Jason Kapono is close to finalizing a free agent contract with Panathinaikos.
Kapono, 31, was waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers last season after being acquired in a trade that sent Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga to the Lakers.
Panathinaikos has expressed interest in signing Anthony Tolliver for the upcoming season, Tolliver’s agent, Larry Fox, confirmed Sunday.
"Panathinaikos has definitely expressed strong interest and their coaching staff loves Anthony (Tolliver)," Fox said. "While Anthony is flattered by their interest and the potential economics behind it, we are currently in discussions with several NBA teams. While we won't rule out Greece, the interest level from the NBA remains strong and we are continuing to pursue those options."
Tolliver, a 6-foot-8, 240 pound forward, is a four-year NBA veteran who averaged 4.1 points on 39 percent shooting last season for the Timberwolves.
Verdell Jones has signed a contract to play professionally for Peristeri, a team located in Athens, Greece.
"It's a great feeling," said Jones. "First of all just to be back on the floor playing again means a lot to me. And then to be able to play professionally on the top level is even better."
Jones, who is still recovering from a torn ACL, received interest from several European teams.
"We had a couple other teams in Switzerland and Holland and places like that that were interested but this team contacted my agent and were very interested," said Jones. "They are one of the top teams in Europe so we felt it was a great opportunity."
