I've said this before on this board and I'll say it again: I think this is a great move for Tyreke as he develops as a player.

I understand some guys have had bad experiences in Europe (JJ Hickson) and some have had ups and downs (Deron Williams) but I think some time in Europe will do Tyreke good as he will be forced to work on his jumper because of their style.

It is especially good for him when you consider the alternative is playing in these up and down, no defense street ball games across the country.

If the lockout continues I hope DeMarcus and our other young guys all sign deals over there.

I agree that it certainly could be good for him. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see him put up really poor stats. It'll be an interesting thing to watch. I just hope he doesn't get hurt and I haven't looked too in depth yet, but I know the story said it goes until the end of the lockout. I assume that means he would be here in plenty of time for training camp and everything, right?

Guess that was a short lived experiment!
