Up to now, everything seems more or less normal. In general, we are speaking about players who look for more minutes in the games and more money for their accounts, thanks to some multimillionaire owners. But what seems insane is the so-called offer that Olympiacos has made to acquire Lebron James’ services for 2010, giving him a 40-50 million dollar contract by year. I do not know how to say this, but I do not believe that this situation can arrive. Firstly, James already earns about 38 millions with his contract and the publicity agreements with Coca-Cola, Nike or State Farms (according to Forbes magazine). Contracts to be revised in the following years. On the other hand, I cannot imagine him coming to Europe to develop his career being only 25 by that year, despite an unlikely NBA ring in his finger in the next two seasons. He is already the under-25 person that earns more money every year in the USA, and I do not think he crosses the ocean for a few more millions because he is becoming a great legend in the most prestigious basketball league. And legends do not do that. Personally, I could not imagine what to do with such amount of money, but I do not manage those sums actually. Let’s be realistic.

Are we crazy?
