To be fair, we traded Robinson for cap space. Getting Papa would just be gravy.

Well in that case we should have traded him to an Eastern team with cap space as TRob hurt us bad in the playoffs.

First Morey breaks up Parsons and Lin now Dorsey and Papanik too :-?

If you're working out a budget for the rest of the month starting from $8.50, $0.50 matters.

Well from what ive read on the Greek media Pap asked more salary just to pay his buy out, and Morrey refused. The price will drop next season tho, so maybe you can get him, but i see more possible a trade than this.

Yes he is coming over... but that quite a lot maybe Morey went and missed on a couple of the remaining FA's?
Anyone feel bad Morey is taking all of Barcelona's players?

wow that's a lot for an overage rookie
i guess morey is out of option
because there is news out saying charlie villanueva was almost a rocket until morey pull out the deal at the last minute
i guess he got word pap is going to come over
half of that 4.8m is going to use to buyout his european contract
if he's not worth it
he's going bye bye next year

hey d-mo
i think he can eat lunch with lin in l a
no
we are not trading you to l a
we are sending you to d league and you can fly to l a and eat with lin in your free time

Would you rather have Parsons or Ariza, Gee and Papanikolaou?

Hopefully he'll be better than D Mo

Wait, wait, wait....Papa's coming over this year?!?!?

It's a low risk high reward move IMO, 2nd year is team option. Hard to find good big prospects who can jump right in and fight for a rotation spot. I don't think we could expect much better. Certainly better than Charlie Villanueva.

He's a small forward while Charlie V is a power forward.

It's pretty much guaranteed Morey signed him with eyes of Kostas seeing time at both the 3 and 4. Ariza is going to be play like 36-38 mins a game.

Villanueva might technically play the 4 but he rebounds like a 3 and defends like a 0. He's a chucker who no longer can chuck. He's terrible.

Well I agree that Vill is terrible and am glad Morey didn't sign him but I don't know if Paps can play PF here. We'll see I guess. He's not a great rebounder either. TJones and D-Mo need to get their minutes, not to mention Adrien and Dorsey.

The question is will Morey send him to the D-League as Parsons is the only Rocket rookie to never play for the Vipers.

Congrats for Kostas, now i am rooting for you to, after Bucks, and i hope to have better luck than with Spanoulis.

Today our NT is playing a friendly game against France at 20.00 +2GMT.

You can watch the game on the below link, but you have to change your DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 (google dns). If you dont know how just ask me to post some screen shots that ive already did for the Bucks forum

If you dont want to do that i am sure that you can find some streams if you search them.

I hope he can contribute right away. He seems like one of those guys that will quickly become a fan favorite.
