How much is Pana offering Artest?
Reports is Panathinaikos offer is much bigger than any from NBA. We see what happen but this could be very dangerous thing. In Greece if player try such thing as he do before in NBA with fans then there will be player killed on court.
How much is Pana offering Artest?
This just in...PANA has offered outrageous contract offers to every single player in the NBA......They are going to field a roster of over 300 players.....Their goal is to accrue the most immaculate depth in the history of organized basketball....
i think the spurs will be stupid not to try and get this guy. we would by far be the best defensive team.
i think if pop has a meeting with artest its over. he is comin to SA. why wouldnt he???
his strenths match ours. its serisously a perfect match for both teams.
and even if he does go crazy...ill eat up only a MLE contract..its worth the risk.
if i had a choice between JR and ARTEST.. ARTEST no question
Report say €26,000,000 after tax (about $41 million in the dollars after tax) for 3 years in after tax salary. Supposed this is equals NBA gross contract for $73,000,000 gross before the tax us dollar from NBA team Kings.
Is say Kings have been give copy of offer by Artest agent and ask to match this and also other teams of NBA that want sign him. This mean NBA team need offer 3 years $73 million before tax contract to match Panathinaikos one.
Then this is once again another case of Europe overpaying to get players from USA.
Do you think we have chance get him with such offer? Is same contract Olympiacos give Anthony Parker.
If Artest is just looking at facts of money, then they have a good shot.
But most believe that he wants an NBA championship, which probably cancels Pana out.
You couldn't pay me to live in Europe.
But 26 million euro after taxes?
that would make me get rosetta stone greek on DVD.
So in other words, we COULD pay you to live in Europe.
if you wanna pay me the equivalent of 50 million bucks, sure thing
Actually Artest would probably do it for a year then come back.
Once again, for 50 million American, I don't blame him.
wow incredible, thats a lot of money for artest, they might as well throw that to all the superstar FA.
These Greek rumors are as believable than the Hoopsworld ones.
This sounds unbelievable. Kill_Bill_Pana we need a link or something to substantiate these claims. Where are you getting your information?
exactly. we here know not to trust peter vecsey any farther than we can throw him, and he works for the new york post. so why does a basketball euro-blog carry so much clout?

Amount of contract is mention in Greek tv and radio as "same as Anthony Parker contract". Parker get offer 24 million euro for 3 years plus 2 million euro bonus to sign. And this after tax. So they say Artest get "same offer from PAO that Parker get from Olympiacos".
Olympiacos is still have trouble get contract for Parker finish because Raptors manager Colangelo is try keep Parker from get out of contract.

Is well know for some time Dimitris Itoudis have been in US to recruit players for PAO. First choice of team was Scola. He offer 30 million euro after tax but Rockets refuse let him from contract.
Other players offer contract is Delfino, Jamison, and Artest.
I don't think that Artest will go to Greece but you never know. For a guy who came from the ghetto and is almost a gangsta he might do it just for the money. It's also a completely new experience for him to play in Greece. Might do him some good y'know? On the other hand, guys like Ron-Ron like the s om. He revels in fame. Why else would he put a rap album together and ask the Pacers for time off to promote it? He also has demanded to be the star on every team he has been on but when he comes to play he is a defensive and offensive force to be reckoned with. I give odds that Ron-Ron would go to Greece at 20% odds.
Bring in Artest!
Yes reports is even though we offers so much more money than NBA is not so good chance to get him. Not matter anyway because in Greece if he cause problem with any fan he will be attack. Also this thing have to be "the man" on his team will cause problem with Spanoulis. He try tell Spanoulis off and he will be in fight like he never know.
But if he was able to behave then he could be great player for us.
Imagine him and Diamantidis together in same team. Best defense in perimeter in world if play this lineup of Spanoulis, Diamantidis, Artest in perimeter. No team in NBA would even be able match that perimeter defense.
What will the Greeks do when Artest goes into the stands?
throw plates at him......
lol the fans would kill him over there. Remember this is Europe where they have hooligans following every soccor club. Those same fans would be in the stands for those Euroleague team throwing beer bottles and beating the crap out of each other and Artest would go down like a rock!
He would be killed.
Ya know what.
Take the crazy er.
I'm tired of sneaking in shives when I go ATT when the Spurs play the Kings.
