The Lakers Are Looking For A Free Agent PG - They Should Sign Theo Papaloukas

[Euroleague]

Since it's being widely reported that the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for a free agent PG, they should sign the best free agent point guard that is available, Theo Papaloukas.

Papaloukas is a big guard and knows how to tun the triangle offense, so he would fit perfectly with the team once they probably eventually have to grovel to Phil Jackson to bring him back.

Papaloukas is a free agent, and is still looking for a team this season. His asking price in Europe is said to be what would be like a $1 million NBA contract, so he would not cost that much for the Lakers.

He has been staying in shape because he has been training and practicing with the Greek club Peristeri the whole season. The Lakers have wanted to sign Papaloukas in the past.

The only issue with Papaloukas is his fear of flying, like Royce White. That is why he didn't ever play in the NBA, because NBA teams would demand him to fly a lot. Back then, he could not deal with that.

But from what I understand, he has gotten the problem under control recently. So he should be able to handle it now.

The Lakers should grab him. I mean if Pablo Prigioni can make the Knicks rotation, a full 3 years after he was considered a has been in Euroleague, then certainly Papaloukas could play for the Lakers. As even last season he was still very effective when he played.

The Lakers should jump on it, because Papaloukas won't wait around very long to sign with a team, once the Euroleague Top 16 starts.

[9erempiree]

"knowing the triangle and eventually having to grovel to Phil" is not a good reason to sign him or a good way to convince the team he should be signed.

[AirTupac]

We don't need a 2 ppg scorer who shoots 26% for his career. Maybe he can start for Panathinaikos

[Euroleague]

"knowing the triangle and eventually having to grovel to Phil" is not a good reason to sign him or a good way to convince the team he should be signed.

He's way better than any other free agent PG that is available. Even at age 35, he's much better than Jannero Pargo and Delonte West.

[kNicKz]

they should sign khalid el amin, since he dominated in euroleague

oh wait :roll:

Yeah, that's some serious "domination" there. Lay off the meth.

And he's not even a free agent you ****ing dumb ass. The funniest thing is that El-Amin is much better than Jannero Pargo, that supposedly the Lakers might get. Which just proves what a fool you are all around.

[AirTupac]

Career 5 ppg on 30% in the Euroleague (Euroleague.net). Meaning that he would probably average decimal points in ppg in the NBA.

[Heavincent]

Who?

They'd probably be better off signing 45 year old Nick Van Exel.

[9erempiree]

He's way better than any other free agent PG that is available. Even at age 35, he's much better than Jannero Pargo and Delonte West.

I mentioned Delonte on another thread and I still standby Delonte as the next PG for the Lakers.

Do it Mitch.

West is a good player, but he's a huge nut case. Papaloukas would be a far better choice. West isn't really a PG either. He's more of a SG.

Just because Greece is bankrupt doesn't mean the lakers have to scout bankrupt. Lakers would be fools to sign a Greek bum with no skills. kobe needs serious players around him not fools.

To be honest, I don't mind Euro players. They are pretty hard nosed players. Nobody thought anything of most Euros but they end up being good and serviceable players in the league.

When Spain can ball with Team USA, that is telling they can play.

Claiming that Papaloukas has no skills, is not a serious player, and could not play with Kobe is probably the single dumbest thing ever said on this forum.

Which just goes to show you how bad the Euroleague is.

As you can see, those are NOT his Euroleague stats. You have Papaloukas confused with Ricky Rubio.

Those WERE Ricky Rubio's Euroleague stats. The hilarious thing is that the guy that actually DID have those stats in Euroleague, is now considered to be an untouchable NBA player.

Theo was the shit, and the one of the best playmakers ever, and always made all his 3s against Zalgiris, while 0% against others. Its not the case here. I dont know how is he right now.

[FatComputerNerd]

Delonte is an extremely underrated PG and can also guard most 2's.

He is one of the better wing defenders in the league actually.

But he can do so much more too, including scoring in a variety of ways.

He was actually one of our most reliable and consistent players during his tenure w/ the Cavs, on both ends of the floor.

