

Why does he get invited but never plays in the NBA? I AM NOT SAYING HE ISN'T CAPABLE at this point (Nor did I ever say he couldn't. Actually, when I've seen him play, ive BEEN pulling for this guy to get a contract and ball. I love his style of play. It something you don't see everyday). I'm simply asking why isn't he in the NBA or even received the opportunity?

He has been offered contracts MANY times by NBA teams genius. The Clippers own his rights and won't trade him. He's had something like 25 NBA teams offer him contracts.

Why the hell didn't Scola play in the NBA for so long? Gee, maybe because the Spurs would not sign him and would not trade his rights. Why the hell did Sabonis not play in the NBA?

Get a clue. You can't sign a contract if the team that holds your draft rights refuses to trade you.

Oh really? Got damn. I was asking.

So he was drafted in 2003. its 2012. How long do the clippers have his rights?

Last I read, it said that the clippers were


"unimpressed and didnt offer him a contract"

:roll: :roll: :roll: Just stop....:oldlol:

25 NBA teams offered him a contract after he abused Yao, Bosh and Howard at the World Cup. You must be about 12 years old.

That's bull shit. The Clippers owner stood up him and his agent at a lunch meeting and they left and went back to Greece.

He was pissed off so he refused to play with them. Any other report is pure bull shit.

Why dont teams trade for him?

for a 26 year old guy who is apparently the best Center in EuroLeague?

Why don't the clippers ask for someone like monta ellis? and give GS a league best center?

Why don't the clippers get something for this guy? IF 25 teams offered him a contract, (Which means 4 teams didnt, possibly, the magic, lakers, spurs and whoever has a decent center) that means he is ON demand. Why dont the clippers cash out?

Teams can't trade for him. The Clippers own his rights. You can't trade for him unless they are willing to release his rights.

How is this hard to grasp? Andersen waited 8 years for the Hawks to trade his rights and he begged and BEGGED every year for them to trade him and they REFUSED.

His rights were not traded until after him and his agent SUED the Hawks and FORCED them to do so.

Damn, you guys are some novice NBA fans.

BTW, it's called the Euroleague. The "EuroLeague" is a competition for women.

So he isnt The best center in Europe. Who is then?

I mean for this guy to dominate the NBA's best bigmen. He must be a beast.

No he is NOT the best center in Europe.

Yes, he dominated Howard and Bosh at the World Cup. He also threw down some of the most vicious dunks in history on Yao at the World Cup.

He pretty much owned Tim Duncan in an NBA game.

The Clippers refuse to trade his rights. How many times does this have to be explained?

The Hawks refused to trade David Andersen's rights for 8 years. He and his agent had to SUE them to get a trade.

The Spurs refused to trade Luis Scola's rights for 5 years. He did not get traded until he threw a gigantic hissy fit and crapped all over the Spurs in US, Spanish, and Argentine media.

NBA teams do this to players in Europe. They refuse to trade them or sign them and hold them hostage forever. It's standard NBA operating procedure and anyone that has followed the NBA for even 2-3 years would know this.

Which makes it seem like you are a bunch of little kids to not know any of this.

So why the hell didn't the Spurs trade Scola or the Hawks trade Andersen? Huh? Why the hell did they have to be FORCED and threatened and even SUED to do so?

You are close to earning an ignore.

The basketball knowledge in this forum is incredibly low. ray Allen is obviously a much better scorer and shot maker, as in making a basket.

But in terms of pure shooting, Novak is untouchable. Novak is absolutely ridiculous as a pure shooter. Anyone saying otherwise is a moron when it comes to basketball.

Novak is like the only guy i have ever seen that could sit on the bench for 50 games, come in for 1 play at the end of the game, and hit a 30 footer just like that - like it was nothing at all.

The guy is unreal in terms of pure shooting.

I've seen some crazy shooters like Drazen, Reggie, etc. but Novak is just one of a kind in terms of pure shooting ability. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Maybe the ONLY guy I can think of that compares to him in shooting is Leo Gutierrez. You probably don't know who that is. He is a Argentine national team player. I don't know if you can find him in youtube or not. But he's about the only one that comes to mind that I would compare to Novak shooting-wise.

