OLYMPIACOS?! WTF!?!?

start of a trend?

[IranSoccer#8]

haha when olympiacos lose to pana...he better look out. he has no idea what he is getting himself into with european basketball.

[Demis-11]

yes yes its true , and i hope he knows how the atmosphere is like down in greece lol

He has the option to return to the NBA after every season. A lot of teams will have cap space to sign free agents next season, so I think that was his aim. Get paid big in Greece for a year and then come back next season when teams have money to spend.

I saw him at a bar in San Jose last summer. He was a big time college player at Stanford.

I believe Olympiacos is also gonna pay for the tax deducted from his annual income...some guys cant catch a break

The trend has already happened. This is a new reality, NBA players that have signed for European teams this off-season:

Bostjan Nachbar
Carlos Delfino
Juan Carlos Navarro

and now Josh Childress.

Dont foret that HUGE LA talent Brandon Jennings also has decided to play in Europe for 1 year then come to the NBA instead of going to college.

Navarro Wasn't Getting Too Many 1st Team Opp.
So I Don't Blame Him For Re-signing With Barca.

This Move Is Quiet Shocking Though =S

Delfino is gone??? NOOO!!!

[KasraKhan]

Navarro Wasn't Getting Too Many 1st Team Opp.

Ya he did. He even was starting ahead of Conley and Lowry for a stretch of the season.

He got good minutes, 10 ppg, avereaged just under 26 minutes per game

[Demis-11]

rumours are in that dynamo moscow have expressed interest in delonte west, although not pinned not as likely as the childress situation, but apparently the money is good...i hope it goes through lol

[Demis-11]

just to resurrect this...here are 2 pics of the childress showcase
