    Heck, the Cleveland Cavaliers' strongest competition for LeBron James' long-term services could be the deep-pocketed new kid on the block -- Europe.</div>



    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>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.</div>

    LeBron has always wanted to be a pioneer is the basketball world. Who is to say he won't be the first star player to head across the pond to Europe? This is exactly what I have been talking about, though, yes players want to win and stay in the NBA, but oyu'd have to be pad to turn down $50m per year. Simply mad.
