Vassilis Spanoulis Said To Have NBA Offers (One To Be A Starter)

I am hearing very big rumors in Greece that two NBA teams, Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers want Vassilis Spanoulis.

From what I hear the Pacers want him to be a rotation player, with a chance to take over as the starter at point guard, while the 76ers are offering him the starting position, with a guarantee that he starts the whole season.

The Pacers are offering more money though, but with a big salary cut from what he is being offered by big European clubs. However, it is still a good salary.

The 76ers are offering less money, but hoping he takes the offer, because he would be guaranteed to be the team's starting point guard.

If Spanoulis wants to come back to the NBA he can this next season. None of this can happen until July 11th, when he officially becomes a free agent.

But the word is big that after the Euroleague Final Four, he was given the offers by both NBA teams, and that he is still thinking about it.

But since he has 3 young kids, and a newborn baby, it might not be possible.

This is all I could find: [url]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=vassilis+spanoulis&oq=vassilis+spanoulis&gs_l=news-cc.3...573.1034.0.1112.6.3.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1ac.1[/url].


Unless one of those stories translates to something anywhere near what you posted, it looks like you are (as usual) completely full of horse shit.

What could span bring to a team?

While Spanoulis is an intelligent player no doubt, he is unathletic and lacks the unparalleled semi-insane artistry and creativity that come from his more swarthy peers. Overall, a poor man's Ricky Rubio that could be used on the bench to boost morale by being the team whipping boy ie "Hey, Vasaline! If you try very hard every day, maybe you will be able to dunk it one day! Haha yeah right! Vasaline is such a loser." In this way, Spanoulis will boost the other player's confidence by sucking. Another way he could be utilized is by being the team's enforcer on the bench. Whenever anybody on the opposing team looks over to the bench to see his hideous, deranged face, they will instantly be intimidated, losing concentration and becoming more passive in hopes that they do not not attract the attention of this dementedly perverted Greek (let's face it, the Greeks are just a dirty, dirty people) so as to elude Spanoulis drugging them and then raping their unconscious bodies. This sort of strategy would be highly effective against the Heat, who are mentally weak, so the Pacers should definitely pursue this guy. Plus, Greeks are stupid, so the Pacers could probably get him to play for minimum wage or some shit.

If this was actually being rumored, it would be on the net somewhere. As usual, it isn't because as usual, you are entirely full of shit and just trolling the NBA forum for your boyfriend Vagisil Spoonerific.

Okay, I don't know about your "sources", but theoretically this is now possible for the Sixers. They just traded Jrue, but drafted Michael Carter Williams, a guard with a high upside. The Sixers have done very well with their moves and I am very happy because they will tank for the 2013-2014 season and get ready to harvest the 2014 draft with lots to choose from.

If Span pans out in the NBA, then better, if he doesn't, not so bad either.

embarrassing. :facepalm

[B]NBA[/B]

During the last months at least two NBA teams were impressed by what Spanoulis has achieved in Europe, and are planning to approach him officially. After his bad experience in Houston, Spanoulis is not eager to return to the States, but he already had some talks about this possibility, so you can never say never. However, one of those teams recently changed general managers, so it’s unknown at this point if the possible interest still exists, while the other one can make him in theory a starter, but can’t give him the money he will be getting in Europe.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's an English link, and they are trying to be EXTREMELY careful in what they say, as to not upset the owners of Olympiacos that are trying to sign Spanoulis and are in the negotiating stage with him.

So they don't want to piss off Olympiacos in what they say. Because it could hurt their negotiations with him, and you can't get a big source like that mad at you.

But, this is definitely something that is being said in Greece.........that 3-4 NBA teams are going to be coming after him extremely aggressively if he does not sign with a European team in the next couple of weeks.

He got the offers already verbally after the Euroleague Final Four.

Who the hell is Nikos Varlas?

Even if it is true (which it's not, Euroleague's making shit up as usual), who cares? This dude averaged 3/1 in the NBA. I might as well make a thread about possible landing spots for Anthony Tolliver.

Um... excuse you, Anthony Tolliver put up an average 12/7 his 2nd NBA season. That's pretty much more than VSpan's career totals.

He is one of the biggest sports journalists in Europe.

Where's the proof that he's already received offers? Something like that would already be out in the American press. That link solidifies absolutely nothing you posted in your OP. Its a random guy spewing some sourceless crap. Where are you getting Pacers and Sixers from? Where are you getting dollar amounts from? Where are you getting information on who wants him to start where? You offer "rumors" regarding tons of specifics and back up absolutely none of them. Again, standard for you.

That's some high praise.

But, not to sound lame and unoriginal, but I might have to say Hugh as Jean Valjean. He was PERFECT.

But really I think I liked Ed Redmayne as Marius.

GOAT. He carried that scrub Denver team ya know.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly or Lotion?

I call BS. Why would he accept less money and a reduced role? Doesn't make any sense it's not like he can come over for less money, prove himself and then get a big contract (a'la Thiago Splitter), he's already 30. It does make sense that the Pacers and 76ers would want him, but there's no reason for him to want to play for them.

Prime shaq or shot spanoulis?

How is being a starting point guard a "reduced role"?

If you ever go to London, definitely check out the Les Mis theatre production there, the singing blows the movie version away 10 times out of 10. Tickets are something like 20 pounds to 70 pounds (thats $30 upwards). There was a free concert of all the West End plays last week, and the guy who plays Jean Valjean was incredible.


Hey, this is a euro thread right, french revolutionaries should fit right in

How ironic if we both end up rooting for billy? If he does go to my Sixers, I will have to pull for VSpan, and hope he is everything Euroleague says he is.

Go Billy! :roll:
