Recently a few NBA players have left the NBA to embark on careers overseas with International Teams.
Josh Childress former Altanta Hawk is now a member of the Greek team Olympiakos.
Earl Boykins played with Charlotte Bobcats last season and has also played for the New Jersey Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks, will now play for Virtus Bologna of the Italian league.
Carlos Arroyo, who played for Orlando the past two seasons, announced that he has signed a one-year deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv, an Israeli club.
Also last month, Nenad Krstic left the Nets and Carlos Delfino and Jorge Garbajosa left the Toronto Raptors to sign with a Russian team.
In June, Juan Carlos Navarro rejoined FC Barcelona after a one-season stint with the Memphis Grizzlies.
I've even heard that King James is considering playing overseas as well. He is looking for 50 Million a year.
Will more players follow? Will the NBA expand the league to include international teams? Or is this just not news worth?
I think the NBA will eventually expand and include international teams within the next 5 - 10 years.

IM GLAD PLAYERS ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THAT MONEY. THE LEAGUE HAS CHANGED, THERES NO LOYALTY ON THE PART OF THE TEAMS ANYMORE SO OFCOURSE THE PLAYERS ARE GONNA START LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES. I SAY GO OVERSEAS FOR A YEAR OR TWO AND GET THAT MONEY AND COME BACK A BIGGER STAR.
