Kleiza and Wafer to Olympiakos

And, in related news, Nate Robinson is now pondering an offer from the Slovakian second division.

Obviously, the main point here is that NBA role players heading overseas seems to almost becoming a trend. There aren't very many clubs that can actually afford these guys, so it won't become terribly widespread, but three of Olympiakos' starting five are now guys they "took" from the NBA during their prime. Of course, Olympiakos will have to actually win something for other teams to consider this a viable model. Last season they failed to take home any trophies, despite having a payroll that dwarfed most of their competitors.
