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.
And not just Lebron James proved it, he able to surpass the hardest trial in the NBA finals. No team have won by down in a 3-1 in NBA finals. With his performance, his teammate also build some determination that's why all CAVS deserved this year NBA title.
Nice move by the management, unlike on the Miami Heat's situation.
Lebron's manager already knew that they will receive a bigger contract this year because they have won the championship and that has a big impact for the cleveland cavaliers, actually lebron could have demanded more if he wants because he really deserve to be paid like a king.
