Details of the deal disclose that James will be getting $31 million in the coming season, making him the highest-paid player in the entire National Basketball Association, while the 2017-18 part of the deal will see James get over $33 million, breaking Michael Jordan’s contract record of $33 million back in the 1997-98 season.
LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cavaliers will reportedly again put in some extra work prior to training camp.
Now when the 2020 Olympics arrive, Lebron James will be 35 years old and will most likely have gone through four more years of long playoff runs.
Right now, most of the National Basketball Association is in vacation mode, and that includes the men who play in Cleveland. He was responding to a question about whether he might want to be a general manager when his playing days are over.”I think so”, James said on the podcast, called “Open Run, ‘ hosted by actor Jesse Williams and Stefan Marolachakis. I just can’t wait to get the group back together”. “So I still left the door open”. After helping Team USA to gold medals in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, James revealed in late June that he wouldn’t be a part of this year’s festivities in Rio de Janeiro.
“I feel like my brain, as far as the game of basketball, is unique”, James said.
A guest on the podcast, James discussed how he builds his teams and noted his next dream is to own one.
Without James – and several other stars – the US men’s basketball team has eked into the semifinal round Wednesday, winning their last three games by a total of 16 points. “If I’m fortunate enough to own a team, then I’m going to hire the best GM and president that I can”, James said. I’m skeptical about LeBron playing for Team USA in Tokyo.
With superstar LeBron James already secured with a record-breaking three-year, $100 million contract, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now waiting for mercurial shooting guard JR Smith to sign on the dotted line as rumors emerge that the team could also target veteran Vince Carter on a trade this summer.