[Euroleague]

Theo was the shit, and the one of the best playmakers ever, and always made all his 3s against Zalgiris, while 0% against others. Its not the case here. I dont know how is he right now.

Look at Prigioni, he looks better in the NBA than he did for many years in Euroleague. He looks fast in the NBA, where he was almost getting to slow side in Euroleague.

Look at how Dragic, Jennings, Rubio, Neal, Lawson played in Euroleague and look how they play in the NBA. It's obvious that it's infinitely easier to play as a PG in the NBA than it is in the Euroleague. Because these guys all suddenly become much better almost to an unreal extreme, the second they leave Euroleague and go to the NBA.

I personally thought Papaloukas was washed up, but Prigioni was washed up 3 years ago, by Euroleague standards. Yet, he could walk in right now and take the Lakers starting PG spot with total ease, based on how he is playing with the Knicks.

And even though Prigioni was always one of my favorite players, and even though Papaloukas had certain things about him I didn't like, I have to be honest in the fact that Prigioni was never as good as Papaloukas. Actually, none of those players mentioned was ever as good as Papaloukas.

If Prigioni can make it in the NBA in his current level, which is a complete shell of what he used to be, when he was one of the better Euroleague point guards years ago, then why can't Papaloukas? Especially if you consider that they are very similar players. Both are big point guards, excellent ball handlers, like to pass, like to make plays for others, and both kept themselves in unbelievable physical condition.

No doubt that he's a good player. But he's also a psychopath. The Lakers already have enough of those on their team.

I am not sure you have a firm grasp on what being a psychopath actually means.

In some scenarios, including for a B-Ball player, psychopathy could be (and probably has been) an advantage.

[Timmy D for MVP]

GUYS! I have the perfect solution to the Lakers problem.

You know how everyone is in panic right? Waiting for Steve Nash? They need a point guard who for sure can come in NOW or else everything goes nuclear right? Lets get a player who we have no idea if he'll be able to play in the NBA! Lets ignore the veterans we know what we will get from! We HAVE to get an over seas player even though the track record for them coming over successfully like this is not very good. Brilliant!

[Euroleague]

I'm all about el-amin, loved him at Uconn, but he was buns in the NBA and a top player in Europe

I liked him to. However, he was never "a top player in Europe". Get a freaking clue and stop being a dumb ass.

In European basket, Papaloukas is Magic Johnson, and El-Amin is poor man's Derek Fisher.

You sound like a total imbecile to even compare the two.

"El-Amin signed with Strasbourg (France) in January 2002. He then joined Maccabi Ironi Ramat Gan (Israel) in November 2002.

He joined Besiktas Istanbul of the Turkish league in August 2003. Dominating the league for two seasons, El-Amin was second in scoring (20.9) and third in assists (5.2) in his first season. In 2005, he led the league in assists and averaged 20.4 points a game. He was named MVP of the Turkish League All-Star Game in 2005 and was a member of the World Team at the 2005 FIBA Europe All-Star Game."

Not a chance in hell that you have ever seen Papaloukas play. None of the other point guards available are even remotely in his class. This isn't "some guy from overseas". This is one of the greatest European players of all time. The lack of basic basketball knowledge in this site is truly disturbing.

I'm a big Lakers fan, but no doubt that the Lakers have the dumbest and least knowledgeable about the game fan base of any NBA team.

so being 2nd in scoring and leading the league in assists doesn't constitute someone as a "top player" in a league? What does? I'm slightly curious

Yes, it's much higher level of competition at the PG spot in Euroleague. That's why all the guys that sucked in Euroleague:

Gary Neal
Ricky Rubio
Goran Dragic
Ty Lawson
Brandon Jennings

Suddenly become good players playing against the awful NBA point guards. It's why Pablo Prigioni plays for the Knicks, despite being washed up 3 years ago at Euroleague level.

It's because the NBA has much worse point guards than the Euroleague does. So yeah, you are right, the NBA point guard position is definitely much lower in level than the Euroleague point guard position.

Theres a reason he is a free agent , he isn't that good anymore he's old now .

[9erempiree]

I am having to agree with Euroleague that the PG position is much more sound in Europe than it is in the NBA. A lot of PG's today are combo guards who can score.

