How long before the transfer door swings the other way?
Hiring Euroleague players away from their previous employer (e.g., Demin, Bosko) is pretty cool as long as the transfers come our direction. I wonder how long it will be before a player goes the other direction?

It happens all the time in minor league baseball; players routinely move up or down within the same organization or get hired away. A player could get moved to the Toledo Mudhens this morning and be in the game tonight. Former BYU basketball players are constantly bouncing between different international leagues and G-league teams within a single season.

College teams are now not much different from the patchwork of pro leagues around the world--except that you have to attend American Heritage and BoM 101 if you're at BYU. Eventually Real Madrid or Paris Oo-la-la is going to lure some of these guys back and they'll leave on the next flight and be playing there tomorrow. I wonder if the gaining teams will "buy out" the departing player's contract?

Seems certain that the transfer door will swing both ways.
