Warren2ThaG Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Spurs after Greek centerSome NBA players are accepting bigger bucks to go play in Europe. Some European players are accepting the challenge of playing in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs appear to have one of the latter about to come onboard, according to Interbasket. The rumor is that San Antonio has offered a four-year deal to Greek 7', 280-pound center Ioannis Bourousis. Bourousis averaged 12.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in 22 games with Olympiakos Piraeus recently. He also was named MVP of the 2009 Greek All-Star Game.---http://www.interbasket.net/news/2009/06/06/greek-center-ioannis-bourousis-to-nba-spurs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headliner Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I don’t know anything about this player but if the spurs are offering him a 4 year deal and considering what a pro this team is at identifying international talent this has to be a good move because obviously the spurs are gunning for the NBA championship and I’m sure this would be a positive move if in fact it happens.

Dash Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh yeah, I remember him. Morey wanted him pretty bad but supposedly he wasn't coming to the league this year. He's pretty damn good and only 25 years old, he would be a steal for a 4 year deal imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreusito Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Lazaros Papadopoulos also got bought out today by Real Madrid. Just saying cos I think he'd fit in a NBA team, since he's slow but very big and has a decent sky hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 They must not want Duncan playing center that much. Maybe they'll start the Greek center and keep Duncan at the PF, with McDyess coming off the bench rather than starting. That could work.
