Linas Kleiza, the 6'8", 245 lb. Denver Nuggets forward, has agreed in terms to a two-year deal with Greece's Olympiakos, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The deal, which continues a streak of mid-level type players signing deals overseas, is reportedly worth $12.2 million over two years.

Kleiza, who joins Josh Childress and Jannero Pargo as effective NBA players defecting to Europe from the NBA, averaged 9.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 22.2 minutes.