The traditional PG is almost extinct in the NBA and a lot of Euro's are great post players, something that is lost in the NBA.

So it comes as no surprise that European leagues would have true PG that the Lakers would need. Lakers don't need another scoring PG, they need traditional PG's. A good example of a traditional PG is Nash and Rondo and Kidd.

I don't worship Ricky Rubio. To be honest I don't give a shit about Ricky Rubio. I just know you blatantly embellish how bad Rubio was in Euroleague to fit your "Euroleague >>>> NBA agenda."

And I did look up Rubio's Euroleague stats. He began his Euroleague career at 16 years old. So you'll have to excuse me if I'm not going to get too upset about a f**ing 16 year old not putting up great numbers in that league. His numbers would've been even worse in the NBA at 16 years old. Actually, that's not true, because he'd never get a chance to even sniff an NBA roster at 16 or 17 years old.

Papaloukas began his career at 24 years old, and played what was considered his athletic prime in the Euroleague, and peaked as with 10 PPG, 5 APG, and 2 SPG. I will give him credit for his ridiculous 2P FG percentages, though.

The highest total in Euroleague is 15. News flash genius, they count assists differently there.

Jose Calderon averaged 2.6 assists in his career high in Euroleague. Obviously, if Calderon's career high was 2.6 assists per game, then averaging 4 over a decade would be outstanding. An enormous number. But you people are so ****ing retarded beyond description that you actually act like 4 assists average for a long career is a low number in Euroleague.

When in fact, that's a huge number.


Jose Calderon's career Euroleague assist average = 2.1

(add the 3 seasons of 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05 together)


Jose Calderon's career best Euroleague assist average = 2.6

Jose Calderon's career NBA assist average = 7.2

Jose Calderon's career best NBA assist average = 8.9 (2 times)

Theo Papaloukas is the career leader in both assists and steals.

Clearly, this thread is full of 10 year olds. Just how ****ing STUPID are you ******s? Do your I.Q.'s even reach into the low 70s? I seriously doubt it.

So yeah, you colossal ****ing morons, 4 assists average for a career in Euroleague is a ****ing HUGE NUMBER. KG215, you are so stupid it is amazing that your brain can even tell your lungs to breathe in air. You can take your "facts" and shove them up your ass, because you are the biggest ****ing idiot ever in this forum.

[Fiba basketball]

Prigioni wasn't good by Euroleague standards 3 years ago. He looks great with the Knicks.
Last year Prigioni was a lot better than Papaloukas . Papaloukas should just retire .

[KG215]

You call "facts" anything that is a bunch of total bullshit. You lie endlessly. You are the same person.
How is what I posted bullshit? It's his exact stats that I got from Euroleague.net. I provided a link and a screnshot. Nothing about that is "bullshit." I didn't create a fake Euroleague.net page or a fake stats screenshot. It's all 100% real.

[KG215]

The European Magic had a career high of 14 assists? :biggums:
That's actually impressive since assists are so much harder to come by in Euroleague, but he averaged a whopping 4 assists for his entire Euroleague career to go along with 7 points. I know assists are harder to get, but I'd think someone with the passing and playmaking skills of Magic Johnson would be able to average 6-8 APG.

:bowdown: :bowdown:

You called him the European Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson was dropping 12+ dimes a game and scoring 18-20 PPG in his prime. He was also grabbing a lot more boards than Papaloukas.

Guess what, genius. Just because a player is the all-time leader in total assists and one of the better playmakers/facilitators, doesn't make him that continent's version of the greatest playmaking/passing PG in EVER.

[niko]

Since it's being widely reported that the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for a free agent PG, they should sign the best free agent point guard that is available, Theo Papaloukas.

Papaloukas is a big guard and knows how to tun the triangle offense, so he would fit perfectly with the team once they probably eventually have to grovel to Phil Jackson to bring him back.

Papaloukas is a free agent, and is still looking for a team this season. His asking price in Europe is said to be what would be like a $1 million NBA contract, so he would not cost that much for the Lakers.

