I remember a few seasons ago that being floated around, especially in China. LBJ said something to the effect that $50 mil a season would be nice.sleeper;1739039 wrote:Would never happen.

Also, no chance any overseas team ponies up $50M for Lebron to play. He's not worth that honestly.
If he could get that deal it would be worth it as he would likely also get a bunch of endorsements in a huge market.Azubuike24;1739042 wrote:Isn't like 80% of LeBron's income from things other than his NBA salary? Maybe more? Would 50M in salary in China be worth it?
Maybe so. China is fucking huge. He might make even more money exploiting their money.
I'm betting Gilbert let Lebron build his team as a condition for coming back and I'm also betting Lebron is a big reason why the TT deal isn't done.Azubuike24;1739040 wrote:There's gotta be a line.
The Cavs traded a lot to get Love, for LBJ
The Cavs went max on Love, for LBJ
The Cavs keep Andy around, for LBJ
The Cavs want to pay Thompson arguably more than he's worth (to them), for LBJ
I mean, maybe he and Gilbert had some sort of agreement that if LBJ comes back, he basically calls the shots and has an open wallet. Still, LeBron bolted Cleveland for a "better roster" in Miami. He bolted Miami for a "better roster" in Cleveland. He just went to the finals, without Love and basically Kyrie? There's nowhere better to bolt too...
I'm not sure what role - if any - Lebron plays with TT's contract but for the reasons you mentioned it's only a matter of time before he resigns one way or another.sleeper;1739051 wrote:I'm betting Gilbert let Lebron build his team as a condition for coming back and I'm also betting Lebron is a big reason why the TT deal isn't done.
TT is restricted so no way the Cavs let him leave without matching. The open market will give him a smaller deal and the Cavs can match. Or TT can take the 1 year offer at like $7M or w/e which is risky for him. Cavs win either way.
Fucking THIS. Are we fucking serious right now? Lebron playing overseas? Lol are you bored COA?Laley23;1739045 wrote:. This is the most retarded discussion ever.

Lebron was just in a movie where he made a reference to loving Cleveland. He's not leaving.

I'm just not convinced it wouldn't consider playing elsewhere the way you guys are. $$$ is a great equalizer

HIGHLY unlikely I agree, but if LBJ left I wouldn't be shocked if it were for Overseas team.
Yeah nice cherry pick fail there dummy. I didn't say it, LBJ did several yrs ago. All I'm saying is possibility LBJ isn't playing as a cav next season is greater than 0%SportsAndLady;1739092 wrote:Yeah, you definitely didn't say that...
Nice backtrack dumb dumb. Maybe that sun out there in San Francisco is getting to your head.

lol at you knuckleheads (esp S&L and Durkie, 2 brothers....hmmm) getting your panties in a bunch.
Yes let's keep comparing the offseason of when lebron left to this offseason. They're completely the same. Yep.Commander of Awesome;1739105 wrote:WAH I don't want LBJ to leave, and will use vague BS shit like "Everyone will hate him!11" to justify my response! Never mind that he hasn't signed, everyone hated him then they didn't LAST time, and purposefully gave himself as much leverage as possible in case he decided to leave. Chances are low, yes but to even consider it, means you're a fucking idiot!11 /S&L+DeyDerpie
