Comparing Duncan to Bourousis? Really?
K_B_P told me that Tim couldn't hold his jock.(Joking K_B_P, joking)
You asked who in their right mind would take less scratch, it wasn't the same figure per year, but Timmy left plenty on the table.(Al Jefferson kind of followed Tim's lead and probably left even more, also. Damn, Americans...)
Spanish media reports he has also been given now offers by the Cavs and Grizzlies.

KBP comes close to being a quality contributor to the forum then says outrageous BS such as some Greek center who was average in the D-League would now suddenly be a top tier NBA players, that Vaginis is better than Chris Paul and the best players in the NBA would get beat handily by players from Eastern Europe.
I want Brontosaurus to hurry up and stop pretending he's the lone Greek not afraid of the NBA and sign with a Euro team ... like he and his agent have planned all along.
hey kbp if bourousis comes to the spurs, what happens with t splitter?
Rumpelstiltskin?I have a belly button.
and whoever doesn't agree with this absurd estimations automatically will be called ......(insert whatever insulting term the English language offers).
just imagine, one of the really good international players like Dirk, Tony, Manu, would actually be from Greece.....
we would get a new thread started every day by him, where he tells the world that they are better than MJ, Bird and Magic ever were.
You want us to respect him because (you claim) he will leave 700K Euro per season on the table to play for the Spurs instead of RM. But he has made it clear that he will play for Oly if they meet his demand of 1.7M Euro - that's the reason for the continued negotiations. That doesn't sound like he wants to play here - it sounds like he really doesn't want to play in Spain. Or maybe, just maybe, a lot of these stories are fabrications.
You want to know why my Bull -O-Meter is going off? Let's see... according to your math, a 6.3M Euro contract is worth $17.5M, and the Spurs have offered $5.6M less. Correct? That makes the Spurs offer about $12M (let's round to keep it simple). So, keeping with your own math, the Spurs offer is the equivalent of about 1.4M Euro per season. We've read, over and over, that he is demanding 1.7M Euro from Oly. And the latest stories say that Oly has offered him 1.4M Euro, plus bonuses. That makes the Oly offer and the Spurs offer just about the same.
So this is what all of that means:
He won't play in Madrid for 2.1M Euro. (Current offer from RM)
And he won't play in Greece for 1.4M Euro. (Current offer from Oly)
But he will play in the U.S. for 1.4M Euro. (Current offer from Spurs)
And he will play in Greece for 1.7M Euro. (His demand to Oly)
He will leave $5.6M on the table to play for the Spurs vs. Madrid. (According to KBP)
But he won't leave $5.6M on the table to play in Greece vs. Madrid. (Won't accept 1.4M Euro from Oly)
He won't leave $2.5M on the table to play for the Spurs vs. Oly. (1.7M Euro vs 1.4M Euro)
But he will leave $3.5M on the table to play in Greece vs. Madrid. (1.7M Eu vs 2.1M Eu)
It doesn't all add up. It's not about the money, but he's negotiating for more money. He wants to play in the NBA, but he's in daily negotiations to play somewhere else. He's supposedly the best center in the Euros, but Oly considers him a luxury. He's supposedly (according to KBP) one of the best centers in the world, but nobody is willing to pay him more than $4M per season, except for RM who is offering about $5.8M per season? (And $5.8M is still less than Nazr and Darko are getting.)
The latest "news" from a Greek media site says that Bourousis met with the Angelopoulos brothers today (Friday), that the climate of the negotiations changed completely, and that they are "a breath away" from making a deal for him to stay with Olympiacos.
For the record, the article indicates Bourousis and his agent managed to use the other teams to get leverage for their negotiations with Oly, and it worked.

19/06/2009 18:41 »OLYMPIAKOS - To stay the Bourousis!
The possibility to withdraw from the John Bourousis Olympiakos seems upset that the Angelopoulos brothers according to information made shortly before the new improved proposal to the Greek senter. Well-informed sources indicate that the two sides now are a breath away from the agreement for renewal of their cooperation in the next few hours might be a statement of the Olympic theme for ...
Olympiakos see that the player is lost, and having the «bogeyman» Real top of his head, which pushes the player to answer the Panathinaiko enter the game, decided to bring back the Bourousi. The pressure from Real for the player finally worked positively for the Olympic, after the team realized that it may lose the senter and Angelopoulos said raising their offer.
The two sides spoke again in a very good, this time, climate, and now everything is open to the eve of the Greek senter at the port, the Olympic winning several points in the battle. The new approach Angelopoulos made and the player must wait a bit to see whether the case will be successful.
After the unsuccessful meeting Thursday seemed that both sides had more to them than separated them united, but rather the climate changed completely on Friday. The Bourousis is closer than any other time to renew the contract, assuming of course has several reversals in the past.
IB just emailed me back....

It looks like Bourousis has re-signed with Olympiacos.
[/thread]
You are such an idiot....Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, Lebron James (yes..Lebron...he's only making 14.5 million..MILES less than what he could be getting paid), Bruce Bowen, Chauncey Billups, Ron Artest, Chris Paul, Ben Gordon....all those guys, just off the top of my head, are guys who have, at one time or another, taken less money to help the team bring in more talent. Also add Tony Parker and Manu to that list, both of which took less money so they could sign the other. For someone who bashes people for not having knowledge and making things up, you sure as do the same thing a lot.
At least now we can focus on players who actually want to play in the NBA.
Kill_Bill_Pana.....................LIES!!!!
add another one to the list of scrubs that uses us to get better contracts. Move along nothing to see here.
But Olympiacos don't need him they have Galapogos, Shankolitisi, Ughejlolpolpos and Papalapalopalolipas at center already!
BLACKJACK21,
Honest.
Trustworthy.
Owner of a belly button.
