LeBron James Wants A Nine-Figure Deal

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, LeBron James’s goal is to sign a multi-year extension for $60 million per season. He wants a contract that has nine digits.

It is unknown what LeBron will do with his $51.4 million option, but both the Lakers and their superstar want to continue their partnership.

“I don’t think this is LeBron’s last stand, I don’t think this is the Lakers’ last stand,” Windhorst said on First Take. “First off, I think LeBron is angling to sign a multi-year deal in the offseason with the Lakers that will be nine figures. That will be even bigger than the deal he is on now. Now, whether or not he’s able to finish that deal, whether or not the Lakers want to give him a three-year contract and pay him $60 million when he’s 42 years old, that’s a different discussion.”

The NBA’s Over-38 rule will make it harder for a deal like this to come together, but again, both sides don’t want to part ways.
