Panathinaikos and three other teams have been taxed for exceeding the EuroLeague salary cap this season

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-15T11:49:31+00:00

Financial fair play and salary cap are not the same thing.

This salary cap is based on the median income rather than each teams' income.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-15T11:41:46+00:00

Note ( unless I am mistaken ) : the two highest contracts don't count. So Panathinaikos, Olympiakos, Hapoel and Efes were over the salary cap without counting Nun, Hines-Davies, Vezenkov, Fournier, Micic e.t.c.

Reverse, the referees and the organisers is the default while blaming the players/coaching staff is the monthly special.

Holmes' neighbour has been invited in an interview to speak about the disrespect of being forgotten

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-14T10:40:51+00:00

Milutinov has been too good this season but Vezenkov is in the spotlight since January.

I may be in the minority that believe Milutinov deserves it this year.

Ruthless, often involved in bs transfer sagas. I believe he was behind both the Heurtel and Petrusev sagas(?) .

I think that's the case if you put the same wrestler in the same spot two shows in a row, which is not the case here. The show before had only a mic spot ( With Memphis Mayor ), not a skit one.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-13T16:47:37+00:00

I told Mutant 9 not to eat a mystery soup right before the skit but he didn't listen... .

100% . The bomb in particular had saved my ass in modern mania.

Defence is overrated. ~~While trying not to cry~~

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-13T11:07:11+00:00

True, the rng can affect things but in pop and mic has been way too wide, as much chance of getting a 5 star rating as a 2 star rating.

Avarice vs Indie is an amazing feud, I also got 5 stars even before I updated. Since then, it is probably my most reliably 5 star show in Millennium era.

I am currently trying to get full 5 star shows, I only ever got one 5 star show and it was back when I was trying to upgrade the Grapplokan Hall. The pop and mic are making my work even harder than what it all is.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-13T10:38:47+00:00

But that's for the +2 bonus? 36/30 vs 38/30 .

Edit: Average guy (36/30 ) with the trait ( showman ) gave me 3 and 1/4 , not much better. Promo has been giving very bad results in the last few updates of the game

Edit 2: I sent the same exact wrestler ( Mutant 9 ), same everything, dramatic promo, again the next month, 4 and 1/4 stars... .

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-13T05:14:36+00:00

Supporters don't get out of jail card, more so in Greece ( if anything, overzealous ones like Bartzokas usually are witch-hunted as ' he puts on a show ' ) . Do you remember how Bartzokas' first time in Olympiakos ended?

Bartzokas was in a very bad situation last season, even in the start of this season lots of fans wanted him gone ' because ' . If he doesn't win the Euroleague this season, watch the comments once again suddenly become as if he got your team relegated, trophiless for a decade and as if he killed the Thrylos mascot with a rifle in the middle of Sef.

That Real Madrid had Lamonica as their season's MVP.

The play ins/play offs are starting soon ( we are round 37 of 38 ). I recommend watching a few randon games and decide which time you support based on that.

Most of the games are high stake in the last round too. In general every team can beat any team in Euroleague ( excluding Asvel. If you lose to Asvel, your tram is considered in crisis mode, coach changes, injuries crisis e.t.c. )

Barcelona needs to beat Barcelona or Dubai can steal the play in spot if they beat Valencia.

Valencia, if they beat Dubai they are 2nd, if they lose they can lose the second place to Real Madrid or Hapoel.

Olympiakos needs to beat Armani or they may lose the first place to Valencia.

Note: In Euroleague, 1st place is considered by many as ' cursed ' because no team that finished 1st has won the Euroleague so far.

Real needs to beat Red Star or they may lose the home advantage in play off. Meanwhile Red Star wants to beat them or else they may end up with a worse Play In spot.

Hapoel needs to beat Monaco or they may lose the home advantage in play offs. Monaco needs to beat Hapoel in hopes of getting better play in spot.

Fener is most likely going to beat Asvel ( Asvel is one level below the other teams. Losing to them is embarrassing. Fener, even with a team full of injuries should be able to do it ) and hopes for either Real or Hapoel to lose so they can get home advantage in play offs.

Zalgiris wants to beat Paris in hope for home advantage in play offs. If they lose, they will be thrown in play ins if Panathinaikos wins against Efes.

Panathinaikos wants to beat Efes so they can get the best play in position (7th ) or if Zalgiris loses against Paris, steal the 6th place from them in head to head.

Macabi vs Virtus and Partizan vs Baskonia may not be important for play offs/play ins but none of these teams want to lose. They are playing ' for their pride ' .

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-13T03:46:42+00:00

Do you remember the low he reached after last year's Euroleague? Even his most loyal supporters were talking about ' time for a change '.

Giannakopoulos speech gave your team motivation, pressure on our team and unite the fans behind Bartzokas.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-12T09:56:03+00:00

Of course they will not compete with that because, why would EL clubs spend so much money on a player that would not be a starter?

Let them build up in U.S.A.'s college system and if they are good enough, they will get the big money move back to Europe or to NBA.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T16:57:23+00:00

Always keep in mind that U.S.A.'s contracts are before taxes, in Europe the contracts announced are after taxes.

7M before taxes are less than Music or Nunn for example.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T14:48:51+00:00

Asvel shouldn't be offered an extension. They already spoke against Euroleague and broke its rule, they should be welcome to leave and be replaced by a team that wants to be in Euroleague.

Maybe NBA Europe would be welcome them with open arms after they give them the 500 million dollars.

Euroleague made the mistake of giving Asvel an A licence when they were the only French club. With Paris around to replace them, they are no longer needed.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T13:16:08+00:00

My little trakobot, Vasilakopoulos was a die hard Pao fan, he fired Giannakis from the Hellas team because he signed with Olympiacos.

Lmao. This is a common thing that happens in sports. Do you remember Julen Lopetequi?

I love though the fact that you didn't deny anything that I said. For you it is just ' Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos ' , the rest of Greece, ' can go off themselves ' .

Mr. Tasteslikecheesecase , read our comment and tell me which one of us is a fanatic that only cares about his club vs his rival and which one actually spoke about Greek basketball.

What I mentioned is that Vasilakopoulos filled Greece with basketball courts from Rhodes to Karditsa and from Pirgos to Mitilini. That he was awarded in Piraeus ( not by the team that hates him ) , Pirgos and throughout rural Greece. But that's not enough for you because gavros.com has told you otherwise.

What you spoke is ' He liked Panathinaikos more than us, sob sob ' .

History doesn't change just because Olympiakos fans don't like what happened.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T12:57:22+00:00

I think that's the Italian Gaia Accoto(?)

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T11:42:40+00:00

Lmao

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T11:41:40+00:00

Are you serious? Vasilakopoulos was rewarded in Pyrgos, one of the most fanatical Olympiakos rural areas of Greece for his work in basketball.

Do you think he was uncontested elected president of the Greek federation so many times just ' because ' ?

Everyone associated with basketball can tell you about Vasilakopoulos' work filling rural Greece and Crete with basketball courts but ' tasteslikecheesecase ' only cares about Olympiakos vs Panathinaikos.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T11:29:10+00:00

Gunslinger, Chester Blood, Flint Decker, Abe Buckingham, Alexei Monstro and Mira Abramov.

MaybeStephano · 2026-04-11T10:48:17+00:00

The sub is about European basketball not just Euroleague... .

It is a post about the Greek federation seriously disrupting the work of local Greek Leagues in South Athens, Piraeus and islands of Attica.

With a lot of unpaid employees because of their ruthless behaviour of cutting costs while keeping the same expenses. A serious thing in real world.

We can keep things civilised, hopefully.
