Yeah, I think you maybe right now that you mention it. The US taxes people working overseas if they live there over a certain amount of time (because it becomes their residence). I'm just too use to thinking of the guys that ditch the NBA being foreign players.

I think its great.
It's a smart move for him. More money, more exposure and ultimately becomes a better player.
You'll see him in a couple of years playing for an NBA team.
Same with the guy who skipped out of college to play overseas. Another smart move.

I disagree with the guy who skipped out of college to play overseas. It's a loophole in the system. If people are going to do this, then there is no reason for minimum age rule. Plus, I think he would definitely get more exposure in NCAA ball than overseas.
Jennings but not start a trend, too, because NCAA Ball > NBA. I don't want the stupid overseas taking the star players making NCAA Ball a little less exciting.

Looks like Artest is going to Houston. I like the trade for both teams. Houston gets a great shot at the finals this coming year and the Kings get two first round picks and an expiring contract in Jackson. It's good for me also as Bobby was my favorite player during the Kings best years, though he's pretty much washed up nowadays.
Houston might actually get out of the first round this upcoming season, if they can stay healthy, which is a pretty big if, all things considered. I was hoping we would get Artest, but Josh Smith is a better option, so hopefully Mitch can wave that magic wand and pull off an Odom for Smith sign and trade.

I personally don't care whether people go or not but for him, he starts making a ton of money, learns basketball from pro's and if he is good enough, he'll easily make it in the NBA in a couple of years.
