For Rocket Fans Papaloukas Wants To Play In NBA

[TheProfessor]

What? Papaloukas never play in NBA. This summer he was offer MLE by Raptors and Pistons (when is able for them to offer him contract) but he get much more money from Olympiacos.

People kind of go on autopilot when they see you're posting

Papaloukas is better off earning, as you say, more money in Greece; I don't know if he could keep up athletically at his position here. I was wondering what you think of Papaloukas' potential to play in the NBA versus Siskauskas at this time.

Is sad that NBA cannot afford pay such player what he wants so he never get chance to play in NBA. Anyway we have him now back in Greece and once again we keep make Greek league stronger.

WTF?!?!?!?! Are you stupid or what?!? HE HAS A CHANCE TO GO TO THE NBA BUT HE'S GOING TO OLYMPIACOS TO GET MORE MONEY!!!!

Well Papaloukas today is let out of contract from CSKA Moscow and he sign with Olympiacos. This because no NBA team is willing offer as much as Olympiacos do. He will make what is equal $7 million US tax free per year.

Who the cares?

Actually I want to see the Euroleage get really strong and bring some semblence of humility to David Stern and his game fixing ways. For that to happen, since the Euro is now at 1.55 to one dollar, and I know there are plenty of football revenues with these clubs, why don't the owners just pony up the money and go after some high draft picks coming out of US colleges? C'mon all the American Rookies can make is 2 million a year. If the Euroleague offers them 4 million a year wouldn't they make the jump to the Euroleague? Imagine OJ Mayo telling the NBA to screw off and going to play for Treviso Benneton
