 QUOTE A person close to Lebron James said Tuesday that the Cavaliers' superstar would strongly consider playing overseas if he was offered a salary of "around $50 million a year." James' current contract expires after the 2010-2011 season, but he can opt out after the 2009-2010 season, and while several NBA teams are working to create salary cap space for his impending free agency, none could offer a contract beginning at even $20 million a year. The Russian team CSKA Moscow and the Greek team Olympiacos, which recently gave Josh Childress a contract approaching $30 million over three years, have already contacted James, according to the person close to him. The person added, however, that no monetary or contractual discussions have taken place. do you think europe is going to end up being a real competitor when it comes to free agency? especially since, unlike the nba, they don't have a salary cap. sidenote: i'll never get over how much these dudes get paid to play a game. |

Of course I do, and I am glad that this is happening. The Salary Cap needs to be done away with in all sports.

I'm glad that this is a wakeup call to do away with the salary cap. The fact that teams are preparing this season for Lebron, who could very well re-up with his team, is atrocious.

i'd love that. i'd love anyone great to go to the nets though. i'm still living in the past back when it was kidd, martin and jefferson in the finals. i've never gotten over that nets team...i'll be happy when they're in their prime again.
