My friend in Greece said that it was said in radio that Real Madrid manager said they offered Bourousis contract and his agent and him told him they could not accept because he will be starting center for Spurs next year!
It was never reported he was serious about signing with any team other than Spurs or Olympiacos. It was never reported he said he already was staying at Olympiacos or that he "would prefer to stay in Greece". Those posts saying such things were fantasies of posters here and US media bloggers and nothing more.
STOP lying. Posts like this RUIN the board.
Spanoulis will spend one more year in PAO for 100% sure. Then after this he will consider return to NBA. He will probably wait until after 2010 world championship and then will sign in NBA or stay with PAO. He has 3 main possibilities he considers.
1. Spurs want him to be starting SG or 6th man.
2. Knicks want him to be starting point guard.
3. PAO wants him to stay as starting point guard.
This is where he stands now. Obviously if Bourousis is in the Spurs it will be much easier for him to come to the Spurs.
Olympiacos will swoop in and grab him. Spurs have not made an official offer yet.

You can send messages to Bourousis about how much you want him to join the Spurs here, supposedly.

There have been many numbers thrown around for awhile, but what do you believe the Spurs will offer Bourousis, in years and salary?
KBP you are so close to redeeming yourself here. Don't blow it.
He could be the goat if he would just accept our olive branch and stop acting like he is the king of 10,722,816 (July 2008 est.) people.
I guess his manager will read them. Bourousis English is not good.
He is refusing to meet with Olympiacos owners until he has the Spurs offer after July 1. So that issue does not matter.
Reports in recent days were saying either 3 years $9 millions or 4 years 412 millions. Also it was said Bourousis was requesting 3+1 contract at least from Olympiacos.
So I take this as Spurs offer must be 3 years $9 millions guaranteed with a 4th year team option for $3 million.
Why would he meet with Real and not Olympiacos? Also, if what you said was true, his agent said he WILL be with the Spurs, so why meet with Olympiacos? Best Olympicacos will do is match the "offer" from the Spurs supposedly.
I am saying no one even knows if the Spurs will make him a real offer. Olympiacos already has.
Why? Because this has been his team for last 3 years that is why. He owes them to at least meet with them and show them what the Spurs offer will be. He has no reason to treat his team with disrespect. You expect him to act like NBA free agents do? This sort of thing and at ude of how NBA free agents act is not accepted practice in Greece.
That would give us, I believe, about $2.8M left in the MLE.
They are disrespecting him by not giving him what he wants and what these NBA teams are offering him. Players do not owe teams anything. He has met with them multiple times already, why does he owe them more?
And didn't you say he already said he is playing with the Spurs? Is that not disrespect?
This is not adding up.
When did Brourousis himself say he's was already a Spur?
Tell me KBP, why is it that we hide? Why is it that when you sleep at night, you lie there wondering what could have been if you had only made different decisions. Do you sit there sipping your Chianti thinking about those you have wronged? Does your guilt consume you?
Why do you need Bourousis so badly; if you want to find the truth you must do something for me first, that is how things work. Lets us see where you post from and I give you my word, you will have your IBS.
Greek radio, Real Madrid said Bourousis's manager said so.
There is a difference though, pro basketball players worth anything want to play in the NBA.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

His agent turned down a deal, supposedly, saying he couldn't do it because he was going to be a Spur next year. If that's the case, he might be ready to sign.
Ioannis Bourousis
Man, saying what I wrote in Hannibal's voice in my head even freaked me out.
