Kostas Papanikolaou very likely to sign with Houston this summer?

Kostas Papanikolaou could leave FC Barcelona this summer and sign in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, according to Jonathan Givony.

 

I'm told Barcelona is preparing for the fact that Kostas Papanikolaou seems very likely to sign with Houston this summer.

Papanikolaou was acquired last summer by FC Barcelona from Olympiacos where he was back-to-back Euroleague champion. Papanikolaou may be replaced by Dario Saric in the Spanish powerhouse, Givony tweets.

 

Barcelona's GM Joan Creus was at the Cibona game I attended Monday, which is fueling speculation they will be going after Saric this summer.
