    Ex-Rockets guard Wafer signs with Olympiakos

    Free agent guard Von Wafer has signed a two-year, $10 million deal to play for Olympiakos, the same Greek team that landed Linus Kleiza from the Nuggets earlier this week.

    The 6-foot-5 shooting guard will leave for Greece on Friday, said Giovanni Funiciello, who is Wafer’s international agent.

    The contract will allow Wafer to opt out after one season, but only to sign with an NBA team. Wafer confirmed the deal Wednesday after it was reported by KRIV-TV in Houston.

    Wafer, 24, averaged 9.7 points and shot 39 percent from 3-point range for the Rockets in 2008-09. He made about $800,000 in his only season in Houston.

    Funiciello said the offer from the Greek team was the best one Wafer got over the summer.

    “Financially, he wasn’t going to get that type of an offer in the NBA,” Funiciello said. “As far as I knew, he really didn’t have anything concrete as far as the NBA was concerned.”

    The Greek club team also recently signed former Denver forward Linas Kleiza.

    Denver Nuggets officials said this week that Kleiza has agreed to a two-year deal with Olympiakos worth more than $12 million.

    A league where Pargo and Childress suck is "not as good as D League". You are going to ignore bin.

    Arrrgh... why can't you ever acknowledge the fact that nba and fiba play two different systems and if a player is good in one system does not necessarily mean that he's good in the other one too.

    So how do you explain then that guys like V-Span, Childress, Pargo and others just suck after they changed from NBA to Europe or vice versa?

    Some are able to adjust in time and be great players (e.g. Scola, Parker) and other's struggle so bad? Why is Duncan a future hall of famer in the NBA but struggles in FIBA tournaments? Saying that Euroleague and NBA are on the same level and saying that the systems are not different makes you sound like someone not knowing anything about basketball.

    Spanoulis is far better than those other players like Pargo and Childress. Please just stop. It is a fact he was ruined by his coach in the NBA over a personal dispute. Everyone knows it.

    When are the Olympiakos going to do some exhibition games in the States in high school gymnasiums? It shouldn't be THAT much of a change from the arenas they play in back at home!

    I guess Spurs and Cavs play in "high school gyms".

    BTW, Greek teams arenas

    Maroussi 20,000
    PAOK 8,500
    Aris 5,500
    AEP 5,500
    Larissa 5,500
    Panathinaikos 20,000
    Olympiacos 15,000
    Panionios 15,000
    Panellinios 15,000

    Those are some big "high school gyms"

    Of course education system is so poor in US that many people cannot reason something this simple. They see 2,000 or 20,000 and to them it is the same number because they have knowledge level of imbeciles.

    Even if he is better than Pargo and Childress and even if he was ruined by his coach he still has to prove that he can play on NBA Level. Unless that happens the discussion is senseless.

    Spanoulis is a scrub.

    His tenure in the NBA proves it.

    You are a dumb ass. Spanoulis is better than any NBA point guard. STFU with this "prove himself" crap. He does not have to prove with the level he is at these days.
