How is it a fail when the rookie pay scale is set?
Rocketfan as always, fail.
Well on the flip side of that, one injury and your career is done and you missed out on the 5 or so million that you could've had when you signed it.
Football players do it alot, and I don't begrudge em.
Just his instance though, I have a hard time living with if he made a committment to the team last summer, then when push comes to shove, he backs out.
Scola I honestly don't think I was mad with, cause the Spurs frucked up the negotiations obviously in getting down his buyout or WHATEVER did it.
It seemed this was different, but maybe its not. Who knows.

Exactly how does one rate your career in terms of earnings potential vs getting a championship? Many players never have a chance to get a championship so what do you do? Go for the dollars or Euros that's what.
PAO has offer Kosta Koufos equal to $13.5 million US over 3 year contract. He have not make his decision yet. So this can be one base on what he decide. He decide base on how high he is draft. If he draft very high and money is close he will go NBA. If he fall a little he will sign with PAO.
oh wow... on behalf of all my Brazilian friends, go yourself!
yeah, same old story
To go back to what TIMVP said, theres no doubt in my mind, had Splitter come over, he would've won the starting job. Would it have taken a few games in November to beat out Oberto? No question. He would though have done it. Heres hoping a hail mary convincing job somehow changes things with Tiago.It sucks because if he would have signed with the Spurs this summer, there was a good chance he could win the starting center job for the Spurs next season.
Well I was talking about what actually happens. Many players leave high six to low seven figure deals from Europe on the table to play for a few thousand in the D-League.
That's it. Grab him by the balls.
Bruno, you made my day just a little brighter.
Thanks.
I am try explain this incorrect. D-League players leave Europe most is make about 50,000 to 300,000 euros. Most all of them is also cut from team. They not leave contract by choice. They fail in their team and is cut or contract is sold off.
He holds dual citizenship and is not yet a rookie.
He would not be making 1 or 2 mil forever and that is hardly chump change. I make 70 grand a year and am doing just fine. He plays well in the NBA and the millions will be rolling in. If he to wants avoid the jump to the NBA because he is scared of not playing up to big dollar standards then i guess he took the cowards way out. For me with all the perks, that go along with playing for the Spurs and knowing full well i can make a ton of cash down the road, i am going to SA.
Do you have salary information for every player in every league in Europe?
Please give me a link.
Was he that NBA ready??
this sucks more and more by the minute.
Dual citizenship mean nothing. In Greece you can have 2 American players in team and also 6 foreign players total in team. This is non issue. Reason he offer contract is because PAO wants him as player after how he perform with national team because Greek coaches see him in person. Nothing more than this.
Was he that NBA ready??
this sucks more and more by the minute.
No question about it that hes THAT NBA ready.
He could've given 10 and 8 in my view, right off that bat.
Hes a great low post scorer, and a damn good versatile defender and shot blocker.
Thats why its being taken so damn hard. Plus hes only 23.
Being Greek does.
Base on what you talk about D-League players that leave from Europe this is typical. Even player like Dermar Johnson has fail in many Euroleague workouts to even get contract and have been cut by several teams.
I give recent example for Greek league. Mateen Cleaves is make 350,000 euro in Panionios and is cut by team for poor play. He then go to D-League. Only reason he even make this much salary is because so many years play in NBA he is able ask for this amount. Players with little or no NBA time can get nothing close to this salary.
100% what we needed to help Timmy for next season ing unbelievable, Man this is awful
That was not the quesiton.

What is point of this? He is not be offer contract because he is Greek. How you explain Pekovic who Montenegro player have his agent deman all NBA team not draft him first round?
He is easy first round pick and will not be because agent tell all NBA team draft him round 2 only. Why? Because PAO give him $13.5 million contract otherwise he will be NBA rookie next year and first round pick.
He is not Greek in any way. He is just player PAO want like Koufos.
Yup.100% what we needed to help Timmy for next season ing unbelievable, Man this is awful
If you look back I've said that Tiago Splitter is the medicine to what ails this team next year. Hes the offensive low post presence you can go through when Dncna is on the bench, and hes a good defensive big man rebounder that can play next to him. Hes someone that can stay with a Dirk Nowtizki or better yet an improving David West.
If the Spurs could've incorporated a Tiago Ian Mahinmi bigman rotation along with Bonner, Oberto and or Kurt Thomas would've been awesome.
So being Greek and playing for the Greek national team has no effect at all on his comfort level in signing with a Greek team instead of staying in the US?
Of course it does.
This guy is the exception.
Such thing not exist. One of things make many fans in Europe mad. But it depend on individual player and team. You make it be like just be American D-League level player equal big contract in Europe not true.
Player like Washington get good contract because Aris managers believes he is talent player and can be good Euroleague player. So far he prove different and they are not able get rid of his contract.
But this is point, some other D-League player might get very small contract with small club and be lucky. Washington get huge contract for American D league player.
Thanks. You didn't need to say anything else.
