i'm sure the NBA would love a Williams level deal but bringing Kostas up now does nothing to foster that. Kostas is a two way player. Venus was at one time number 1. Mark Cuban is probably hoping for a Greg Maddux-Mike Maddux deal.
I'm on record earlier in this thread being in Kostas' corner and will remain so unless he does something to embarrass UD. But the Greek Freak is a story. Kostas does nothing at this point to advance that story. I don't see anyone not invested already caring any more because Kostas is there.
Well... unless they post on here.

Having attended the Mav game last night, I can assure everyone that not one ticket extra was sold due to Kostas presence. Mainly because they are sold out, but also because his name was never highlighted or promoted. Sold out at $139 ave ticket. With parking and food, call it a couples night out for a cool $350. Kostas who?
Kostas' main competition right now is himself and Ray Spalding from Louisville. Which reminds me the following universities are listed on the Mavs roster in the game program:
Arkansas
Dayton
Florida
Louisville
Marquette
North Carolina
NC State
Northeastern
Stanford
Texas A&M
Valparaiso
Villanova
Wisconsin
That validates the notion that Kostas will be forever branded in the NBA with UD, and it had to have his concurrence.
