Agent: Overseas leagues offer good benefits and are attractive, but they will gradually lose contact with the NBA.

October 20th, salary expert Keith Smith wrote an article analyzing the impact of two-way contract rules on the NBA in recent years.

The article mentioned that under the influence of the new labor agreement, more and more players choose to play overseas, but there are also many players who choose to continue waiting for opportunities in the NBA. Different player agents have different opinions on this.

An agent said: "NBA teams are now unwilling to spend even a penny more on non-main players, which is why free agents no longer wait. Why must they play in the NBA, eventually be waived, and then lose the opportunity to make money overseas."

Another agent said: "I want my players to be as close to the NBA as possible, and the goal is to play in the NBA. The NBA does not sign many players from overseas every season, only one or two. You leave the NBA for a year to play overseas, which is not bad for some people, because Overseas leagues also offer pretty good benefits, and you can even become a star player there. But for players who want to enter the NBA, I recommend keeping close contact with the NBA at all times. "

A free agent veteran added: "I rejected some high-priced contracts from overseas because I know I am an NBA player. But I don’t have a contract and the bills are due, you know what I mean? I wonder every day if I made the right decision. I see there are teams with open spots but it seems like it would be better for them to save money than sign me? I don't understand why this is happening. "
