LeBron James will re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a three-year, $100 million maximum contract, league sources said, and the three-time NBA champion also pressured the Cavs to finalize a deal to keep free agent J.R. Smith.

That's more than $33 million a year, fellas. Does that make him the highest paid player now? If so, he richly deserves it and more.

He deserve that pay, he had already proven that he can take his team to the finals and even with the finals. I think if the cavaliers can give more than that then the better so lebron will definitely not leave cleveland.

Yes He's now the highest paid player in the NBA. He surpass Mike Conley contract worth of 150m for 5 years which Conley recently signed. But until now I cant move on on Conley contracts. He didn't deserve that kind of contract for now, because he never been in all star.

He is underpaid based on his value. Value being the performance he brings to a team, and the revenue his name bring to the NBA / team.
He should be payed more ually, he should probably be making something $600 million/3 years. Of course, because of the salary cap, we have guys like Lebron/KD/Curry/etc ended up massively underpaid, and scrubs and very mediocre talent (that don't really move the needle at all) making $17+ million a year.
