Ioannis Bourousis Is Rank As #1 Free Agent By DX

[Spursfan092120]

Wow, the euro talent must really suck for Pargo to be the number 2 free agent over season.
So HorrIBourousis does suck, eh?
Thanks moron.

All the spurs offered was half the LLE. He must REALLY suck then.
Witness the coming of Rasho V.2

Oh god..

To be honest, what would be wrong with having Rasho right now as a backup to Gooden?

[DPG21920]

Also, if this is true, two questions:

Are Spurs fans happy with this and how does this effect 2010 plan?

What are the odds he accepts the offer and comes to the Spurs?

[DesignatedT]

Interesting....

[Indazone]

obviously

Yea, the "sperm" thing didn't sound to right. I thought I was reading something from "spork killer"

[Spursfan092120]

The translated le is hilarious...

The sperm in the proposed three-year contract Bourousi



Um...what? lol

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I can explain it simply. It happens because of articles like "Bourousis will be the Spurs savior." We came in here and said he might be a good addition, but Tim Duncan was a savior..David Robinson was a savior..Michael Jordan was a savior. This guy's never even played in the NBA...wouldn't call him a savior. He proceeded to call all Americans fools and idiots. Any time anyone disagreed with him in any way, shape or form, he would call them fools and idiots for having opinions that weren't the same as his. Then, he tries to portray himself as a greek living in Panama when he's posting from Mountain Home, Arkansas with a Comcast IP...he's a troll who enjoys insulting people...so we insult back. Now, people are saying Bourousis sucks (I'm not one of them) just to piss him off. Can't blame them..the guy's been a total asshole to some of the best posters in here (Bruno, for one).

You are just a mean person to me.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Also, how does he compare to Gortat and would this money be better spent on him?

I like Gortat but Bourousis is a much more talented player I think. Bourousis can actually score a lot of points and he is a BETTER REBOUNDER than Gortat is. Bourousis is also a much bigger defender in paint area and at rim.

Bourousis has 3 point range and a good jump shot.

I don't know at all how legit is this source.
News coming from Europe are often far from being reliable, so take it with a grain of salt.

News coming from USA

"Iraq has WMD"

"Saddam did 9/11"

Cheney in last couple days "I never said this"

yes of course USA news is "more trustworthy" than Europe news

Actually, US media is rank as #37 most trustworthy in the world by official UN study and panel on the world medias. THIRTY SEVEN.

Which has what, exactly, to do with basketball?

Bruno never said news from the US was more reliable. Stop making up comcast boy.

Very Nice!

I'VE been a member here for a few months and I do read alot of posts. As you can see i rarely post myself, dont have much time. One thing I have noticed is that everyone is always bashing KBP I really dont understand why, many of you seem to start with him and 90% of the time he just keeps talking about basketball. Well in this case he seems to have been right in regards to Bourousis. If the spurs do sign him, which I hope they do, then can you leave the poor bas alone. Maybe someone could explain to me why no one likes KBP, did he have something to do with our first round exit or maybe he is the reason Scola never wore silver and black? Please let me know.

because of like this:

Well that and he lies about being Greek.

Thank you for some background, now lets just talk basketball.
Savior, no but he is better than any big other than timmy we have. If he can give 12 pts 7 boards we succeeded.

Isn't that what Dwight Gooden was supposed to give you guys?

[samikeyp]

Isn't that what Dwight Gooden was supposed to give you guys?

No because he retired when he lost his fastball.

Drew Gooden, on the other hand, could help the Spurs.

[Indazone]

^ lol..ok ya got me. Drew Gooden

[Scola]

Never seen this guy play, but at least hes under 30
7ft, 280 lbs, Age 25
I thought we were over the cap, is this part of our MLE?

[D-ROB 50]

Isn't that what Dwight Gooden was supposed to give you guys?

No,..thats what Scola was supposed to give us.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Isn't that what Dwight Gooden was supposed to give you guys?

NBA scout that was at the Olympiacos TAU game said that Bourousis is like 7 feet version of Carl Landry.

[lcroock]

Three things this would mean:
1) MLE is basically gone, so we won't be able to sign someone like T.Ariza/M.Williams to solidify our SF spot.
2) Gooden is gone
3) Potentially hurts our chances of getting Splitter next year. I would imagine that Splitter will demand a bigger contract than this one.

I don't like the looks of this. This guy might have size but how much does this help us now and in the future? I don't know that he will be able to block shots at the NBA level due to his lack of foot speed. He kind of moves around the court like Vlade Divac, of course without Vlade's skills. We really need an intimidator down low. We shall see I guess...

Who else is interested? The Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State Warriors, the Orlando Magic, the Miami Heat, and the San Antonio Spurs. Maybe Rockets. Anyone else?

hmmm doubt that. Landry can handle the rock and has the potential to develop an outside game that would make him very dangerous.

I like the offer, though it's somewhat low for him. Cheaper than Gortat.

1. Ariza is a zero-chance signing.
2. I'm glad Gooden is gone.
3. Gives them flexibility with Splitter, who could still never come over. If the Spurs have Bourousis, they could be more likely to include Splitter's rights in a trade.

Bourousis doesn't really block shots at a big level like Javtokas, but he's a of a rebounder and can spread the floor at least as well as Rasho/Kurt Thomas.
