Two-way player in Japan

Story of Otani.

These transfer agreements seem... odd.  What would stop Otani from leaving Japan, joining an independent league in America for a year, and then declare himself available? to any MLB team?

The NHL has special rules for players by age.  Article 9.1.b shows that there are limits to the entry-level system (equivalent to pre-arb period in MLB) based on age.  So a guy who plays his first game at age 25 or older is not subject to the entry-level compensation system.  For European players, that goes up to age 28.

Furthermore, Article 8.4 talks about the entry draft, and if you've been selected twice before, you are no longer subject to the entry draft.  Or, if you are 22 years old and never been previously selected, you are a free agent.

Does anyone know how it works for NBA?
