Ioannis Bourousis to Stay in Greece

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I got this from another board but apparanly Olympiakos have cut their basketball budget as the owners are buying a 50% share of a soccer team.

In any case...KBP needs some cred

Ive been lurking these boards for years and not once have i seen a poster pull a prediction like this let alone 6 months in advance.

I do not know if they cut the basketball budget or not. But I do know that they will be spending about $208 millions to purchase a 49% share of the soccer club as this is supposed to be a joint effort with Angelopoulos brothers and Kokkalis. They believe by all 3 billionaires sharing in the soccer transfers budget that they can then win the cup. Kokkalis is the Olympiacos chairman so he can approve this.

So yes that is affecting their transfer budget for this summer.

Ya, but what about all of the hundreds of wrong predictions?

Lies.

[samikeyp]

Lies.

Ok, lets rephrase....

Ya, but what about all of the hundreds of lies?

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Now KBP..you've been doing so much better. Seriously, you have to admit that the NBA has the most talent of any professional basketball organization in the world. I would love to have Bourousis on our team, and I think he would be VERY helpful, but in my honest opinion, I don't think he'll be as big to the Spurs as he is to Pao.

This proves that you have no room to talk about NBA level compared to Euroleague. You do not even know what team Bourousis plays on. You just repeat same old phrase over and over "NBA is greatest in world". NBA is best league but it is only a little bit better than the good Euroleague clubs. NBA fans just imagine this other crap about how "NBA is million times better than Euroleague".

Anyone can just make up crap out of nothing and that is what most NBA fans do when they talk about basketball outside US.

Lies.


No one said it was "million times better" all that has been said is that it is better and is the highest level of compe ion in Basketball. Which is true.

Alright..you know what? I was trying to be nice to your sorry ass, but I'm done with it. Yet another person tries to send out an olive branch, and you refuse it..then you wonder why everyone hates you. I've stood up for you for the past few pages in this thread, even saying what you said to other people who asked for updates. I accidentally typed Pao instead of Olympiacos...get over it. I know about the guy...I was thinking about one thing and typing another. The fact is, NBA players destroyed every other country in the Olympics...especially Greece. We are the best league in the damn world...everyone knows it, including you. You just won't admit it because your ego is as inflated as your date was last night, Jeff. Get over yourself. How's the weather in Mountain Home Arkansas? Or are you back in Houston now?

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

hey ceds and buttsr4rebounding....you wonder why Kill's_Been_Pinked gets so much ? here you go....you disagree with him and he goes middle school and starts name calling.

Point made, case closed.

WRONG. You keep insisting made up nonsense. You keep telling the board that any player would want to play in NBA or he is a gutless coward and other like this. And then you make up a lie that if anyone disagreed with that then they must be a liar.

And you accuse me of being rude and stupid. Only a person that is ignorant of everything in the world could be as foolish as you.

lies.

I said if anyone disagreed with you, you called them names...which you did. I did not call you rude or stupid, I said you were a bad sport.

KBP, if Bourousis does not come to the Spurs this year, will you owe everyone an apology for lies?

Well you threw out the bait with

"Of course being from Arkansas, you would know about being not mentally evolved"

Anyway, He throws tantrums and cant handle peeps not accepting his pov....I get that ...For the most part though i think its a good comic relief, and he does take alot of from ppl on this board

I do like reading his posts though...KPB brings alot of basketball info to the forum and usally backs it up with links and stats. He contributes more then most on here

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

KBP: I think Timvp meant that the Spurs are competing with Olympiacos, a team known for not letting players go to the NBA. They are big compe ion for NBA teams trying to lure foreign players. As are many clubs.

But you still never responded to how Bourousis is disrespecting the club by not meeting with them?

He has already met with them multiple times and they have not offered anything he likes, why does he owe them?

In NBA the practice is players and agents sign with whatever team they want and they get the contract and sign it. This is NOT common practice in Greece. In Greece the player after he gets a contract even if he wants to sign it and leave his current team he needs to meet with his current team and discuss it.

He needs to talk with his club about it. This is considered standard behavior and to be professional at ude and actions. Of course American players are excused from this in Greece because they NEVER do so. The Greek teams gave up long ago trying to get them to act so properly. But other European players and certainly all Greek players are expected to show decent respect to their clubs.

You are expected to explain everything to your club and all of that even if you are leaving. It is not like NBA where no one has to show any manners.

Once again, where? He never post links to valid sources and never uses stats.

Ok, I agree with that, but did he not do this in the first 2 meetings?

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

The prediction is not impressive....if it turns out to be true, then yes it will be.

The problem is though, if it comes true, instead of being a good sport about it, KBP is going to gloat, call people names and insult the US. He will be guilty of the same kind of behavior he accuses others of doing to him.

What? Never. I am not immature like you.

Actually the bait was thrown out a ong time ago and not just by me.

He is absolutely good comic relief and I treat him as such. He does get a lot of but to be fair, he brings most of it on himself.

I don't mind the hoops knowledge but its the "all NBA fans are this" or "all US people are that" which bothers me. You saw earlier and not just with me, if you disagree with him, he calls you names and says you lie. Like I said, he brings it on himself.

[DPG21920]

But if he does come....

If he does come everyone will be pleasantly surprised and say good job KBP. That does not excuse many of the other lies, but at least it is a step in the right direction.

I can give you links but it seems to be accepted on here that all media that is greek cannot be trusted.

You do not want us to post links of the threads you started when V-Span won MVP do you? You gloated and were pretty rude to some people. So I would not say "never" if I were you.

Here is the latest update and news.

http://www.superbasket.gr/?c=136&a=113770

Nowhere does it say the crap from Bruno's post that he has signed with Olympiacos. It says Olympiacos managers keep meeting with him and want badly to keep him. It does NOT say he signed with Olympiacos or that he "used Spurs to get more money".

Also this one

http://www.contra.gr/Basketball/ ...os/241502.html

This says he is very aware of several NBA offers and he does even have official terms from Olympiacos until the next meeting. Again does not say anything about he signed with Olympiacos or used Spurs to get more money.

http://www.sportnet.gr/report.aspx?id=190064

This says that Olympiacos wants to do whatever they can to sign him and keep him. It says NOTHING about he signed with them or used Spurs to get more money. It also says the Spurs HAVE OFFERED him a 4 year deal and he has NOT decided to deny it yet.


There has NOT been any decision that he will stay with Olympiacos and NOTHING like that has been announced yet. Until it says he "signed with Olympiacos" he has NOT signed with them. Bruno is always posting CRAP and making up what European articles says.

The only issue that seems to be coming up is that he is getting full MLE type money offer from Olympiacos for 4 years and less from Spurs at about $4 million a year for 4 years. The Spurs are not offering him full MLE because he does not know how to speak English. They would offer full MLE if he did but because he does not have lowered the offer to him because they are worried it could be a problem.

The dude lately has been throwing out his source of info and still gets stepped on...Credible or not, they are source info.

[samikeyp]

What? Never. I am not immature like you.

True....you're worse.

[samikeyp]

I mean lies you say about me.

No more so than the lies you have said.

[DPG21920]

I can give you links but it seems to be accepted on here that all media that is greek cannot be trusted.

He links to other message boards and blogs by posters like you and I. That is not credible, and yes, some European media is not very reliable.
