Deron Williams has apparently started a trend. Now other high profile players are reportedly interested in playing across the pond during a lockout.
Mason Jr., a vice president with the players’ union, told us today that both Knicks stars have contacted him about Williams’ situation and inquired about the rules and insurance information.
Would the Knicks’ biggest stars really consider going over to Europe if the NBA season is compromised?
“I can see anybody doing it,” said Mason Jr. said. “This is what people have to understand. It’s definitely about earning a living, but we’ve already been so blessed, a lot of guys love the game and want to be able to compete . . . I’ve talked to a lot of the star players, Chris Paul, Amar’e, Melo, I think that those guys are open-minded to everything.”
