It might become a more popular option for young players who become disgruntled with their teams. Perhaps in light of that, some changes to restricted free agency will be made next time they negotiate the CBA, as X suggested.

For the majority, this Europe business will simply be leverage used by the player's agents in the wake of Childress' shock decision.

Once the hype dies down it won't be such a big issue anymore, and the leverage wont be as great.

Deng to Europe? Damn, i doubt that he will play in Europe, samething goes for West. Heh, but Williams, i really dont care

Hey if you love to play basketball, does it really matter where you play it? If you want a nice paycheck, and live in some of the best places in the world, and get to play basketball, then go for it.

Lulz at the NBA owners shooting themselves in the foot yet again.

How could you miss that guy? He is not a horrible player but wouldn't you want someone else riding the point instead of him?

If you don't pay me big, I'll go to Europe.

The newest pick-up line for the players.

They offered Deng a contract, but he declined.

His future with the Bulls still seems up in the air though. It looks like he might go for the qualifying offer and bolt via free agency next year. It's not a bad bargaining chip in the wake of Childress' decision though.

I'd say it matters for most players, even within their own country. Otherwise, you wouldn't see players like Baron Davis opting out of a $17 million for one season.
