Greek Club Will Continue To Covet NBA Stars

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."
