this is deadly serious, they are also looking at all of the other NBA players whose contracts are up or can opt out at the end of the season, including allen Iverson. Professional athletes contracts in europe almost always include the club paying the taxes of your salary, meaning he would pocket the full 60 million Euro…Athens or away games in Oklahoma city?? easy choice!

keep in mind also that Kobe grew up in Italy, so he has a bit of a connection to the area.

Kobe can opt out after this season. His NBA contract's not a problem in this scenario.

Kobe's getting old and has hurt fingers. Let him go to Greece, the Lakers don't need him much longer.

They better build in a jewelry discount of some sort, or no deal.
