Wilkins joined the Hawks midway through the 2010-11 season and was pretty efficient in limited playing time there, averaging 3.5 ppg on 50.4 percent shooting. Despite his nice season with Atlanta, the 6-foot-6 Wilkins has not heard from European clubs. “If that was the case I probably would’ve been gone already – especially since they allow you to return.” HoopsHype

If that happens, Kaman -- whose options would be increased due to his European passport -- will give any offer serious consideration. "I totally would. I'm open to any opportunity," Kaman told ESPN.com. "I just haven't got to the point where I know what's happening with the NBA yet. I want to at least wait to October to figure out if there's going to be any kind of talks about the season. We'll see what happens then." ESPN.com

We hear about players moving over here in Europe everyday. What is your opinion about that? Do you think about coming back to Europe? Pachulia: I think NBA players who are free agents have a better chance to come play in Europe. For those who have contracts, it’s not that easy. Honestly, right now I’m just focused on EuroBasket. Once it ends, I’ll think about it. RealGM

Dan Grunfeld: I've been on both NBA and European road trips, and let me tell you, they're not even close. There may be five or 10 basketball clubs overseas that can come anywhere close to duplicating the type of travel that goes on in the NBA, but from my experiences playing in Germany, Spain and Israel, road trips on the other side of the pond are generally way, way different. With all of these NBA guys going overseas to play during the lockout, these differences are pretty relevant right now, so let me take you through two real road trips, one NBA and one European, hyperbole not included, just so we can all be in agreement about this.

Dan Grunfeld: We had a game in Philly after Toronto, so it was scheduled to be about a four-day trip. When you're on the road in the NBA, you get per diem for food, well over $100 a day. Sometime on board the plane, someone from the team came around and casually handed me an envelope with like $500 in it. During my short time with the Knicks, my go-to move was to get to the city we were playing in, buy three or four Subway five-dollar foot longs, put them in my fridge, then pocket the rest of the per diem. I was a little younger then, but looking back, I still think it was a pretty legit way to go. SB Nation

Every game in Europe really matters, so because we lost, people were not in good moods. Everyone mostly kept to themselves, checking their smart phones, listening to their iPods, studying the trinkets in the gift shops, twiddling their thumbs and just somehow trying to pass the time until the plane left. On our flight to Madrid, the whole team, even our 6'10 guys, sat in coach. If they got lucky, the bigger guys may have scored exit row seats, but because I wasn't one of them at a mere 6'6, I had my knees in my armpits the whole time. After an uncomfortable flight, we got into Madrid probably around 9:30 p.m. or so. Unlike the charters of the NBA, our commercial flight, aside from having no room, also had no food, so we each bought some dinner at the airport. The team reimbursed us if we showed our receipts, so that was a bit of a bonus. SB Nation

The problem, though, is that -- so far, at least -- the overseas threat has done little to add urgency to the CBA negotiations. In fact, it’s not hard to imagine the league’s owners twiddling their thumbs and saying, “Turkey, eh? Send us a postcard.” Yeah, the owners simply aren’t buying it. “I don’t think (NBA) teams view this as a huge thing,” one league executive said. “There is a lot more to playing overseas than a lot of guys realize. It’s not an All-Star Game. You’re not going to be pampered. And there isn’t some infinite amount of money out there for these guys to sign for.” Sporting News
