rumor is they will offer him an $83 mil contract next year, tax free, all expenses paid and:
In that contract there will be an incredible list of benefits, a villa in the Mediterranean Sea, pay all the taxes at the expense of the club, to pay the bills for the staff and for a private boat for Kobe Bryant. The article also says that they are planning to form Olympiakos into an NBA style club with a court that fits 15-20 thousand seats and a private jet for the team.
I am Greek and I support Olympiakos in Greece but basketball just isn't as big as soccer. Basketball is popular but there is no way they can pull in 15,000-20,000 per game. Still, I admire their efforts and I wouldn't count them out. The owners there have that Bill Gates dough and aren't afraid to throw it around.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
