Hate to break it to you kids, but after the first 80K each year, all of that 20m mill is just as taxable as if he made in the states.

Still, ballin’ in Greece for that kind of bank would be pretty sweet.

He should go take the bread.He can be the man and get more dough,what more do you need.He aint never gonna be more than a role player in the states anyway.

This is a real possibility, and I could see Chill taking it. He is a bright, cool, Stanford-educated cat, who seems to dance to his own beat a bit. I loved his happy, easy-going (but take care of business) attitude last year.

With more $ than the Hawks are willing to pay and a chance for a young, single guy to have some fun in Europe for a couple of years, if the offer is out there, watch him take it. Damn!

Basketball is slowly but surely joining (proper) football as a global king. It makes sense that Europe will eventually be in the market for the best Americans, just as in the other game. A comparatively weak US economy is only going to expedite the process.

Good for him! Why not see a little bit of the world on someone else’s dime. He’ll be playign agaisnt some pretty good comp in the euroleague as well as the Greek league. I hope more players start opting to play in the top divisions over there. I wonder if Childress and Jennings play against each other in the Euroleague?

Read Agent zero’s blog about his trip over seas….then you will understand why an NBA player would want to leave the US- to sum it up, they will treat him like a Greek God.
I would do it in a heartbeat. Especially if he has the option to come back after a year or two

This is ridiculous man- stay in the U.S.A man- I can’t believe he would leave.
