ATS Experts This would be a little bit more of a shocker than the Childress move. We all understand the business and that the European market is growing with fans, however, is it really worth it for a player like West to go play in Russia?? Something about this move doesn't seem as inticing as a move to Italy or Greece for instance. I believe West had an impact in Cleveland and if he doesn't stay in Cleveland he could have an impact as a starter or 6th man on another team in the NBA for less money than the Russian team is offering and an easier travel schedule.

Delonte West, Sasha Vujacic, And Andris Biedrins May Head To Europe For More Money

Obviously, Dynamo Moscow doesn't have to worry about that at all. NBA rules don't apply to them. ...

First, there was Brandon Jennings heading to Europe, but that looked to be an isolated act. However, now that Josh Childress has signed in Greece, European teams are reaching out more and more to average NBA players.
The first rumor after Childress was that Rocket Carl Landry was considering going to Europe, but that appears unlikely.
Since then:
- Delonte West to Dynamo Moscow is possible.
- Sasha Vujachic is prepared to go to Europe if he doesn't get an offer he likes from the Lakers.
- Andris Biedrins was drawing interest ...
Cavs notes: Lorenzen Wright close to signing, Delonte West - not so much
NBA Noise —
... in the off-season, West lost a bit of leverage and is relatively expendable with Williams and Daniel Gibson already on the books. We'll see if this stalemate pushes West to the point of signing with Dyanamo Moscow, who reportedly have already offered him a 2-year deal worth around $10 mil. ...
