Didn't the Spurs cut back on scouts earlier this year as a way to reduce costs?
You might be thinking about the Grizzlies.Quote:

This is the scout that discovered Spanoulis and is a long time friend of his! He has been advising teams to take him since Spanoulis was 17 years old!
This will be for sure now that he will have Spanoulis and Popovich talk to each other.
Does he know Bourousis? I highly doubt Spanoulis will play for the Spurs my friend. Seems like a long shot. The Spurs had him and he asked to go back to Greece. I am sure there are no hard feelings, but if he wanted to play in the NBA, with the Spurs, he would have stayed.
at first I thought this was good news
then KBP posted :bang
Claudio Crippa = drives circles around Dennis Lindsey in a Maserati.
Fuck that Ckrab! B's up C's down :P
Soo wooooooo!!!!:downspin:
High much?Quote:
