PAO just seems to tweak, not change things drastically. Considering that Pekovic should give them some force under the boards and that there's so many talented players there, I see no reason for any more big moves on their behalf. I think the prospect of a refined pao with all the important pieces still there and some added power should actually scare every other team into making these big moves. Just look at the money OLY is spending to win something at long last in greece.. don't worry, PAO will be there .

Anyway we will see. The only thing that is sure is that Angelopoulos brothers had realize that if they want to bring the team in the top they have to spend enormous money in order to manage it. (Like CSKA did some years ago). You may be right, I also believe that this is a lot of money for only a player, but this is what the Greek internet sites and newspaper wrote. Anyway we will see.

I don't believe this figure, oly already is a too expensive team with too many players to give one guy so much money, especially when you consider that navarro gets 10 mill for 5 years or so. So you probably got something wrong there or I'd have to quote some popular movie and say "This is madness!" 5mill EURO seems just wrong for a year in the euroleague, maybe over two years or even three?

The player now as per some rumors spoke to Israeli journalists that told that he will be playing to Olympiakos next year by 99% .The only problem is Toronto Raptors and the last year of his contract. It is very possible Angelopoulos brothers to pay Toronto in order to set the player free. Also Papaloukas is already a player of the team as only a few details are missing in order to complete the transfer (as you may not know Papaloukas is a fun o Olympiakos team since he was a child). For last Angelopoulos brothers won’t complete their job even if they manage to sign Antony Parker as they still searching the market for every really good player. After all money is not a problem.

And I read an interview with A. Parker stating that he has a great offer from Oly and would "love to play (again) with Vujcic and Papaloukas" but he still has another year on his contract....what about that, oly deep enough with him to compete with barca then? papa, vujcic, halperin..how much more money should they spend, it's starting to get ridiculous this year in the top euroleague teams. Maybe it is time to reconsider branding the NBA champ the "world-champ", as these euro teams might really be too competitive to just brush over and noone seems bothered by a salary cap here as this offseason shows.
