Gangsta D:
Does the NBA have a potential problem?
Josh Childress is basically a nobody in the grand scheme, but he's still a viable NBA player. If you can get more money in Europe and your game fits that style, why not make that move?
Waldini:
Wow, talking about the effects of the weak dollar. Agree about Childress' pecking order in the NBA but could you imagine if Josh Smith did the same thing b/c he couldn't get the $$$ he wanted???
Da Realist:
Wow. this could be...*could be*...a groundbreaking move. If the player's association can somehow use Europe as a bargaining chip against the NBA...
Obviously that would take a lot but the potential is there. globalization is rebranding the nba game to one that is more and more similar to euro-ball anyway.
No way this happens in the NFL. I think the nba has a nice following and certainly has a niche in the sports landscape but it will never be as important as it was between 15 and 25 years ago.
Gangsta D:
Expect an NBA team in Europe next season. You know Stern don't like cats trying to bogard him:)
Waldini:
Actually you they have seriously discussed putting 2 teams in europe....
Gangsta D:
As soon as an All-Star goes to play in Europe for more money, either 1.)Someone is getting assassinated or 2.)Stern is putting a team in Italy and Germany two weeks after the deal is signed.
Does the NBA have a potential problem?
But it would be an unprecedented move if Josh Childress, an American born and
raised California kid, spurns the Hawks in favor of a three-year $20 million
deal with the Greek club Olympiakos.
