Where did you see this last part?
My eye caught it somewhere. The reasoning is for Nun to make as much money money as possible taking into account the higher tax rate in the U.S.

Even though he said he enjoys to be in Greece I have a feeling he will refuse to seek NBA contract and he will make huge mistake. I don't think he has a place anymore in the NBA at his age, the way he plays and especially with the role he wants.
Your wording is confusing and contradictory(?). Like, you write that he will refuse to find an NBA contract and that will be a mistake but then you say that he doesn't have a place in the NBA anymore. Did you mean to write something else?
If he wants to find another team in the NBA I'm sure PAO will give him a cut off date. Couple names already swirling in the wind for PAO in Larkin and Micic.
You think Panathinaikos would do that? We are talking about very likely main player for the next season. Maybe if the date is 10th July...but no way tilk 8th month. I don't recall any serious EL team waiting so much with the Americans to decide about NBA. Singleton had similar case but the situation back then and now is way different.
Olympiakos waited for the last possible minute for Dorsey and signed him. It was a success. PAO waited a very long time for Mykhailiuk. We were very patient with him. After he signed with Boston we went for Kendrick Nunn. Thankfully Oly was desparate because of the poor start and in a state of panic signed Brazdeikis who has been a major flop. PAO failed in many signing expeditions in Punter, Veselj (Barca rejected the 1 million buy out we offered), Shengelia (Virtus wanted money to release him to PAO after they found out we were offering buy outs), we asked RM about Hezonja with Madrid replying WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING, Mirotic rejected a 6 million over 2 years contract because he didnt want to suffer the toxicity of PAO-OLY, Willy Hernangomez rejected PAO's offer for Barca so in a desperate state we signed Balcerowski hoping it would work.
We had money to spend but either players or clubs were rejecting us. Sloukas was the first major coup. Once talks broke down with Oly, DPG went all in offering Costas the biggest contract of his career. Ataman and DPG knew that Sloukas would draw other good players. With Sloukas the new PAO team had a shot for the play ins. With Nun we have a shot for the F4. That's the differance they make. Grigonis was expecting to be tapped on the shoulder to find a new team but he said to PAO he wants to start training early before the pre-season. PAO appointed him a coach and he started his personal preseason 25 days before the actual beginning of PAO's pre-season!!! That's how badly he wanted to prove he belonged to the team. It helped that Ataman once said in an interview many years ago that Grigonis is a player he likes.
I know, but this is different situation. This team won't have a lot of changes. Maybe Hezonja, definitely new center and then Nunn. He is literally the main player. I don't think Panathinaikos will allow themselves to wait till end of the summer to see him going somewhere in the NBA. What to do then? All good players have clubs already then. I don't see Panathinaikos being very flexible but we will see. Last summer we had to wait because we didn't have anyone and we were making team from the bottom.
How is my part confusing lol
PANATHINAIKOS should get hezonja, micic or another top combo guard and tavares or another good center. Theiss is also good. Even poirier is good and will help where we have problem (rim protection).
Sloukas-grant
Micic-nunn
Cyclist-hezonja-Papapetrou
Juancho-Mitoglou (still consider juancho a great player much better than mitoglou. Maybe if vezenkov comes back things change here)
Lessort-Poirier-Antetokunbo (both lessort and poirier are better than tavares this season)
Giannakopoulos said the roster will be better than 2009 and the budget will be the number 1 in the league next season. The initial plan was 100m for 3 years after ataman was announced
Why is Micic mentioned as a possible signing? I thought there was no chance he was coming back within his three years contract period. (I know we thought the same for a few others).

I know it's not EL but Kevin Porter Jr. signed for PAOK looooooool
i am very curious to see that. I think his NBA career is done. He might be available for the EL teams next season or he goes to China. He is crackhead but also capable to average HUGE numbers in the EL if he actually cares.
