Nah dude, everywhere that isn't America is a 3rd world country and people still use Outhouses to poop.
Crap.
i take it as a joke sınce u havent been to istanbul yet. I live in fresno,ca and it is like a third world country/city compared to istanbul
But of course there are 3rd world type cities in Turkey too as not every city in US is new york.
But other than the city, i dont know what attracts Deron to Besiktas because they arent participating in Euroleague, only Efes and Fenerbahce Ulker does(where Kanter, Omer and Semih came from) in Turkey.
What i think is Deron just wants to keep himself fresh and dont wanna lack match practise once the lockout is over.
Turkish league is one of the most competing in Europe but the league games in Europe are played once a week thats why its not a big deal of competition compared to NBA.
Do the euro refs tolerate whining? It seemed different to me than the NBA in the few games and clips I have been able to watch of Euro basktetball. It was refreshing.
By the way I will be disappointed if Deron doesn't average 58% fg, 21 points, 15 assists and 3 steals a game.
They tolerate more i think, i dont see technical fouls very often and what i like in europe is there is much more tolerance for contact, in nba they blow the whistle as soon as Kobe like players get touched.
Also the games are 40 min each. So 21 pts 15 assists is a big number

And Deron is three times as good as anyone they've ever seen. I'd guess DWill would be taking it easy since he has his career to think about. But even coasting he would obliterate that league. I'll definitely be trying to watch those games if they ever happen.
Yes, I used sarcasm.
i agree that he will dominate the league but getting 21 pts 15 assts is like 26 pts 18 assts in nba so its pretty big but Deron is good, it would be an interesting turkish league with him. But i doubt they will win the league, Fenerbahce is dominating right now.

If Deron cared, he could make the worst team in that league champion. I'd even wager he could do it 4 on 5.

I don't get how this gives the players leverage. Can't the owners now say, "hey, you are willing to play for 5 million in Europe. Come back to America. You won't get your 17 million, but we will double what you are willing to work for, and our max deals will be 10 million. Don't like it? Go back to Europe and play for 5 million."
Well if a ton of star players are playing in Europe instead of the NBA, the NBA is going to lose a lot of money.
I think if a Euro team could land a Superstar in their prime like Dwill, the signing would pay for itself.
