Ioannis Bourousis And Vassilis Spanoulis Are Coming

[Euroleague]

The word in Greece now is that both Ioannis Bourousis and Vassilis Spanoulis (who are both going to be free agents at the end of this season) are both being offered big contracts and roles by numerous NBA teams.

The rumor is, from the "anonymous inside sources" that they have decided if they went to the US together, with their families, and played on the same team, or in the same city............that they would have an easier time adjusting, and their families could help each other out. Bourousis and Spanoulis have been very good friends for a long time...........

Supposedly, SEVERAL NBA teams are interested in signing not just one of them, but both of them, in a package deal.

This forum is going to get knocked the **** out.

For the American NBA only fans who do not know who these players are........

Bourousis is a 7-0 center, and he is the best center in Europe.

Spanoulis is a 6-4 point guard, and he is the best player in Europe.

Can you make up at least partially credible things? Or make it less ridiculous? BIG MONEY OFFERS, MANY TEAMS, etc. You reached too much. You could have engendered a discussion, BS as it would be. INSTEAD, what do you do? Try to make it too perfect.

They are saying that 12 NBA teams have already contacted Spanoulis and want him. This at his asking price of 3 years and $25 million.

Like this. That's patently ridiculous. There aren't 12 teams with roster situations that require PG reaches. YOu could have said massive interest in the center, and added Spanoulis to your BS. You reached too far.

Note: Adding more made up facts to your made up bullshit doesn't make it more credible.

I'm waiting for you to say Knicks want him. We do need someone to carry Melo's baggage.

You are a ****ing idiot. The mere fact that you don't believe this gives it credence and legitimacy, because you are always wrong at everything in life.

BTW, you have a 35 year old Euroleague has been that was washed up 3 years ago by Euroleague standards, in your main playing rotation. The Knicks standards are pretty damn low. You have a guy on your team that spent years in Europe and could never make it to the Euroleague level. You have another guy on your team that got cut twice by Euroleague teams for poor play.

I mean they think Chandler is a star and they think Smith is good..........the Knicks have two 38 year old centers and a 40 year old center on their roster.

The Knicks could not win a single game in a 7 game series with Spanoulis' team. Olympiacos would sweep them 4-0 with absolute ease.

They even think a 39 year old PG is one of the "best in the NBA". Bourousis and Spanoulis would have to lower their club standards a lot to play in a joke team like the Knicks.

[CavaliersFTW]

The Cavs are rumored to be one of the teams............
Byron Scott has been rumored to be looking for someone to watch his house on roadtrips, didn't think he'd look into someone from overseas to do it but hey to each their own

Prigioni adjusted to the NBA. He embraced his role, is adjusting his game, and because of it he looks great. Spanoulis wanted to be a star in Houston, acted like a pissy little ****** and moped he didn't get his way, and sucked because of it.

I'm relatively sure Spanoulis is better in Euroleague but he lacks the cajones to play in the NBA. He ran away. Priggy is a tough mofo, you can tell. Mentally strong, smart. You can keep your guys in greece.

Note: No one said Prigioni is one of the best guards in the NBA, he's the third best PG on my team, and our PG's are not the best in the NBA.

Prigioni was washed up 3 years ago by Euroleague standards. He was released off each one of his last 3 Euroleague teams for poor play...........but hey, Knicks fans think he's great.

Imagine if they saw him 5 years ago (when he was actually still a beast).........Knicks fans would call him the Argentine Messiah.

Your team is a joke, your fan base is a joke, and you are a joke. Real Madrid could not wait to get rid of Prigioni and released him as soon as they could. 2 years ago.........but hey, he's playing in a much lower level league now. So he was able to become relevant again.

NBA scouts are all over the Olympiacos games to scout Spanoulis. The Blazers own the draft rights to two Olympiacos players and in particular one of them is young, so they have been covering all their games and watching all their tapes.

They are said to be drooling over the chance at getting Spanoulis, after seeing all his games. The Pistons are said to be trying to make personal arrangements and accommodations just to get him.

It would be a big loss for euroleague. Dont really think I want the to go.

[Lebowsky]

I have a really hard time believing any NBA team would be willing to throw that kind of money to Spanoulis (outstanding Euroleague player, but still 30 yrs. old and already failed once in the NBA) let alone signing both of them. Furthermore, I will give Spanoulis the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think Bourousis' game would translate well to the NBA.

The NBA center position is an absolute joke. Bourousis would beast the hell out of the NBA, just like Pekovic, if not more so.

Ahhhhh so his rumored interest in a greek housesitter makes sense, back in the day he prob had the Greek teammate he stole minutes from acting as his housesitter during games.