Just ignore most of the morons here.

man, that's what I think too. i've never seen a steve novak before. he is just a machine. unbelievably consistent shot. I made that thread about him being the best shooter in the league, and I got crap from people who have literally never seen him play. i think if you have seen him, you know that he is flat-out on another level than pretty much any shooter in the NBA and definitely on another level than Ray Allen (and obviously Steve Nash).

the garden loves him. everyone stands up when he takes a three because they know there's like a 50% chance it'll go in. plus I think he's even better at taking 30 footers than taking them in the corners. he is great. there have been so many times during the "linning" streak where novak has come in and scored like 12 points off of 4 shots and saved our quarter.

[ErhnamDjinn]

Guys why respond to garbage by euroleague do the smart thing and put him on the ignore list works better that way

[Jon_Koncak]

He could provide some instant offense from the bench for the Clippers.It's very hard to guard him without sending double teams,the guy is HUGE.On the other hand he 's not a good rebounder,his defense is suspect and is injury prone.

Yep. He's the only guy that I actually am surprised when he misses.........

[Euroleague]

Sofo isnt that slow , he is fast as Pekovic but he cant play more that 20-25 mpg because of his conditioning .

FYI, to NBA fans every single Euroleague player is "slow". These guys are xenophobic retards.

[LAClipsFan33]

I've seen him play. Slow as hell and can't jump. He needs to lose more weight

Pekovic is also slow, but with more energy and skill

Pekovic is also slow, but with more energy and skill

He outran Bosh and Howard all game long during the world cup. ran them ragged up and down the court, and Howard was not even near being able to run with him. He just blew past him and Bosh and down the court was lapping them with ease.

He weighs only about 5 pounds more now than he did then.

You have never seen him play.

[Heavincent]

lol the only thing this scrub would do on the Clippers is sit on the end of the bench and get Gatorade for Blake Griffin :oldlol:

[BGriffin's Dad]

no thanks, i'd rather bring up a D-leaguer than sign some eurotrash reject :lol

[mattvNJ]

can i see proof of 25+ teams offering him a contract, him "dominating" bosh and howard, and also can you do it without calling me a 10 year old, liar, troll, or moron, thank you, you inbred ****!

[Fiasco]

You want Euroleague to give you proof? Might as well ask the Sun to stop shining, you'd have better luck with that.

[Droid101]

Okay you troll. Here is a link showing what he looks like against NBA talent.

Olympiacos Versus the Cavs in a preseason game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCzUPWqM2sk -- Notice he's slower than Shaq. Slower than Shaq. Read that again. And this was three years ago.

Whatever you think he did in 2006 against a third year Chris Bosh and a second year Dwight Howard is completely irrelevant.

poor man's tractor traylor

Wish he could help but he can't.

Too fat, too foul prone.

[swi7ch]

[The Big Skinny]

Realistically he has a decent post game, can use both hands and is aggressive on the low block. But the fact that he is 6'10 (6'8.5 w/ shoes) 345 is not sustainable in the NBA. Especially in a shortened season. The guy needs to REALISTICALLY get to 280-300 to even get a look from an NBA team. Maybe in the mold of a thicker Dejuan Blair.

[HurricaneKid]

He has been offered contracts MANY times by NBA teams genius. The Clippers own his rights and won't trade him. He's had something like 25 NBA teams offer him contracts.


So 25 teams are guilty of tampering? If the Clips have his rights how could 25 other teams offer him contracts?

He had 4 blocks in the entirety of summer league. The whole thing.

[DGARAS]

this idiot lakas fan yo still posts here? how many alt accounts have you had over the years?

I seen his fat sorryass play much more recently in Summer League. Give up. He sucks

[Real Men Wear Green]

[ImmortalNemesis]

You know you're a fat f*ck when Shaq out runs you up and down the court. He looked slow, no vertical, fat. Not baby shaq fat or Blair fat. He looked fat fat.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Davis is 290. Sofo is 345. Not much comparison.
Yeah, he makes Baby look svelte.

Just last year the whole forum was swearing that Pekovic was a scrub Euro who could not play in the NBA, was nothing but a bench scrub, and would be out of the league by now.

Realistically, this forum is full of retards and knows nothing about basketball. The NBA center position is a freaking joke. Euroleague centers are much better than NBA centers.

Realistically, the NBA is a downgrade in competition for him, just like it is for Pekovic. They are used to seeing much better players in Euroleague than what the NBA center position has.

Box Score Against Tim Duncan: (and yes, Sofo played Duncan head to head)

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=291009024

Looks like Sofo had no problem with Duncan AT ALL. Duncan from 3 YEARS AGO, not the current age one.


