The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to release center George Papagiannis, clearing the way for him to sign a three-year deal with Panathinaikos in Athens, Greece according to a report published by Eurohoops.net. Author Kostas Giataganas cites site sources claiming the 21-year old center, himself from Greece, is not long for the NBA.
Giataganas claims the Euro club has planned for the move:
Panathinaikos have already included Papagiannis in the club’s long-term plans and are ready to add him with a three-year contract.
The move isn’t expected to take long.
