Honestly figured he'd opt out and sign another 1+1

He wouldn't do that because then he'd either be taking a pay cut.

Tries to maximize his cash every year and knows he's not getting the same deal he's been getting after this one

So much greatness in that tweet with Lebron and goat sports agent Rich Paul.

Proud of those brothas.

I don't expect anybody to take a pay cut but it's disingenuous for him to take the full amount after he recently said that the most important thing to him is getting to the Finals or winning a ring.

Disingenuous is what Lebron is as a person

If he was serious about a title, he would have found a way back to Cleveland. The East is going to be wide open.

Chances of him being traded?

It's his right to be paid like a superstar, but his whole career has been about him. What two players could you replace Lebron with and get similar/better numbers? Instead money goes to one guy and you have to pull someone from the local YMCA to fill the roster.

Jalen Brunson can speak on this. He took a massive pay cut so the Knicks could sign players to improve. That being KAT…

My biggest gripe is that the media acts like Rich Paul is a serious person. How his role isnt a bigger scandal is beyond me. There is no way that guy is qualified to do what he does.
