    Ha, true that.
    Any rumours about Zvezda and do you think it's true that they never made any offer to Teodosic?

      Well, I think that there was some talk between Covic and Teodosic, but the offer was nowhere near what Virtus offered, so it was no contest. I think it's a bad decision on pure basketball merit. In terms of lifestyle and carefree path to retirement, it might be perfect

      Zvezda is still looking for PG, since we have only Covic on the roster. What I have heard is that they are eyeing Naz Mitrou-Long as a potential starter there. It's a gamble on a prospect, the one that is also learning the position as well. There are also rumors that they might bring Stimac back, since it is a question mark when Kuzmic will be playing again. Anyway, good news regarding Kuzmic, the operations went fine, he is talking and communicating to the staff and wants to leave the hospital and go home It might end up that he was incredibly lucky and ends up playing this season...

          I don't know, I'm optimistic it will work out. Playing Eurocup his first year back might be better for him than the really gruelling Euroleague schedule.

          And that's really good news about Kuzmic.

            Pianiagiani was too weak to control him. If you don't keep a lead on him he will do whatever he likes. He needs to have his butt kicked once in a while to keep in him check. We managed this at Panathinaikos. Mainly because no player will try any shit with DPG. When he had an argument with Pedoulakis at training, he ended up putting his fist through a glass door injuring himself in the process. DPG fined him 200K euros because he put himself out of action for 2 months. He never tried anymore sh*t after that and came back the next year after his stint with the Suns.
            I don't understand the obsession that some PAO fans have for James. I'm not talking about you but I have noticed many people missing him, interactions in Twitter etc.
            He is a bad basketball player is almost everything except street-ball.
            His attitude is bad, his shooting is mediocre, his defense is mediocre, he is short.

            I have shared this many times in this forum but teams like PAO (and Oly) should measure their success in the EL not the Greek league and cup. Especially with the sick atmosphere around the finals between these two teams.

            James was just frustrating to watch and I was very glad he is gone. He didn't manage to do anything in Armani too other than boosting his personal value with his scoring average. They didn't even manage to make the Italian finals.

            • mike james is a very good player but needs to be the backup for a top tier guard like calathes. in armani he was the leader and we saw the results. its like shved. he has great numbers but his team fails. on the other hand on calathes side he still had good numbers,but not that great but the team was doing much better compared to what armani did last season

                Good news but we need a back up for Dunston, or a year full of headache infront of us...

                      Didn't you see how he raised us to finish 4th in RS on his return? Didn't you see in the P/O's he was our best player getting us close?

                        All I see is another embarrassing 1-3 loss, I’m sorry. Stats don’t mean much when I know how frustrating it was to watch him hog the ball.

                        Btw, the schedule the “boost” that he gave us for 4th place was against teams like Valencia, Khimki, Malaga, Zvezda etc? You’re kidding right?
                        As I said, he was “incredible” for Armani too and they lost 0-3 to Sassari in the Italian league semi-finals.

                        Anyway, we are off topic. I’ll stop here.

                        • I respect your opinion but disagree. We were failing to beat the teams (away from home) you named before he returned.

                          I don't think there is any embarrassment losing the the best team in 2017-2018. All the games we lost were marginal and playing against a side with triple our budget.

                            Ok I must admit the word “embarrassing” was to add emphasis. I don’t really believe it.

                              Seriously though, it seems Efes must hold on to Larkin at all costs (figuratively speaking)

                              well, we got Larkin back! wheew!

                              • Larkin is a very good news for Efes. They can compete for F4 again as long as they have Larkin & micic duo.

                                I am also happy that this time (I hope) we get the chance to face with Efes & Larkin when we had a healthy roster without injuries.
