    Interesting article, but I have to nitpick one possibly major point: how are potential changes in the CBA going to affect this dynamic? This strikes me as a major concern. Instead of top players flowing *to* the NBA, could we begin to see a talent drain going the other way?

    One other note.....while he lists a number of potentially key players stashed over-seas, not one member of the KP foreign legion makes the list. Oops. :sigh:

    given SI's record on predictions, is that really a bad thing?

    :lol: Not really.

    I was more interested in the first point - will the new CBA slow/stop the flow of talent from overseas. The second point was just an after-thought. :cheers:
