Why are all of our U.S. players, playing over-seas?

Question

It's weird...that last couple of days I've seen headlines about players going to play for a European team. Most recently I heard that Shaun Livingston (Clippers) is going over seas. And just yesterday I believe, they showed a headline from Ben Gordon (Bulls) saying that he would prefer to play in the U.S., but would consider playing for a Europeon team if it came down to the Bulls not re-signing him.

Answer 1

only one thing

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Answer 2

only one major player has left and most players are now just going to use Europe as a bargaining chip to scrape more $$$ out of their teams. Childress will be back and few good players will join him. I remember also seeing rumors of vujacic and biedrins going overseas but they both resigned. As for Livingston leaving the NBA, its possible because no one has ever returned 100% from his type of injury and a euro team would probably be willing to take a big risk on him while nba teams would not. Hes also had his starrting spot in LA filled with B Diddy, which doesnt encourage him.
