Kobe to join Josh Childress in Olympiacos?

October 14, 2008

I don’t know how serious this rumor is, but Italian website basketcentral.it announced today that the Greek powerhouse is collecting the money to make an offer to Kobe Bryant next summer.

According to the article, the super-rich Angelopoulos brothers are ready to put $60 million on the table to sign the LA Laker guard to a three-year deal. Additionally, Kobe would get a villa and a private jet for his personal use.

We’ll see during the next days, weeks or months what’s going on with this, but besides David Stern telling us “his” stars have just been joking around and the Euroleague probably not being that interested in clubs paying that much money when there are other problems, I’m not sure if there is any truth to this rumor and truthfully is really difficult to believe.

    pfffffffffffffffff…. not that they couldn’t, but how incredibly pointless that would be is quite beyond any comprehension.

    I can see them buying Stephon Marbury’s soul to carry their towels, though, that would be great motivation. They could call themselves the Pireaus Knicks, the team to make the least of the most money, ever!

    Now that would make a story, and Stephon would have to face Sofo if he didn’t behave. Is it a crime if a player eats another one?

    Actually we don’t need any hits 😉 We just reported what talkbasket.net wrote (as you can see reading the news). We don’t have any insider info and obviously we can’t know if the news is real…
