<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dynamo Moscow has reached an agreement with Jannero Pargo according to russian media (championat.ru). The amount of the contract is rumored to be around 3.5 million dollars for the NBA star. Previous articles by american newspapers mentioned a potential offer from Dynamo to Pargo. This might actually be true and this will be another expensive transfer for Dynamo Moscow after Bostjan Nachbar, Darjus Lavrinovic and Hollis Price. In the 6 years he spent in the NBA, Jannero Pargo played for the LA, Chicago and Toronto. He averaged 8.1 points 1.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 80 games last season in the NBA.

How much was he getting paid in the NBA? To me that is not enough money to leave the L. I guess for an an average player they have the chance to become a superstar ofverseas. All this will change if Kobe and Lebron leave for Europe when their contracts are up.
You also have to consider the added playing time that comes with playing in Europe for these guys. Pargo will be the star on his team and obviously because of that, will get the most PT.
