Damn. So basically Europe is offering players loaded contracts that they can't refuse and the NBA can't do anything about it. Stern is really pondering this one over.
Reportedly $15 million for two years.
This is going to be epic.

Not a huge deal. If Yao is healthy and he should be, the Rockets would be fine at PF. They have Scola and James.
are you serious?Reportedly $15 million for two years.

Exactly what is happening. Teams are either restricted by the cap (can only offer MLE) or teams are having trouble dealing with their RFA.
Let someone overspend.Signing a player waaaay over his value hurts in the long run.
he wanted to globalize the NBA didnt he? well then there you go
Two points:
1. LMAO at all the Euro teams spending a fortune for middle of the road NBA talent
2. LMAO at all the Rockettes fans talking when Tiago spurned us to stay with Tau.
I bet some of these players bolt back to the nba after 1/3 of their deal
their refs their suck
No one gives a about refs when you're getting paid like a mofo for playing a shorter season than the NBA season.
That, and if they come back before being gone for two years, they get taxed on it by the IRS.
these doods are getting good money to play in less than 1/2 the games of the NBA. i want a contract in europe now. less work, more pay and certain living expense paid for...what a deal.
they will get homesick
do the teams even speak english?
money can not buy everyone
sure it is nice to have and money is a big factor but money does not buy one's happiness
look at all the nba players getting in trouble with the law
they are not happy
yeah they will have money to send their friends to vis
but their friends will only be able to come once a year
And what if Landry stays in the NBA?
He's borderline brain dead.
In such big clubs as these most all players and coaches will be able speak in English. Is part of basketball systems. I know Spanoulis and Zisis and they have learn 3 languages in sports club school as part of be develop as player. English language is one they must choose.
with bad knee he needs to ran for the money
amare would be smart to bolt to euro now to
Anyway, stuff like this is in David Stern's wheelhouse. Maybe he can't figure out how to clean up the referee mess, but I guaran-damn-tee the league office is burning midnight oil figuring out how to prevent this from becoming a problem.
I went overseas for 12 days
nothing like getting back on american soil
Do you really think Landry cares if money can buy everyone when he's cashing the check they want to give him?
They aren't getting into trouble because they're sad, they're getting into trouble because they're ing bored.
Somehow I doubt you were getting paid $15 million bones to be over there...
have you ever been over seas
America has really been blessed
