Flight Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Huh. Olympiacos must be buying a championship over there, with Wafer, Kleiza, and still Childress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bomba Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah but teams in Greece and Russia pay three times a players salary should be worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreusito Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 That's true, but in the NBA almost all teams have at least 1 really bad contract, so you can't blame em for that.
