LeBron James Reportedly Would Consider Playing In Europe
Posted August 13th, 2008
Source:proathletesonly.com
If the money is right, LeBron James would consider playing in Europe, a source close to the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar told ESPN.com.

So, how much would it take to lure away James, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2003 NBA draft? “Around $50 million a year,” the source told the website.

 

James’ contract with the Cavs expires following the 2009-10 season. Given the limited salary cap space most any NBA team has to work with, paying $50 million a year for one player — even James — is unlikely.

The website reports the Russian team CSKA Moscow and the Greek team Oympiakos have already contacted James, but no contractual talks have transpired.

In late July, Olympiakos signed Atlanta Hawks restricted free agent Josh Childress to a deal worth up to $30 million over a three-year span. Several other, lesser-known NBA players have also accepted deals to play in Europe.
