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."

Dwight Howard was huge against the defending Euroleague champion CSKA Moscow on Friday night, finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 steals in only 28 minutes of action to help the Magic to a 94-66 win, the Associated Press is reporting.

"The obvious difference in the game was Dwight Howard," Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I don't think they have anybody like him in the Euroleague. They didn't have a chance to stop him, and he really kept taking it at them."

"Dwight was overwhelming," said former Kansas center Sasha Kaun, who was saddled with guarding Howard most of the game. "I played against him in some high school all-star games five years ago and he has really developed some offensive skills. He is so strong and quick that it's really tough to stay with him."
