That's ridiculously cheap for a player of his caliber. If there is no NBA season and Deron Williams plays say 8 months with Besiktas, then they would have signed him for $1.6m for the entire season. If that's the going salary, I think that it is worth the investment for European teams to try to sign at least one NBA All Star. Without an NBA season, Euroleague will get a ton of exposure, especially teams with familiar faces. Its a good opportunity to grow interest in the US and Asia.
