Question

Serious discussion: Do you think the NBA will lose their best players / prospects to Europe?

Answer 1

With all that money talks? yes, that's tons of money who would not get delighted by that, but that's rather sad if the players go there just because of the money where has the duty and pride gone therefore?

Answer 2

No, the NBA is too big of a challenge to pass up if you're a great player.  It's possible to see guys go off to Europe towards the end of their careers, similar to what Beckham did in soccer.  Right now the money is the only serious advantage Europe has over the NBA, not talent and competition.

Answer 3

Due to the dreaded salary cap, they will lose quite of few players. But I doubt they would lose their 'best' players. I think most of them are secured financially anyway.

As for prospects, I think we'll be seeing more high school

players headed to Europe after Brandon Jennings. But most of them will probably make their way back to America and into the NBA because it is after all the highest level of competition in the world and the ultimate dream.
