wtf?

Wow! I'm shocked...

I guess nowadays if you're a slightly above average player, overseas is the way to go.

isn't AP parker going also from the Raptors? i heard he was

[ihatetimthomas]

He wouldve gotten pennies compared to what he can get overseas. Seems like its becoming a trend now. Delfino is making bank too.

nope. He's under contract. There was a rumor. But nothing to it so far. Maybe it's after he's done his contract, which could lead to some tampering charges.

and I would strongly consider this deal from Josh Childress perspective, mostly because I don't want him to return to the hawks, or stay anywhere near the Eastern Conference. Him and his shot...

It's possible. The Greek team Olympiakos are offering him a 3 year 24 mill contract. Apparently they've got some major money to burn.

Sooner or later a star player will take a deal overseas and change the whole climate of professional basetballs.

I hope so. Then we wont be forced to watch what some people think is "fixed" or "highly influenced" basketball games. Gives people a option.

It might be time for the NBA to raise the salary cap drastically to prevent these guys from going overseas.

It's ridiculous how top Euro clubs are offering huge deals to NBA role players.

JC Navarro with a $20 mil/4 year deal
Delfino with a $11 mil/3 year
Parker offered $24 mil/3 year
Scola offered some huge deal and now Childress.

i may be in the minority but i like the fact american players are bouncing overseas. it just makes the game more universal, cuz a lot of us will be interested to see how he does, so we'll get to know more players, appreciate how much the game has grown, and also get an idea of how different leagues world wide compare to each other.

We also wont be forced to watch a league because its the only league with legit players.
