Lebron going to Europe would be a good thing for basketball overall. It's certainly not out of the question, it just depends on how much money those owners are willing to burn. It could force the NBA to really improve upon itself, as mentioned, competition is a good thing.
Now that I think about it, there are just so many perks to playing in Europe aside from the money... who would blame Lebron for going for a year and testing it out? Putting myself in the shoes of Childress it seemed to certainly be a no brainer... if Lebron is offered 50 million (Euro's) for one year, you seriously don't think he's going to weigh his options?
