if LeBron was to leave... then he should go international...

I still think Lebron will most likely stay. But, there is definitely a close to 50% chance he will leave. If he does, I and many others who are have spoke to some people with pretty solid information have him joining up with Jay-Z in Newark for 2 seasons and then to Brooklyn. I heard he will put pressure on his next team and ask for an option earlier than you might expect to make sure things are running smoothly. Regardless, the Nets have much more talent than the Knicks, have the richest owner in the NBA (or second to Paul Allen), two brand new arenas (Newark is state of the art built in 2007 and Brooklyn 2012), and then they have Jay-Z on top of all of that. The Nets will have a new coach in 2 weeks and a top 4 pick in 7 days. Things are about to get very interesting. I respect Cleveland more than anything. I feel like now its 55%-60% staying in Cleveland (which means he likely will) and then the 35% to NJ and 5% to NY.

wow poster is severely mistaken. lebron would lose so much money going international, not to mention his legacy. who the **** cares how many championships he wins in the spanish league when all the talent is in the NBA. my god this has been one of the most idiotic lebron ideas ever.

If he could sign with a Russian team for like 50+ million a year it would be worth doing. LeBron doesn't care about 6th year. 6th year just keeps LeBron from making more money.
