With the looming work stoppage due to NBA lockout next summer, league players are now looking into the possibility of playing overseas to generate income. But is it possible considering that they are under contract with NBA teams? Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks started it off by saying he would return to Europe if ever the lockout pushes through. Here are thoughts of some players from the Chicago Bulls, according to NBA Fanhouse.
Luol Deng: “I would, (but) maybe because I know Europe. A lot of guys are going to want to play (overseas). It's a way to stay in shape. Financially, a lot of guys have got families and everything, so I see a lot of guys doing it. I think if you can, a lot of players will.”
Kyle Korver: “There might be three guys that do that (in the entire league). I think everybody thinks they're going to get some crazy contract over there, and it's not going to happen. If you're going to get like $10 million, then yeah do it. But no one is going to get that. There are no guys in the NBA who will go over there and play for a million dollars.”
Carlos Boozer: “I'm going to have to have my (agent) look into that. If your contract says that you can only play basketball with (your current NBA team), then there's no gray area. That's black and white. You can't (do it) unless you want to breach that contract. But if that language isn't in there.”
