Greek Club Will Continue To Covet NBA Stars

[RipCity32]

The owners of Olympiacos, the Greek club that signed Josh Childress over the summer, say they have only just begun poaching players from the NBA.

Panayiotis and George Angelopoulos are billionaires with the goal of making Olympiacos the best team in the world outside the NBA.

"Next season I will open up a small office for free agents in New York, and I will take petitions," said Panayiotis Angelopoulos.

Angelopoulos also listed players with whom he has negotiated in recent years: Chris Webber, Michael Finley, James Posey, Anthony Parker, Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Parker, Charlie Bell, Ricky Davis, Janerro Pargo, and Maurice Evans.

Asked how much he would pay a free agent, Angelopoulos said, "I will not tell you. I have already made my investigation into the free-agent market for next year. Even if Josh decides to go back, we’ll be ready."

This guy sounds like a supreme douche.

How is he a douche? He's trying to make his team better. This is basically the same thing as America recruiting high school kids from outside the country.

I agree with CC on this one. He has just as much right to offer a contract to a player then an NBA team does.

Yeah, we take their players too. Lol. At least he's not taking our best players like we do to them.

No... Not for what he is doing, for what he said in that article.

I said he sounds like a douche, not is a douche.
