The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?

According to SportingNews.com

SAN ANTONIO -- The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs acquired guard Vassilis Spanoulis from the Houston Rockets for center Jackie Butler and the draft rights to Luis Scola.

The Spurs will also get the Rockets' second-round pick in 2009, San Antonio said in a statement Thursday night.

Spanoulis, who averaged 2.7 points in 31 games as a rookie last year, has said he didn't want to return to the Rockets because he was homesick and wanted to remain in his native Greece.

Butler played in 11 games for the Spurs last year, averaging 3.7 points.

Scola averaged 15.5 points, 5.9 rebound and 2.2 assists for Tau Ceramica in the Euroleague this season.

i think that this is a good move for the spurs, i think it will help in developing there team even more in the long run as i believe that spanoulis will want to play for spurs and will be a very successful player...

i don't think that it was such a good move for Houston compared to what spurs are getting out of the deal....

therefore my thought on this is that it is good for spurs but bad for rockets in the long run as i think spanoulis will move to play with spurs as the NBA is the greatest league in the world and he will know that, and will want to gain success

Unless Spanoulis just pretend to be homesick then this signing is a big bust.

If Spanoulis decided to play, then WOW.
Just as a note: The Spurs haven't signed Spanoulis, he was already under contract, signed by the Rockets last year with another year left on his contract. They traded for his contract, giving up the rights to Luis Scola, who also doesn't want to play here, and Jackie Butler, who has a cool looking beard, but won't really be noticed as missing from the NBA champs. Butler will help as a backup in Houston, but is not a future star by any means, and he can probably be replaced by the second rounder the Spurs are getting next year.

My guess is the Spurs will let Spanoulis out of his contract for future considerations from some European team, such as a lower buyout price for one of the other players in Europe that haven't come over here yet. Possibly Robertas Javtokas, who was playing for a Greek team, Panathinaikos, last I heard.
BEING GREEK MYSELF I CAN TELL YOU THIS...IF SPANOULIS REALLY WANTED TO STAY IN GREECE,THEN THE SPURS MADE A BIG MISTAKE FOR SIGNING HIM.

HE WILL NOT BE PRODUCTIVE,HE WILL PLAY JUST TO PICK UP HIS CHECK.HE WILL BECOME HOMESICK VERY FAST AND WILL BE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.......BIG MISTAKE...BIG
butler didn't contribute much to the spurs campaign last season so i think it's a good move. spanoulis is a good player a good back-up for bruce bowen since there are no legitimate small forwards aside from bowen.
