LeBron James has agreed to 3-year deal with Cavs

It appears that might finally be happening. The salary for the 2017-18 season will top $33 million, making him the highest-paid player in a single season in league history, exceeding the $33 million Michael Jordan earned with the Chicago Bulls in the 1997-98 season.

The third season is reportedly a player option.

LeBron James posted a video Thursday, announcing he will be returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron James is going to hang around home for a while. In his announcement, King James himself shared that the Kevin Love team must now focus on the former New York Knicks star. The only surprising thing was the length of the deal.

How do you get yourself into a position where you can ask your boss for ridiculous amounts of cash and they’ll give it to you without asking? They know that the shooting guard will get the pay he deserves; an annual salary within the proximity of $10 million.

So that gives the Cavs a bit of security, even as it remains exceedingly unlikely that James would leave for another organization.

Their last opponent was considered the most skilled team in the league.

LeBron James has always been considered the league’s best player and now he’ll finally have the contract to match. Mike Conley is making 30.5 million dollars a year. With the rising salary cap, it is no surprise that James is getting a massive deal.

James, who said earlier this summer he meant to re-sign with Cleveland, will soon sign the deal, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because some details of the deal need to be finalized.

Smith is a free agent. James previously signed one to two-year contracts so this move hints that he plans to stay and potentially deliver more National Basketball Association plums to Dan Gilbert and company. What people wanted to know is how much he will sign for, and everyone’s anticipating a record-breaking deal after the best player in the planet delivered a championship trophy to Cleveland as promised.
