Rockets trade for 50% Greek
Chronicle sports reporter Jonathan Feigen reports that the Rockets have traded for Memphis backup center Jake Tsakilidis:
The Rockets reached an agreement to acquire Grizzlies center Jake Tsakalidis on Tuesday, hours before their trade exception was to expire, sending little-used veteran forward Scott Padgett to Memphis to create a roster spot.
Tsakalidis, a 7-2, 260-pound center, played in 23 games this season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game.
Feigen's colleague Fran Blinebury previously pointed out that Tsakalidis is only Greek on his father's side, unlike Rockets point guard Vassilis Spanoulis, who is 100% Greek.
Maybe they can have a plate-breaking competition to determine which one is the Greekiest!
