I was just reading this and its kinda interesting I would say now it sounds like Kobe is thinking about going to Europe.....if he leaves and LeBron stays then that could change a lot.

i hear this and at first you laugh at it,but if you think about it all i takes is for one BIG player to go and then the others  will follow.to lure a big name away from nba im sure its gonna take 50mill a year or somethin close.what makes kobes case scary4lakers fans is that he said he'd probaly go for 50mill a year.

All i know is that Europe is starting to become a major thorn in david stern's side,i expect something to be done in 1 to 2 years about europe trying to raid the nba's talent.i only expect such a quick response from the nba because its messin wit their pocketbooks if players start dashin to europe.

All it takes is one,but will a big name ever be bold enough to jump overseas?
