Russian clubs will have to cut budgets. Greek clubs will not be affected. So it will mainly be PAO and Olympiacos that can go after any NBA player. That will probably only Euro teams doing this for next couple years.

No. European game is much more physical. Most physical of all is Euroleague, Greek league, very best clubs of Spain (like TAU) and Italy (Siena) and Russia (CSKA) and Eurobasket.
So the Spanish League overall isn't as physical as Euroleague or Greek, but Tau could rough it up in those leagues?
KBP is a major homer. The Greek league may be more physical than the Spanish League (teams generally play a more grind out style), but it's not that big of a difference, while the gap on quality is fairly big in favour of the Spaniards. There are 2 quality teams in Greece (which basically don't lose games during the entire season) plus a couple of above average ones, but in the ACB every game counts and the overall quality of the game is much higher.
TAU is one of the best teams in Europe (they made last season Final 4, unlike any greek team and they have a good chance of winning it all this season). They're as good as the 2 best Greek teams and vastly superior to any other one.
Nonsense. Greek clubs Panellinios, Aris, Panionios, Maroussi any of these clubs is better than #6-16 clubs of Spain. Also some of them like Panionios and Maroussi is better than #5 club of Spain.
Also Olympiacos is in same level as any team of Spain, actually only Spanish club better than them is maybe TAU and even this is debatable and Panathinaikos is better than any Spanish club.
Spain league is just a little barely better than Greek league because it has some better mid level clubs like Unicaja and Real that Greece does not have in this time because clubs like AEK and PAOK and even Aris are not trying like they once did.
Some Spanish clubs are physical overall is not though. Some clubs in Spain like Rubios club is soft as can be. TAU is physical though.
That's ridiculous. Nobody over here really cares (and if they do, they can just check the records), so I'll just leave this:
What records? Do you even realize that Maroussi is in same division as Khimki and Dynamo Moscow and they will probably advance and one of Russian clubs will not? And club like Panionios is better than club like Joventut.
And what do you mean records? So Olympiacos has 2 losses in Greece and so does PAO. And TAU has 2 losses in Spain. What is your point?
Except Vasquez is an average role player even in Europe, while Splitter is a Euroleague MVP and arguably the best player in Europe.
Hey guys, Draft express will be posting some info on Splitter tommorow about his NBA status. Just thought I would let you know.
Update us when it comes up, yazo. Please and thanks.
Just like NBA fans keep say Scola is Euroleague MVP and is not true this is not true either. Splitter has never been Euroleague MVP either. But yes Splitter is of course better than Vazquez. But Vazques is a good shot blocker.
Sorry, my mistake. He was All-Euro 1st team. Like Scola.
What MVP did Manu win, the Italian League?
I think is something like MVP of Italy league 2 times and MVP of Italy Cup 1 time. And I know he is MVP of Euroleague final four 1 time. This is not same award as Euroleague MVP. Is like Euroleague version of NBA finals MVP.
I do not think he ever won regular season Euroleague MVP or MVP of Italy Super cup or MVP of Italy playoffs.
Are you really arguing that the A1 is as deep as the ACB? That's too bizarre to merit a comment.
The continental compe ions records. LOL at Panionios being better than Joventut. I mean, you did follow last season's ULEB Cup, right? They got beaten twice by whom? Pamesa, Gran Canaria? Perhaps better than this year DKV without Rubio, but that's not exactly meaningful.
Yeah, but probably because the Euroleague MVP award didn't exist till 2003/2004...
He won the Final Four MVP during Kinder Bologna's 2002 EuroLeague win. He was also selected to the All-EuroLeague 1st team that year.
Panionios has beat Dynamo, Khimki, PAO, Efes, Partizan, Real Madrid already this year. Yes they are better than DKV Joventut.
Spain league is not deep league anymore. You live in past. In fact Italy league is probably deeper than Spain league. Spain league has 5 good teams. That is it. Even Pamesa and Bilbao are not good teams. A team even like Panellinios would crush them rather easily and Panionios and Maroussi are better than Panellinios.
Let me give you some understanding. Budget of team like TAU is $15-$20 millions, budget of Aris is $18 million. Aris is considered in this time maybe 5th-6h best team in Greece.
Of course overall Spain league is better than Greece. But you cannot say like Spain is so much better and there is only 2 good teams in Greece and so many good ones in Spain. Because this is bull by a lot.
5 good teams in Spain and 6 good teams in Greece. Overall Spain a little bit better than Greece.

I think this is wrong. Panathinaikos won Euroleague that year.
WTF is this? You are wrong. Ever since Euroleague was form in 2000 there has been regular season MVP award.
Late 80s, early 90s. The biggest difference being that the shooter was always more protected in the NBA.
Btw, Tau won today's Final versus Unicaja; Splitter with 12/6 in 25 minutes of foul trouble.
Any video highlights mogrovejo? And I wish I knew who to believe, I can't wait til I can actually follow Euro bball.
So far great year for TAU they have won Spain Supercup and Spain King cup. Only left is to win ACB and they are in pace to get home court for playoffs.