He has been staying in shape because he has been training and practicing with the Greek club Peristeri the whole season. The Lakers have wanted to sign Papaloukas in the past.

The only issue with Papaloukas is his fear of flying, like Royce White. That is why he didn't ever play in the NBA, because NBA teams would demand him to fly a lot. Back then, he could not deal with that.

But from what I understand, he has gotten the problem under control recently. So he should be able to handle it now.

The Lakers should grab him. I mean if Pablo Prigioni can make the Knicks rotation, a full 3 years after he was considered a has been in Euroleague, then certainly Papaloukas could play for the Lakers. As even last season he was still very effective when he played.

The Lakers should jump on it, because Papaloukas won't wait around very long to sign with a team, once the Euroleague Top 16 starts.

Next shot you take at my boy Priggie Smalls and i'm going to smack your inbred ass back to Arkansas.

And you based this on what? That David Blatt always benches any player that does not play grind it out basketball?

Whenever Papaloukas played, he looked better than Prigioni did. He actually looked better with Maccabi than he did the previous 2 years with Olympiacos.

You do realize that every year Blatt benches a couple of players for absolutely no reason? Or do you really think Ohayon is better than Papaloukas?

Yes you would think Rubio could average more than 3 assists in Euroleague, Ty Lawson and Brandon Jennings more than 1-2 assists in Euroleague - but guess what, they did NOT.............................

Magic would have averaged no more than 5 assists in Euroleague for his career, if even that much. Considering the vast majority of his NBA assists to Kareem in the low post would NOT even count in Euroleague......probably more like 4.

Magic's career assist number in NBA would never ever in a million years equate to any big assist number in Euroleague. 2-3 assists in Euroleague = 8-9 in the NBA.

YOU ****ING PIECE OF SHIT.

**** OFF AND BURN IN HELL WHERE YOU BELONG.

[AirTupac]

You would think that the greatest player in the past 10 years could average more than 3 ppg on 30%. Shitnoulis also got embarrassed by Nigeria.

Euroleague is a 32 year old man living in Arkansas who spends his life trolling message boards about European basketball (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242569)and editing wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/173.216.233.111&offset=&limit=500&target=173.216.233.111). :roll:


This is probably the only forum he hasn't been banned from. His total meltdown and 2 month disappearing act when Greece lost to Nigeria was great though. :lol

I've got to find a way to get people to stop associating Euroleague with Arkansas. I'm from Arkansas and I swear we're not all like Euroleague. I'm hoping Euroleague isn't like Euroleague in real life.

By the way, how'd he get exposed as being from Arkansas/America?

It's not really a knock on Arkansas, but more because he tried to claim he lived in Europe and ends up being from a small town in Arkansas. He was apparently banned on some Spurs message board and the admin found out that his IP was from Arkansas and a similar thing happened here and he basically admitted that he lived in the US.

Dude shut the **** up.

This guy Grinder is actually GREEK, he is from GREECE, he speaks Greek, he reads Greek, and he writes in Greek.

He posts on a GREEK BASKETBALL WEBSITE called thrylos fans and uses the same username of Grinder there. He is one of the single biggest ****ing trolls alive. He PRETENDS to be American, and uses multiple different names, on multiple different sites. He uses alter egos on all of them, including at this site.

I can't believe how crazy and stupid this forum is. Looks like some people just can't contain themselves though. I think it's time that this shit got revealed to Jeff. Enough is enough.

A trade of Pau Gasol to the Jazz for Mo Williams and Marvin Williams gives the Lakers another point guard and youth/athleticism at the forwards.

[MightyWhitey]

You people are complete clowns. Papaloukas is considered to be Europe's Magic Johnson you ****ing idiot.

You must be a greek. I've yet to see a half decent greek player ever in the history of basketball. Stick to gyros and diners and leave Basketball and Glory to people worthy of such distinctions.

[KG215]

A trade of Pau Gasol to the Jazz for Mo Williams and Marvin Williams gives the Lakers another point guard and youth/athleticism at the forwards.
And that also gives them five frontcourt players they have to try and find minutes for and Earl Watson and Jamal Tinsley as their PGs. Stupid trade.
