I understand the importance of Giannis -of course- but there are “ifs” like the one you mentioned, as well as no prior history of success. That’s why...

I think you guys overestimate the Greek team. We don’t have good athletes, we don’t have good shooters, we don’t have lockdown defenders. We have...

I wish I could know where I'm really from :p I think some family branch is from Italy but I wouldn't be surprised if there is Turkish blood mixed in...

I think that's the case for Giannis too. He didn't play before so he gets to join today. Btw, are there major examples of NBA assets that were...

He will have lived his best life and still be an amazing player. Maybe he'll come back to Real to chill. I really like how Luka approaches the game.

He is always out of shape and still one of the best hoopers in the world. I think that's his secret power :p

Well Giannis is the only thing we can look forward to. What else do we have? :p Although I agree with you about FIBA vs NBA, Giannis didn't do...

You act as if being compared to Sabonis isn't the biggest compliment for a big man :p

Also, I think that GSW pay crazy luxury tax because they are "repeat offenders". A team like GSW that is over the luxury tax threshold for the first...

I think some of it goes to teams that don't go over the threshold and some is used for "the league".

I don't know if you're trying to be cheeky with me but that's not why I'm saying this. Your statement is true for the most part. Especially about...

We have to let them play in the domestic league. I don't give a shit whether we win or not. The greek league has lost all of it's prestige. These...

I don’t agree that he’ll be out for the year. That would be the case if he has a tear, but from what I’m reading he’s feeling some discomfort which...

I have no idea either. Conspiracy theorists say that PAO owed money to Papapetrou and both sides agreed that he can leave without the buyout while he...

What kind of SF (with a smidge of PF) do you think PAO should go for? I have no idea who is available or what NBA dropouts are noteworthy.

Yeah, nowadays a PF without decent stretch capabilities is a liability. In some years shooting will also be expected from C's also I believe.

Gudaitis signed with Pao for one year according to Greek media. Although I don’t understand the value of one year contracts, I’m just too tired to...

So according to this: https://www.gazzetta.gr/basketball/euroleague/2134568/panathinaikos-apohorei-o-papapetroy-kai-me-apofasi-pedoylaki (just...

I guess there is some intra-Serbian discussion I don’t want to get involved in but I just want to say that I like Partizan and I hope they become big...

@Toruko: imo Anderson is a pretty “dumb” player. I would take Papapetrou over him so agree to disagree I guess.

What a strange turn of events. I thought that if Papapetrou was to leave it would be for a team that aimed to compete for a F4, to take the next step...

I mean he is not super wrong. I don’t know how to properly put it but Papapetrou seems like a guy that became a player through seer hard work. He has...

True. Fingers crossed. We have a major problem with finding quality greek players. If Papapetrou leaves we'll be in very big trouble.

It really depends on his salary but I tend to agree with Gators on this one. We have a decent backcourt and we can afford to take a gamble like this.

According to mainstream media (sport-fm.gr) yes. That’s good news, we finally have a decent PG. I know he is not Steve Nash but he is a decent...

Despite his rude rambling, saras is right about youth development in Greece. I think this is slowly changing but for many many years this has been...

Oh that would be a nice signing.