Again lie, lies and more lies. Here are Prigioni's Euroleague stats.

http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=CBX

He has always been a starting point guard in Euroleague and every single year put up better stats than he is doing now in the NBA. Only two years ago he was the starting point guard on the Real Madrid Team that made the Euroleague Final Four. Here is the teams stats of that Real Madrid team that made the Final Four.

http://www.euroleague.net/competition/teams/showteamstats?clubcode=MAD&seasoncode=E2010

As you can see just two years Prigioni was the starting point guard, led the team in assists and steals and was 2nd on the team in minutes per game (he actually led the team in mpg during the final four)

So yes Prigioni was washed up three years ago by Euroleague standards yet only two years ago he was the starting point guard on one of the top four Euroleague teams, leading them in points and assists.

So again lies, lies and lies. I have a question for you? Do you even believe your own lies now. I heard that sometime people who just constantly lie all the time start to believe their own lies and can't even distinguish between fact and fiction anymore.

Prigioni was cut by Baskonia, signed by Real, then cut by Real. He was then re-signed by Baskonia, then cut again by Baskonia.

Your team the Knicks is a joke. **** off.

Anonymous inside sources....apparently Blazers and Pistons are in love with him, and some other teams as well.

[gabepizza]

About Bourousis and Spanoulis. I think Spanoulis could make it if he accepts his role as a back-up point guard. He would make a nice back-up for some teams. Bourousis on the other hand would struggle to be even a back-up center. He would probably end up a third stringer and be regulated to D-league. But if he stays with it he could probably survive in the NBA as a 10-12th man for a year or two.

For both of those teams he was their starting point guard. You mean cut after being their starting point guard? Fine. Maybe their didn't want to pay him. But on the Knicks he is a back-up. On Real and Baskonia he was a starter, even last year.

The Knicks are a joke? That's why they have the 2nd best record in the league.

He was cut by both teams. He's washed up and was a has been years ago. Prigioni is one of my all time favorite players ever. I used to get mad and have big arguments with some Argentine and Spanish guys over him, because they said crazy shit like Delfino, Hermann, Sanchez, etc. were better because they played in the NBA.

GET THIS ****ING SHIT STRAIGHT. I am a HUGE Prigioni fan. I have been following his career for years. For years before you even ever ****ing heard his name.

He is easily the 3rd best Argentine player ever, and maybe even the 2nd best one. The guy was an absolute BEAST during his prime. I mean ****ing rich man's Rick Rubio on steroids, and then some.

But, that was YEARS AGO. He had not been a good Euroleague player for the last 3 seasons. NOW **** OFF

You ****ing stats geek whore.

And there is no such thing as "starters" in Euroleague and "bench". That's only in the NBA. EVERY European fan here has told you that, and yet you continue to troll on that, because you are a piece of shit.

[Euroleague]

So Spanoulis is coming to the cavs to be the 3rd string PG and Bourousis is coming to back up Andy Varejao?

Spanoulis won't even negotiate with an NBA team unless he is made a starter. That's one of the prerequisites to even discuss a contract.

[Nash]

So if Euroleague is so much better like you claim, how come these guys want to do everything in order to make it in the NBA? You don't exactly see the biggest stars from NBA go to Euroleague while these guys want prove themselves in a "worse league". If what you say is true, that's like Lebron James and Dwight Howard leaving their teams and their status in America to go prove themselves in Euroleague.

Because the NBA is EASIER and if you were to get offered more money to play in an EASIER league you should do so.

Don't think for one second that Euroleague players have not noticed how many Euroleague scrubs and minor bit part role players have become very good NBA players in recent years.

Don't think Euroleague players fail to notice how guys that suck in Euroleague even put up big numbers in the NBA. They are well aware that the NBA is a softer and easier league, with much worse defense.

The thing is, they CHOOSE to play in Euroleague because the games are MORE INTENSE and MORE COMPETITIVE.

Nenad Krstic even said it, he said the Euroleague is much more intense and competitive than the NBA is.

Of course no American star is going to go to a HARDER league for less money, and where the refs don't help them.

That has been proven time and time again to be a lie. There has never been a case, ever of Euroleague scrubs and bit role players who have become very good players in the NBA. Name one and I will prove that it is a lie.

That being said there is a NBA scrub and role player who has become a very good player in Euroleague. His name is Nenad Krstic and he went from averaging 8 ppg in the NBA to being the nominated 1st team All-Euroleague as the best center in the league.

Okay fine. Not only was he a starter on a final four Euroleague team two years ago, he was also 2nd in mpg of that team. So he was not a good Euroleague player for the last three seasons yet two seasons ago he lead a final four team in assists and rebounds and was 2nd in minutes played. Anymore lies?

So you're saying the Cavs are interested in bring in Spanoulis to start in front of Kyrie Irving?

