Looks like Zaza has agreed to play overseas (NOPE)

Zaza is going to stay in playing shape apparently.

Zaza will be in Turkey and possibly be joined by Deron Williams.

Good move to make money while these owners force their will on us.

Guessing you are a player supporter in the lockout then based off of your comments?

I support Zaza's decision as he needs to offset the restaurant losses somehow.

Let's just say Im not a playa hayta! These owners made this 'model' and now they have to get to the point where they force their will......I applaud the players to get as much as they can.

Is there a less logical group than the ASG? Complain about losing $$, and pay one player 25% of your cap, and 25M more than anyone else could......now you tell me which side has less common sense?

I say wipe the slate clean with this management team...they aren't built for a championship. It may take a new owner to get any movement in that direction, but this group has no clue.

Don't be surprised to see what, 100 players head overseas to keep playing? My guesstimate because this is gonna be a long one! Let's agree once there's a plan to ensure all 30 teams are profitable.....incompetent millionaires.

He should stay over there. The guy shows up just about as much as Marvin Williams does during the regular season but gets praised for it. He forgot the season had started until after the all-star break last year, he is hardly some warrior or true professional that some make him out to be. I would love to be giving that money to Dalembert or someone that will protect the rim and be useful for more than 30 games a year.

His services are mainly used during the postseason. He is under contract for 2 more seasons and I am content with the amount of money he makes. I doubt he receives a raise once he becomes a free agent, but in most cases he's showed up when we needed him the most, and has done what's asked of him.

The problem for his money you won't get a player who is significantly better. Dalembert will get more than Zaza's 4.75M this season. If you want someone who is better than zaza, you have to be forking over more money.

Zaza is good for what he does. He is an enforcer. He bothers players in the paint and gets under their skin.

Dalembert would laugh in your face if you offered him 5 million per year.

Change of plans for Zaza.

There was lot of talking me going to play for Besiktas during lockout.We couldn't agree on the therms and I'm not going to play for them. http://twitter.com/#!/zaza27/status/94485127920484352