Yeah, he sure looks "slow" when he was all over Howard and Bosh and owning the hell out of them, as evidenced in the video below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f_x9obHeOg


Sofo threw Shaq to the floor like he was a little rag doll (video) - >

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dFoC3lPiDY

Yeah sure, no NBA teams can use an enforcer that throws Shaq around like a little kid...............


BOX SCORE against Howard and Bosh:

Sofo had his way with those "NBA superstars"...Greece beat Team USA.

Sofo equaled Yao's offensive production in HALF the minutes. Greece beat China.

\facepalm

he scored 16pts on poor shooting and got 2 boards on duncan. That is hardly dominating is it? And his team lost?
Alot of the posts here are just trying to mess with Euroleague but the fact is the guy may have shown some skills at times but with his conditioning no nba team is going to want him as a proper rotation player for a full season. And saying NBA is a step down for him is insanely ridiculous, yes there is some good players in the euroleague (and i'm sure some good quality centres who actually know how to post up and have solid footwork) but at the end of the day your not playing the athletic freaks that are in the NBA.

[Euroleague]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Pekovic is playing much better in the NBA than he did in the Euroleague, which is the norm these days.

Across the board, on average, the NBA players had worse stats in the Euroleague. How horrible and awful it must be for you, especially after all the trash you talked, that you were wrong.

You are probably horrified of the thread coming that lists how NBA players ended up with WORSE stats in the Euroleague this year.

Howard is the one that got abused by both Sofo and Pekovic.

[mattvNJ]

so let me get this straight, a fat guy had a solid game against a young ass bosh and howard 3 years ago... and the NBA is a down grade? He played duncan and did not "dominate". you make up so much, at least u had links this time kinda! but your point and opinion are so biased and agenda driven its embarrassing, go milk your cows and plow your cousins man. Your using up all the dial up.

edit: and its impossible for 25 teams to of offered him contracts, especially if his rights were already held. Your quite the bullshitter.

Marc Gasol hasn't even outplayed him all the times they played each other. You probably think your team's center is good. You are calling Sofo a scrub, and your "good center" can't even out play him.

You are a BIASED TROLL.

And the age excuse is wonderful.......considering Sofo was all of 20 YEARS OLD at the time.

i think marc is a solid center for my team, works well with them. Clearly sofo isn't cut out for the nba or else he'd be starting some where "dominating" our inferior centers:rolleyes: . Ive watched some of sofo's games, so your usual argument of you've never watched a euroleague game holds no water. Nothing I've stated or said makes me bias what so ever, i do appreciate some euro players, so get that shit outta here and go back to your hole.

False.

Anthony Parker is an average to below average role player in the NBA. Two time MVP in Euroleague.

Arvydas Sabonis was an over-the-hill stiff after his stint in Portland. He went back to Europe and his shooting percentage jumped up 10 points and he led his team to a championship.

Luis Scola shot 10-15 percent better in Europe than he does in the NBA.

So much for all that "great Euroleague defense."

NBA players went to the Euroleague during the lockout, and the stats are IN. They averaged WORSE stats in the Euroleague than they do in the NBA.

You are an owned, because you GUARANTEED the opposite would be true.

You also make up shooting percentage numbers. You continue to use 2 POINT field goal percentage as OVERALL field goal percentage.

Which means you are a troll and a liar.

Is being paid like a superstar and posting a Wilt like stats.:bowdown:

Farmar and Vujacic are the leading scorers of their team.

There are Lakers garbages they could not wait to get rid off.

We got NBA role players who are all playing leading roles in their team.

Navarro, Kirilenko, Batum, Weems, Krstic etc

we even got scrubs like VSpan leading a Euroleague team

then there are NBA rejects like Dorsey, Andersen getting recycled.

Even a role player from Michigan State is litting everyone.

we can go down to summer league scrubs like Domercant, McCalleb, Eidson and Mallet makng noises

the funniest fact is there are more American

named in all Euroleague team

more than any nation in Europe

and these are mainly scrubs and rejects.

[Droid101]

Once again, you lie and disguise your "stats."

He averaged 16 ppg, 7 rpg on 52% shooting in 32 minutes per game in the 06-07 season (five years ago, during his prime years).

Now, this year, he's averaging 15 ppg and 6.4 rpg in 23 minutes per game (nine less!) shooting 61%!!!!!!

So, back when he was in his prime, he was doing worse in the NBA than he's doing right now in Euroleague, as an over the hill stiff.

Once again, you are shut down. SIT DOWN SON
