Linas Kleiza, a Lithuanian player with the Denver Nuggets, will be headed back to Europe for the next season and possibly for two. He is one of those players that might not really be happy in the NBA, because of the intensity, scrutiny and all that. Kleiza’s decided to join Olypiakos on a two year deal, but he would be eligible to return to the NBA next summer, and the Nuggets would retain their rights to him. The team has lost some free agents this year, throwing some questions on whether they will be able to do as well next year as they did in the last playoffs. The Nuggets were one of the surprise teams in the west this year, challenging some of the toughest teams around. Kleiza is on the way to Europe and hopefully he will have a good time and stay uninjured over there.
