This is the real deal right here. European owners can pretty much own a salary threshold of $100million in a year then sign an NBA player who is worth $10-12 a year, or sign an NBA headcase who talks a lot but can really play, or pay someone more than the NBA value.
This would call out to those teams who keeps on lowballing its star players. Especially now that the economy in the US is in a mess, I'm not gonna be surprised at all when some free agents next year will be lured by these European clubs.
As for Lebron's case, di nako mahibulong if moadto siya didto. More exposure (endorsements), more fun (your the guy, you shoot), more money ('nuff said).
