Actually, the "real" Euroleague Big Three play for Real Madrid and they go by the names of Pepe Sanchez, Louis Bullock and Lazaros Papadopoulos.

It does look like the guys left out there are restricted. It will be tough to pry anything of interest.

Boki Nachbar just signed with a Russian team for 13.7 mil (NBA equivalent) $$ per year

The Russians are going after Lebron in 2010

Yup, I heard Khimki Moscow wants him to play alongside Delfino and Garbajosa.

With that I'd think they'd be unstoppable.

Chances of LeBron in Russia...less than zero.

Of course I'm basing this entirely on Paul Shirley's account of Russian basketball.

It would be like taking an inferior, mismanaged NBDL team that doesn't feel compelled to honor it's contracts and transplanting it in a incredibly cold, unfriendly country with an insurmountable language barrier.

Put a pampered NBA athlete in that environment?
