Sources close to the 24-year-old who failed to receive meaningful playing time as a rookie with the Houston Rockets, have told PA SportsTicker that Spanoulis wants to be in Athens again for personal and family reasons. </div> http://www.sbrforum.com/Headlines/NBA/43802.aspx I thought Vspan's speed and fast pace mentality would have meshed perfectly with Adelman. That is, if Adelman can try to get his TOs down. I believe he would have had a great 2nd year.

What will happen if opposing teams just let him shoot all day?
Please don't leave V-Span! I actually think he'd be an idiot if he left now because now is the perfect opportunity for him to prove himself under Adelman, who's a lot more intent on developing young talent.
Quitter, so much for the guy with fighting heart wanting to prove himself against the best. This kid just want to look good in front of his family not a kid with heart wanting to improve.
The guy's ego is too large. He shoots off to the media as a rookie for not playing, then when the perfect opportunity comes along with a new coach, he's thinking of going back to Greece? If he doesn't have the attitude to fight it out then let him go.

Yao was a turnover machine his rookie year remember? The guy wants to play and is uncertain about his role next year. I really hope he sticks around.

Havent you been watching this series against Utah? I've only seen him attack the basket on a couple of occasions, he's quite a capable jump shooter.
What a wus. He has a great chance to prove himself in front of the NBA. We also have a new coach who is likely to give him minutes. He has a great opportunity here in the NBA to shine. He'd be retarted to go back.

His high field goal % is due to the fact that he leads the league in points in the paint by a guard. Hell in 05 he led the entire league in points in the paint. 06 looks very similiar. Top 10 players with the most points in the paint: Player Team Points in the paint Tony Parker San Antonio 514 Shawn Marion Phoenix 496 Tim Duncan San Antonio 490 Dwyane Wade Miami 486 LeBron James Cleveland 480 Carmelo Anthony Denver 480 Allen Iverson Philadelphia/Denver 468 Pau Gasol Memphis 454 Dwight Howard Orlando 398 Elton Brand L.A.

In his eyes it makes more sense to go back, put yourself in his shoes it's obiously not about the $ seeing as to how he'll make more here but I think he really just feels more comfortable in his home country. Hopefully Adelman can asure him some steady PT and he'll stay.
