Unrestricted free agent Earl Boykins signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal Tuesday to play with Virtus Bologna of the Italian league, the latest NBA player to sign a deal with an overseas club. Andy Bountogianis of the Cleveland-based Mark Termini Associates Inc. sports agency, confirmed the signing. The 32-year-old point guard will be the highest-paid player in Italy for the 2008-09 season.
