Wafer following Kleiza to Greece
Earlier in the week, Linas Kleiza, who played for the Nuggets last year, signed a two-year deal with Olimpiakos of Greece.
Now Von Wafer, who played for the Rockets last year, is taking his game and his mohawk to Europe. Wafer signed a two-year deal with Olimpiakos worth $10 million and he can opt out after one year to return to the NBA.
"Financially, he wasn't going to get that type of an offer in the NBA," [Wafer's international agent Giovanni] Funiciello said. "As far as I knew, he really didn't have anything concrete as far as the NBA was concerned."
Last year, Wafer averaged 9.7 points per game and shot nearly 40 percent from three-point range.
