Another NBA Player Heads To Europe
Linas Kleiza has left the Nuggets for a 2 year, $12 million deal in Greece. Obviously, the main reason he left was the 80% pay increase. But, this is the second offseason that that a player has left for greener pastures in Greece. Josh Childress did it last year. There was rumors that Greece might be interested in Nate Robinson. If these role players can't find a home in the NBA, Europe is looking like a more and more viable option. And I think it's something that NBA has to deal with-- and hasn't. I'm not entirely sure what they can do legally. But there should be some incentive to keep NBA players in the NBA. If we start to see marquee players shipping off to Europe, then there is a big problem.
