2014/15 International Transactions Log

There are only 450 available spots on NBA rosters during the regular season each year, and that leaves a lot of players on the outside looking in.  When a player leaves the league, that doesn’t mean his career is over. Many choose the D-League, believing it’s their best opportunity to attempt an NBA comeback, but most players take their talents to other countries and professional leagues around the world.

International player movement can have a ripple effect in the NBA. John Lucas III reportedly had a workout scheduled with the Lakers earlier this season, but he broke off those plans to sign to play with Fujian in China, and now he’s with the Pistons on a 10-day contract. Jordan Farmar received a two-year contract for the biannual exception from the Clippers this past summer and drew preliminary interest from the Cavs shortly after buying his way out of his Clippers pact. Still, last week he jumped at a deal to play in Turkey for more than the prorated NBA minimum salary.

Below is a look at some of the international transactions for the 2014/15 season that involve former NBA players, recent undrafted NCAA players and draft rights held players. We’ll be keeping this post up to date throughout the rest of the 2014/15 regular season, and you can find it anytime on the right sidebar under “Hoops Rumors Features.”
