Will Former Chess Player Sign with the Clippers?

Sofoklis Schortsanitis is a Greek professional basketball player the Los Angeles Clippers drafted way back in 2003.  The team offered him a contract in 2006, but Schortsanitis was still under contract with Olympiacos so, at the time, the deal was declined. 
However, new reports coming from the Greek press reveal that Schortsanitis has begun looking for a home in California, with possible sights on playing for the Clippers.
As you may recall, Greece polished off the USA team in 2006 on their way to a silver in the FIBA World Championships in Japan.
The 6'10" center was born to a Greek father and a Cameroonian mother, has a popular fan-site (in Greek) and goes by a couple different nicknames - Baby Shaq and Big Sofo.

According to a post at The Hoop, Schortsanitis is already headed to L.A., which could mean that discussions with Olympiacos had setbacks, leaving Sofo with an opportunity to give the NBA a shot. 
The Clippers select 8th in this years draft, and a surprise signing of the 25 year old would certainly have an impact on the team's selection process.
