$97.1 million for the next two seasons
As reported by ESPN, LeBron James has agreed to extend his (expiring) deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. He thus signs a two-year (with an option for a third year) at an impressive $97.1 million total.
In doing so, he becomes the highest paid NBA player in history with $532 million total. In the new deal, King James will also have a percentage (15 percent) tied to extra trade income. LBJ has made Los Angeles the centerpiece of his business. Staying yellow and purple makes his job, on and off the court, even easier. So, for at least two more years, LBJ will be yellow-purple.
