    More money and playing time, Now that would really be an easy decision. :D Who is next to join Wafer and Kleiza in Europe?

    eventually NBA teams will play Euro teams in Big Tournaments like in UEFA Champions league. I hope that's the case at least.

    Why not making some Euro teams members of the NBA? It would a logistical nightmare with the distance from the US and Europe but it would be a start in having a WORLD WIDE LEAGUE. A super league that would really crown the World Champion.

    I think that the NBA Champion should play the eurobasket champion in something like a supercup match. It could be held during the nba preseason or something like trading off between here and in europe every other year. It would be interesting.

    A NBA champion team would destroy any other team in the world from another league.

    Olympiakos should be set next year. Kleiza, Wafer, and Childress isn't bad at all by Euro standards.

    Because they can not lure the stars of the NBA.

    They are all rotation NBAers. I am a fan of what Kleiza could do as a rotationator with Yao on the court. That said, I suspect only Childress is 'underpaid' at Oly. The other two got premier deals IMHO.
