Sources say LeBron to seek Max Deal

So it looks like LeBron is not willing to sacrifice Money for Titles after all. Report today says he is letting his agent know to inform teams that he will seek the full 22.5 Million he is entitled to..

Crazy to think Lebron has never been the highest paid player on his team.

Just when Melo was coming around to LeBroning, LeBron switches up and starts Meloing.

We prob wouldn't have had a chance next season with more Cap room if he opted in this year. Not sure I want him on the Knicks anyway. To much drama and everyone would hate us and root against us

How? He's won two titles with the guy, and has the inside track on re-signing him.

LOL...yeah....just because he wants max salary his first year doesn't mean he can't and won't resign with the Heat under those conditions.

He's got his rings and taken a pay hit once...I don't blame him or see anything wrong with it.

Bron Bron got his titles now he wants to get paid. Was Lebron a single child?

Maybe not.

Wade and Bosh could still be there and they could be trying to lure in someone like Melo to replace LeBron.

Question is, does that team win a ring?

The NBA max is not good enough. Lebron would still be underpaid.

don't believe it until it happens... could be Riley mind games at work here folks

spree2kawhi · Post #19 » by **spree2kawhi** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 7:02 pm

this is really interesting. why did wade and bosh each walk away from the money then? I'm curious to know what's going on there...
