What?
Lebron has 2 more years left on his contract with a player option for the 3rd year. He will definitely opt out to get more money. Making him an UNRESTRICTED free agent. He is going to be able to choose where he wants to go..most likely NJ, NY, or LA so that a clause in his advertising contract kicks in, giving LEbron more money. Of Lebron does something crazy and signs with a Euro team...he will be an unrestricted free agent when he returns.
He can't break his contract and not play..leave to play for Europe and then come back with no repercussions. That makes NO sense.