A couple of nights ago Kyrie scored 41 points on the Knicks. That would've only taken Spanoulis about 15.2 games to score 41 points based on his ppg average in the NBA.

Seems legit. Maybe if Spanoulis is lucky he can carry Irving's Batman mask for him.

True, hate him, but he's clearly got smarts and a winning attitude.

Prigioni was cut by Baskonia, signed by Real, then cut by Real. He was then re-signed by Baskonia, then cut again by Baskonia.
I may be wrong, but I think it didn't happen like that.
He left Baskonia to sign with Madrid, then Madrid released him/ his contract expired, and then signed with Baskonia again, and left them to play for the Knicks.

None.

Nada.

Zero.

[TMT]

Doesn't an NBA team already have the rights of Bourousis?

[LamarOdom]

There isn't even 12 teams with the possibility of signing a player to a 25/3 deal and then you say the center to?

[KG215]

He's probably just making shit up and pulling those numbers out of his ass. Notice, as usual, he hasn't provided any kind of link.

[outbreak]

The only links I found relating to these 2 and NBA interest is a 2010 article about knicks talking to Spanoulis and a 2009 article about 4 teams being interested ni Bourousis. No new stories. No surprise especially at the figures Eurotroll is quoting. I could see both guys getting a go in the NBA, Bousousis looks like he'd fit in as a starter from his high lights, but there's no way span gets big money and there isn't 12 teams in the league that can afford that price or would even take him as a starter over their current poing guards. Which team has a starting point guard that you would replace with a 30 year old who failed hard in his last try out with the league? He could be a useful back up but not at 25 mil

[Pra]

Yes... yes... feeding the troll.

However, this guy is leading euroleague in turnovers... most likely he would get roasted in the NBA by top tier defensive teams.

His stats below, offensively w/e long hair don't care.

http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=JUO

I think Lin would have half of that and players such as Westbrook/Williams/CP3/Parker etc might only have 3-5 playing in Euroleague lol.

He might be doing great things in the Euroleague but a soon to be 31yr old who struggled during his so called "prime" (generally speaking age 25~30 in the NBA wouldn't do shit)

/End Thread 99.99% of this board would agree with me and until we're proven wrong Spanoulis will get all the hate in the world from NBA fans because he did not prove a thing in his NBA stint. If he comes back to the NBA and does really well great for him!

Fellas like Rubio/Pek stepped up and have proven they belong in this league son.

I think Lin would have half of that and players such as Westbrook/Williams/CP3/Parker etc might only have 3-5 playing in Euroleague lol.

He might be doing great things in the Euroleague but a soon to be 31yr old who struggled during his so called "prime" (generally speaking age 25~30 in the NBA wouldn't do shit)

/End Thread 99.99% of this board would agree with me and until we're proven wrong Spanoulis will get all the hate in the world from NBA fans because he did not prove a thing in his NBA stint. If he comes back to the NBA and does really well great for him!

Fellas like Rubio/Pek stepped up and have proven they belong in this league son.

Your mistake there is assuming NBA defense is better then the euroleagues. According to Euroleague's threads the NBA defense is terrible compared to any team in europes. Chris Paul/Rondo/Westbrook would all be 3rd string scrubs apparently.

Both bourousis and spanoulis will be free agents at the end of the season

Spanoulis said that he would be interested in returning to the NBA, if he gets a good contract offer. I dont think this will happen, since he is currently earning 2.5 mil Euro net per year and no team in the NBA is going to offer him this kind of money, while European powerhouses (Real, Barca, CSKA etc.) could easily give him 3-3.5 mil Euro net

Bourousis has attracted the interest of OKC and San Antonio in the past and would definitely love to play under Popovich, but he hasn't made any comments regarding his future

I wouldn't rule out an NBA team giving v-span around 2 mill a year as a back up. 2 years 4.5mill or something. After the success of Prigioni some teams may make an offer at that.

its 2.5 mil NET, which would be equivalent to ~4 mil gross per year

Wait what? Why would they want to come to an inferior league? :confusedshrug:

THIS JUST IN!

Hassan Whiteside and DJ Mbenga both signed to Olympiacos to make the GREATEST FRONTCOURT IN EUROLEAGUE HISTORY:applause: !! They've only played 22 combined minutes and both have broken the all time blocks record for Olympiacos and it is planned they will make a statue in their honor, retire their jerseys, and rename their capital "Mbengaside"

True Euroleague legends :bowdown: :bowdown:

Spanoulis the finalsmvp of the Euroleague averaged godly stats of 2.7ppg on 33% during his time in the NBA, he no longer saw a challenge playing in the NBA so he went back to the Euroleague.

Euroleague why would he want to come back to a league he completely dominated in?
