Looks like Baron Von Wafer is joining Linus Kleiza in Greece to play for Olympiakos.

Good riddance. You know its bad when the Rockets, a team that will be in desperate need of scoring this upcoming season, aren't willing to resign him.

Not necessarily

They have no salary cup so he can probably get paid more $ there. Heck, Josh Childress is making over $10M a year in Greece, which I doubt he could make in the US.

Good Riddance

He messed us up last spring. I remember him missing once in five games. Of course, he passed that often too.

The Rockets are dead.

I could have sacrificed goin' out
To think my homies who did it, I used to joke about
From now on I'ma use self control instead of birth control
Cause $315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth it

Without Yao they were already dead to us.

Scola won’t get wide open jumpers if Yao isn’t on the floor. Driving the lanes will be more difficult with a Blazer’s center waiting for you.

I’m interested to see how well the team does when Battier has to be more of a main contributor.

In the end

I feel bad for the Rockets…even before we were matched up against them I wanted it to be Portland and Rockets for the WCF, or at least for them to go far after we were eliminated.

he's definitely good enough to play in the nba

they aren’t “unwilling” to resign him. they can’t offer him anything other than i would guess the veteran minimum which is less than 2 million. he can make far more in greece with no taxes and with nearly all of his expenses covered.

what would you do?

If I was Von Wafer?

I’d legally change my name to Vanilla Wafer

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

Yeah

In Europe players also don’t have their taxes paid for by the team, they usually get accommodation as well. It’s a pretty sweet deal as long as you aren’t playing on some backwater Russian team where you don’t even receive paychecks at times.
