Wolves Offer Contract To Greek Center

From The Pioneer Press:
Pssst: With little chance left to sign 6-foot-8, 245-pound free agent Reggie Evans, the Timberwolves have offered 7-foot-1, 275-pound free agent Andreas Glyniadakis a contract. But Glyniadakis, who is from Greece, also has offers from Atlanta, Toronto and New Jersey.

Glyniadakis was selected by Detroit in the final pick of the 2003 draft and played in the NBDL last season.

The Albuquerque D-League coach was really excited to have the center on his team:
Glyniadakis' soft scoring touch and smart play prompted Thunderbirds coach Michael Cooper to make a trade with Roanoke earlier this month to acquire the big man.
"I was about to pee-pee in my pants when I found out he would be available," Cooper said. "Now we're glad to have the big Greek. Andreas is doing exactly what we need him to. He can hit the 15-, 16-foot jumper and is a big presence."
