I like the sound of this.

My opinion would be Bourousis is similar to Bargnani with much much much much much much much much much much much much much better rebounding and also some post skills.
Better not be another Rasho Nesterovic...Last thing the Spurs need is another slow, jump-shooting big man(Bonner has that position filled).
Can free agents be offered contracts already?
seriously guys spurs cant be too picky on finding a center not too many options open...this guy looks like he can really help us and pop and r.c clearly like this guy to offer him a contract....kill_bill you think this guy will sign with us ?
He is not nearly as athletic as Bargnani.
This could be redemption for you KBP. Hope this is true.
That sounds good.
Draftexpress said it was 10 NBA teams offered him contract last summer. Of course he could not go last summer because he was under Olympiacos contract. I am sure Rockets with no Mutombo, with Yao injury issues and stamina issues and with other "centers" like Hayes and Dorsey then I am sure the Rockets would be begging to get Bourousis.
After all in STATS that your Morey is so famous for Bourousis was rated as #1 player in Euroleague per minute this year for the efficiency ranking and the PER I think he was #2 and he was also leading the Euroleague in rebounding.
But the Greek national team players have said before the best Greek player is Spanoulis and Rockets did not play him. I wonder how Morey would explain all the lies and treatment of Spanoulis to Bourousis. I wonder how Morey would explain threads like this from the Rockets fans to him about one of his good friends and the best Greek player.

Or all the racists in the Rockets fans against Greeks? All the Greek bashing and racism in the fan forum? All the Greek players have looked at that site.
This is America and English is our main language. Spanish is our second language. So please translate that link if you expect anyone to give a serious point/counterpoint to your premise or at least the supposed premise of the article in the link. TIA
I assure you that Bourousis runs the floor at least as good and for sure he jumps higher than Bargnani does.
Lol at every one of you only just now taking KBP suddenly serious and going into conversation with him.
Anyway, I hope for you KBP this is true here. Finally your dream of a Greek player in the NBA and Spurs is maybe coming true! I would not mind the guy playing with us.
Gia mas!
That's easy. All Morey has to do is tell him that this is Rick Adleman's team and the coach makes the ultimate decisions as to minutes played. All he has to do is emphasize what a great coach Rick Adleman is and how he's a players coach. Then point at Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry as examples how he's not afraid to play new players. As for CF's. He can just say that it doens't represent Houston or the Rockets and distance himself from the board.
He has two real obvious options stay in Olympiacos or Spurs.
Bourousis has say over and over he will one day play in NBA and this is his dream and what he wants. Also Spurs have alwsys been his team of choice.
If he stays in Olympiacos he will get more money but the problem is the same. EVERY YEAR they will lose to Panathinaikos. He will have much easier time winning NBA championship with Spurs than he would ever have winning even Greek championship with Olynpiacos. because no matter what Panathinaikos is in the way.
Spurs have such good rep with foreign players (except Scola and Splitter). Spurs are for sure most popular NBA team in Greece also. I am not sure because I know Olympiacos will do everything possible to keep him and of course remember that Olympiacos is much richer club than Spurs are.
But this is greatest chance and opportunity for Bourousis. My advice to him is got to Spurs he is crazy if he does not do it. Spanoulis to this day is everywhere he go he gets ridiculed and called names in Greece because he refused to play for Spurs. Bourousis is right now starting center of Greek national team over Koufos and if he goes to Spurs his status will be even higher.
Maybe even he will become #2 player on national team after Spanoulis even more important than Papaloukas or Diamantidis. So I will say Ioannis is crazy and stupid if he does not sign with Spurs. He will never get a chance this perfect again.
cannot be worst than bonner anyway, only issue he cannot keep his 9 jersey.
Is he known as a tough or soft player?
I hope he signs just so I can see the reaction on the forum the first time Bourousis has a big game and KBP gloats and starts 3 new threads over it.
Not many know a whole lot about Bourousis, except for possibly KBP, objective, and Bruno, so this is just one of those (possible) signings you have to trust the FO with. Welcome, Ioannis. That is, if he signs.
he like to work in the pick and role
that is gooooooooooooooooood
KBP, show us your amazing Greek translation skills.
well i hope he signs with us because we desperately need some help besides timmy...and i dont think we can get any through free agency in the nba...i am not high on Gortat
lol, don't count me in with them, I don't know much more than watching a couple of games (like against Tau). Beyond the little game footage I can catch online I just read DX and Interbasket like everyone else.
BUT what I do know is how little I think of the Spurs bigs not named Tim Duncan.
Speaking of watching stuff online, there should be a Viktor Sanikidze highlight video on Youtube in a couple of weeks hopefully.
