On PTI they said the same team wants Kobe. I wonder what stars are going to end up playing over there? I would. It's a decent bargaining chip.

If enough players go to Turkey, the folks wanting to see Lofton against NBA talent might get close to their wish. Of course, Lofton has to get back to Turkey.

He'll likely get beheaded. That's what they do there.

I've found life post-decapitation to be remarkably fulfilling.

Capitalism at it's finest. Go with the market that is actually paying. The NBA sure isn't.

They should learn from Utah and include death by firing squad(polygamy wouldn't hurt, either).

D-Will predicts an Exodus to Europe if owners don't "play ball". Though I disagree in the short run, in the long run it's inevitable. Basketball is getting as big in Europe as soccer is here. If the MLS can bring in Beckham, Marquez, Henry, and Lundberg then their is no doubt in my mind that European hoops teams will eventually bring in marquee ballers on the reg. The owners are probably speeding up this process.

Mls to euro basketball is a good analogy. It's where over the hill stars go to make a few more good checks.
