so give him one year here then resign him in 2010
e ally if he wants to play with SA that bad
you. NO ONE has ever believe any Greek source here. I do not even want to waste time anymore on it. It just comes 100 posts of insults and racist comments against Greece.
Links please.
Oh, and if you actually have those sources, just google translate: http://translate.google.com/ .
Reported in Greece........

here is a link I think, I tried translating it through yahoo and google, didn't turn out that well
"
Piraeus' Olympiacos' aukštaūgis Ioannis Bourousis proposal received the following season match Real Madrid team, published by the Greek press.
Spanish Greek offers a three-year contract, but the I. Bourousis is willing to extend the current contract with the team.
Reported that I. Bourousiu is also interested in and the San Antonio Spurs, "Auckland" Warriors "and the Memphis" Grizzlies' Clubs.
25 years 210 cm tall striker this season in the middle played 22 Euroleague games, through, on average, spent the parquet after 21 minutes, to earn 12.5 points, 7.4 atšokusio win back the ball and carried out fruitful 0.7 transmission."
Here some footage of the guy, not bad.

No, thanks.
He's a curiosity to me. He seems smart on the pick and roll and has range, two things that would make him a Popovich fascination. But I watched the recent Final Four and really question whether he has the defensive speed, foot and body, to play passable defense in the NBA. I'm not making a dogmatic pronouncement, but I think there is a chance he could be the Greek Jackie Butler. That's a lot of risk to take when his contract would eat valuable dollars and require multiple years.
Bouroussis isn't bad, but i go on Splitter for all my life
Well, IMO, he will take an offer for 3-4m euros tax free per year from Olympiakos and stay here. I doubt that there is a team at nba to invest so much money for Bourousis
You maybe right, but that 3-4mi offer from Olympiakos will always be there for him. He should take a pay cut in order to chase an NBA ring and improve his game playing alongside Tim Duncan.
Yeah, that 's what he have to do if he wants to play at nba.
But the pay cut will be a large one. 3m € = 3.9m$ , 4m€ = 5,2m$ and Olympiakos also pay the tax.Let's say the tax is 10% , so Olympiakos offer 4,2-5,7m$.
Another factor is the playing time. He (Bourousis) probably wants to ensure that he have at least 15m per game to accept a pay cut.
Thats my opinion and not what Bourousis will do.
I'm just trying to say that there are a few Greek players that could play at NBA ,Papaloukas, Diamantidis but they never want to. I also think that it's difficult to prove that spurs made an offer on Bourousis cause spurs never say on who player really are interesting in. There are rumors there and here and just rumors. I could say that those rumors are managers game for a larger contract from Olympiakos. IMO only Printezis will try to play at NBA , and there are a Canadian article (sry i can find right now) that Toronto is after him.
Anyway as i live in Greece , i could say that Bourousis is an aggessive C, good rebounder and blocker. He needs to work his post game and coach Giannakis works on that way.

Geia sou Ellada!!!
Bourousis, will lose tons of money the first year, and he is not going to have lots of playing time with SA, but he will improve his game, thats for granted, and that by itself worths the money IMHO. So even if he doesn't crack the rotation, his time is not wasted.
Geia sou File, na pernas kala
We will find out soon , it's always the same case. Money or a chance to play with the best of the world

There we go, a translated article with info, thank you
New link from Greek, Miami offer guaranteed time for Bourousis. Interest from Spurs.

i hope he signs but not for too much the best for the minimum for one year to see how he is in the nba
Let's hope he joins our Team, Miami is not a good place for him anyways.
Well if it's true, i don't see a reason to not sign for Miami. Guaranteed time for a pay cut + a chance to play with DWade.To good to be true. It's a long long summer....
Don't forget that V-Span also had guaranteed playing time with the Rockets, according to the teams' owners. And if you are old enough you will also remember, Stojan Vrankovic had guaranteed playing time, and they re-did his contract, or something to that extend.
Guaranteed time is pretty immature, if you ask me. D Wade is awesome but he is not the mentor Duncan is, also Spurs already have plenty European players, and they play more like a European team, its just a better situation all around.
Miami is still a young team, they are trying to build an iden y and still figuring things out. Too much uncertainty if you ask me. Nothing beats the spurs as it concerns the way they develop players.
