OT - Maybe the Olympiakos rumors can stop

It seems almost any free agent is said to be a target of Olympiakos. I'm sure it is just agents dropping the name to try to get movement in negotiations, but there is still a limit on the number of roster spots spent on US players. As I'm certain that Josh Childress is still considered a US player and now they've signed Von Wafer that should hit the limit. Meaning that Nate Robinson and Allen Iverson have less possible rumored destinations. The Kleiza signing doesn't count toward the US player count as he is Lithuanian.

If there wasn't a limit, I think Olympiakos would have more NBA-caliber players than Memphis.

They'd have a better record than the Kings if they played in the NBA lol. Now, how in the world they offer Kleiza 12.2 M over 2 seasons, i mean, that's absurd for a bench player. Wait a minute, they offered another bench player(better one though), named J. Chill even more than that... guess they didn't learn their lesson well.

No hate on Olympiakos. My hate was for all the articles taking about how they are about to sign "Insert Free Agent Here".
