Official NBA OFF-SEASON Thread - 2011: Free Agency Dec. 9th

[pmatic]

Kind of surprised D-Will didn't head to Russia given the Prokhorov connection.

But maybe this Turkish club offered more than any other club would.

I think I've seen a quote him say he would once his career starts to wind down.

No. 

And yeah, I'd think Kobe would go to Italy before China (based on his personal preference) , but if Nike gets involved then I can see him heading to China.

^I still can't believe Nike forced Coach K and the rest of the USA staff to take on Lebron on that 08 squad... would have been interesting to see the team without Lebron tho

DWill still has some hurtles he has to get over for this happen too that has been reported. Clearance from FIBA (I'm sure it will happen but he is still under contract (Techically) to an NBA team.


I think the Nets were made aware of this last week when King, Avery Johnson, and DWill went golfing. Also the insurance issue as well. if he has a career ending injury. Minor things but like I said before, good for him. Am not worried from a Nets fan perspective. He wants to play ball. PERIOD. Hope others will follow.

Players playing overseas is an excellent plan. The owners will fight this though.

They also went to LeBron and told him that he could very well be left off of this team if he didn't cut the ++%+, and he cut the ++%+

  Basically they Let their nuts hang on the entire situation.  The Power of the Swoosh

Dude has already gotten paid a lot of money, but I'm sure an insurance plan will cover any bases/injuries. I wonder how much they're gonna pay him ?
