    Isn't that the same team that has Josh Childress as well? They are loading up on former NBA talent.

    Yeah it's the same squad. They just signed Linas Kleiza today too. I guess Von Wafer will replace Jannero Pargo who returned to play in the US for the Bulls.

    That's what I thought. I wonder if those guys are ever going to throw a huge wad of cash at an actual superstar in the NBA. They've been pursuing good role players but nothing else right now. Isn't their owner filthy rich too? I imagine they have the money to pursue a big name guy.

    There were those LeBron & Kobe rumors awhile back. I think they were offering $30M or $35M per season, TAX FREE, plus all expenses paid (housing, transportation, and food.) The season is only half as long too in Europe.

    I can see a player being tempted to try it out for a season or two.
