August 27, 2008 While recent news of players moving to Europe for big dollars has stoked the flames of rumor, claiming it is just a matter of time before the elite of the NBA are facing gigantic financial offers to leave the states and move overseas, the economics of the current situation suggest no such offer is likely to be coming any time soon for players like LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, according to ESPN.
August 16, 2008 LeBron James helped the United States completely destroy the Spanish team in the Olympics, 119-82, by pouring in 18 points, dishing seven assists and grabbing four rebounds.
August 5, 2008 A person close to LeBron James said the superstar would consider a future move to Europe is he was offered "around $50 million a year," ESPN.com reports. His current contract runs through the 2009-10 season. CSKA Moscow (Russia) and Olympiakos (Greece) have reportedly already contacted James.
