Probably not worth it to bring in USA sports diva even for a year, probably figures no way he ever takes it. Plus, those teams don't play in the palaces he's used to..it'd be a huge step down.

This is my Cavs pitch
-We promise to limit you to only play 60ish regular games. Basically all of the home games, but you're getting those dumb back2backs off.
-We will limit you to 30 minutes per game, no more than 2000 this season. We will get enough help out of our young legged guys that we just need you to make splash plays and blow stuff up.
-we will trade for Kevin Love or another player you like that we can land via trade.
-we will sign your guys you wanna hang out with. That means Mike Miller, Ray Allen, etc. Keep Andy around
-we will give you the 1+1 option, at your max salary level.

Plus he won't get the endorsement $. It would be a wash.

This is comically overestimating how much money European basketball teams have while comically underestimating the desire the best players have to play against the best competition.

Better stated. I think I do get the idea though. Russian oligarch buys a Turkish team or an Italian team or fuck, just goes to India and recreates the IPL for basketball and wants to recruit Kobe or someone.

I don't see how one year of dominating on dudes who aren't even as good as the Rucker is really an incentive, though for say $50-70 million...if he's willing to do it, then maybe other owners are willing to come in and do something similar and then all of a sudden, it's like "why are we playing in a capped league?"

For as dumb as Bill Simmons is, I agreed after the last lockout the players should've used all of their heft and started a renegade league.

For me, the bet only lasts during the season.
