Some of you may be big enough Josh Childres Signing with Olympiacos and the ensuing NBA teams could lose talent panic, which could lose assets for European clubs. It sounds like it was billions of years ago, but it is not actually twenty years ago.
This happened in the summer of 2008, when Childress, who averaged 11.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in the previous season, chose to sign a three-year contract with Olympiacos, worth up to $20 million. In hindsight, it was thought that this might lead to the NBA losing its coveted European club, as Childress made the liberal decision as 25 years old.
Of course, Childress’s decision ultimately did not lead to a large number of NBA talents in Europe.
And now, it is almost impossible for NBA players who dream of vet to choose to sign in Europe again, at least not purely for financial reasons. Nikola miroticin the 10s, NBA players were solid, and in the summer of 2019, he did choose a 27-year-old European career, but that had a lot to do with Mirotic wanting to be closer to home, not because European teams provided him with more money than NBA teams.
The gap between Europe and the NBA salary has widened greatly, and the edge Y NBA players now make Euroleague Star Money.
