Lebron 5 year contract, 203 million in 2017

[KG Living Legend]

I mean he deserves it, but wow. That will take him to 37 years old. Tim calishaw around the horn, the that number out there BTW.

How will he ever feed his family off of that contract.

[Who]

I think LeBron would be getting $100 million a year if not for the salary cap.

Sprewell style.

The guy will be a billionaire by the time his career is over. Last season he made 64 million total. Currently his net worth is similar to that of Magic Johnson.

Meanwhile, Matt Dellavedova would be making, like, 100K.

[Forza Juventus]

That's a huge number but he will still be underpaid. Screw the owners they hate when things are fair.

From what I hear their benefits sucks. Company don't match their 401k.

Wow

How is this number calculated, by the way?  To be clear, Lebron isn't eligible to sign anywhere close to a 5 year, $203 contract right now.

EDIT:  Is this under the premise that Lebron keeps his options open until 2017, and then signs a five year deal based upon a projected $108 million cap?  If so, yeah, the numbers probably work out.

[Clench123]

Wait, is this true?  Where is the source?

it is 35% of the salary cap for max contracts. If he signs a long term contract the year when the cap turns to 108 million, then his 5 year salary will be around 189 million. He also makes around 44 million a year off of endorsements.

2017. Sign another deal with a player option then cash in afterwards.

@ESPNStatsInfo
LeBron can sign 5-year deal for $126M this offseason. Next offseason he can sign for $167M and in '17-18 for $203M based on cap projections.

Straight cash homey!!
