Vassilis Spanoulis About To Become Highest Paid Player In Europe's History

[Indazone]

Nobody cares. When he comes to the NBA which it now looks like he never will, he deserves all the crap he gets dished on him on this board. He has to prove himself in the NBA rather than be remembered as the guy who left the NBA with his tail between his legs. I"m sure he can play in the NBA but he didn't have the staying power to prove otherwise. Couldn't he suck it up for a few seasons like Delfino or Nocioni? C'mon

Spanoulis turned down PAO offer of 3 million euros net in a season because it is not enough. Even though is tie with Navarro for highest salary for any European player next season it is less than Childress gets who makes 4.5.

Spanoulis is offered 4.5 million euros net in a season by Olympiacos same as Childress gets so he has now refuse offer of PAO.............

I guess this mean he is leave my team PAO.

So despite this:

Agent of Vassilis Spanoulis announced that he has several offers from NBA teams and he will probably return to NBA next season. This is what Spanoulis wants and he has made his decision.

Only other option besides NBA is to sign with Real Madrid because they have offered to make him the highest paid player in the Spanish League.

Spanoulis will either become the third highest paid player in Europe with Real Madrid or he will return to the NBA. Returning to the NBA is his first priority as his agent says he told him he wants to prove he can play there and shut up all the fans in America that talk bad about him.

And this:

From what I know he has offers from

1. Real Madrid (is like 3 year $27 million NBA contract)

2. FC Barcelona

3. Caja Laboral Baskonia

4. Unicaja Malaga

5. New York Knicks

6. Golden State Warriors

7. Toronto Raptors

8. Portland Trail Blazers

9. Detroit Pistons

10. Miami Heat

11. Los Angeles Lakers

12. New Jersey Nets

13. Cleveland Cavaliers

14. Los Angeles Clippers

15. Memphis Grizzlies

16. Houston Rockets



He has also Olympiacos wants him but he wants to leave Greece and say he wants only to play in NBA or Spain.

His agent says he has only two possible things for next year. He will be either in NBA which is his first desire or he will be in Real Madrid which is only European team he is interested in.

He'll be playing in Greece next year, after all.

I'm shocked. You're usually such a reliable source of information.

Real Madrid is only offer right now 3.2 million euros per season. Olympiacos offer is 4.5 per season. So things have changed.

NBA from what I know is only making the offer of 3 years $19 million to him so far. Olympiacos offer = 3 years $43.5 million in NBA money.
