Pargo Going Overseas (Signs with Moscow Dynamo)

whats really effed is that I heard the Spurs were under the impression he was going to take their deal, they had offered him a 2 year I believe...

Much like the fascination with the European player, we'll see a trend of players going overseas but it will soon fade. Remember it used to be a time where the women could only play overseas and they all were ecstatic when the WNBA was formed. They wanted to be home & wanted to play in front of their family & friends. I went to school with guys who played overseas & many were happy to come home. They all made good money, nothing like what Childress & Pargo are getting but even still after awhile they were tired of being away from home.

Unfortuantly for me, I doubt I'll ever see the British basketball league ever take off, the cost of living here is so high, and right now the league exposure is next to nothing, its more like a amateur league [in terms of coverage and support, we have had half decent players here every so often]. Unless Roman Abramovich decides that Chelsea dont need ne more money and Lebron James would look good in the London Towers colours

He could certainly afford it what with overpaying by 30-50% on just about every transfer made under his watch.
