After Josh Childress opted to play for team Olympiakos in Greece, leaving the Atlanta Hawks, for a guaranteed salary of $20 million (after taxes), the latest NBA player to bolt overseas is Orlando Magic's pointguard Carlos Arroyo.
The 29-year-old Arroyo signed a one-year deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv, an Israeli team.
Arroyo has averaged 7 points and 3.3 assists per game during his seven-year career that included previous stops in Toronto, Denver, Utah and Detroit. He averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists last season, primarily off the bench.
Nenad Kerstic left the New Jersey Nets and Carlos Delfino and Jorge Garbajosa left the Toronto Raptors to sign with a Russian team.
