That "would beat Miami in 7" line had me rolling

[Marchesk]

Olympiacos of last 2 years would beat Miami in a 7 game series.

Depends on whether they had a Boris Diaw kind of stopper.

[DuMa]

oh hey. another euro scrub to replace zaza with

[Rooster]

That's because you are an idiot and you don't know shit about European basketball. Any rotation player in Euroleague can play in the NBA with absolute ease.

But you are just a total troll and manipulate everything here. ANY rotation player of Olympiacos roster in last 2 years would be playing in NBA EASILY.

You are just a super dumb ass and a troll.

Most of them are summer league scrubs

Bo, Hines, Bobby Brown

Even Euroleague MVPs like Joseph Blair and Nate Huffman

Were summer league scrubs

Don't forget that these days basically every NBA player quadruples or quintuples their production when they move to the inferior Euroleague.

I was thinking quad-double equal to YMCA seasons

[Nash]

All the best players from Euroleague would in the NBA right now if it wasn't for the fact that NBA teams are not allowed to spend to buy them out of their contracts. It would exactly be like soccer where all the best players go to the best leagues. Euroleague should be happy about the restrictions NBA teams have.

RIGHT.............

All the best players in Europe are going to take gigantic pay cuts to play in the NBA, "if they just could".................

The NBA should consider changing that restriction.
It would bring more talent to the U.S., guys who can actually produce on their contracts, versus now where teams have to overpay players to get them to leave teams or to meet the salary cap.

Now you're officially insane.

I thought you were just trolling when you said that Spanoulis is more athletic than Rose and Westbrook combined, but this post tops it.

Olympiacos lost to Panathanaikos in a 5 game series(Greek League Finals) about a month ago after winning the Euroleague Championship.

But but but they are missing a healthy Acie Law.

Olympiakos is not the same with an injured Acie Law.

Just like the Heat with Wade.

[pejavelin]

good good keep it going

[AintNoSunshine]

I'm surprised by this signing. I know he'll probably be an end of the bench guy but he'll be 31 by the time and didn't shoot the ball that well this past year.

Anyway, here's a quick rundown on the guy. He's around 6'11" with a strong frame and fairly athletic but mostly plays PF. He has some skills on offense, likes to jack up 3s, and can take it to the rack if a guy bites on his pump fakes. He's a pretty good rebounder and defender and hustles a lot. He was a key rotation player for the 2 time defending Euroleague champions and one of the main guys that lead Macedonia to a 4th place finish in the last Eurobasket.
