Here's what CSKA Moscow general manager said in response to these rumours: "I don't know how to comment this. Of course the club made no offers to LeBron James. It's common to plan your squad for two years in the future in Europe. Moreover, Trajan Langdon and Terence Morris will have contracts in 2010 that's why we couldn't register LeBron for Russian league because he would be already the 3rd American on the team. We would invite James if he gets Azerbaijani citizenship"
Speaking about possible move of one of those stars to Europe, it would be interesting to see how they would put their ego's behind the team. In NBA they are kept on the court despite anything and can shoot ridicilous number of times. Team basketball is the most important in Europe. Also the defence would not allow that. So they would be scoring around 20-25 points per game at best if we speak about Euroleague.
The main reason why these moves would be good is the promotion of European basketball.
