Obviously idiotic and would never happen but I genuinely wonder what 1 season+playoffs of LeBron on that contract would be worth on the open market.

They should trade him to the jazz 

I’m trying to imagine how this could happen and the only way I can think of it is that jaylen brown, maxey and wmbiid all get definitive season ending injuries LeBron realises his chip chance is over and is okay with being traded, sixers GM similarly realises he should probably sell high on bron (crazy to say that when he’s 40 something)

Could be worse, imagine letting him walk because you simply don’t want him lol

I mean, I literally can. It’s the trade deadline of his second year and someone is offering you a ton of picks or a young all star. If you’re not 10000000% convinced LeBron is leading you to a championship, you bet on your team’s long term future and fleece another team for a LeBron retirement rental.

Slick they could get a billion firsts from the thunder, which would be hilarious

At just 4 million a year, he’s worth trading for if you need that piece to put you over the top

Bron could very well ask for a trade to cleveland in year 2 to retire there.

I don’t think we’d get much for him, he’s no Paul George /s

Wait til he gets traded to Orlando mid season

Maxey for instance is Klutch. Trading bron without his permission would be suicide for the 76ers lol. They’d never get a high tier free agent again.

Mid season, to the Lakers, it’s on

That will be life changing money for him, I’m sure of it!

Showing son how to be humble

that doesn’t even cover half of what he spends on his body in a year lmao

Or no trade clause

Unsurprising given the current state of the Republic

Anything signed by Nick Foles > both still I imagine for Philly sports fans

If they build a LeBron statue there, at least they’ll have one of sports icon that actually existed next to Joe Frasier.

which leaves the door open for LeBron as well. If Embiid or someone (Embiid) ends up out for the season or whatever he can say “Aye bruh trade me to a contender” and the Sixers still benefit off picks, LeBron doesn’t care if a team guts future picks for him, and the contending team gets a half season of LeBron for picks

Worth multiple 1sts in team merchandise alone

LeBron on $4m is worth nothing because he’d retire before playing somewhere he doesn’t want to be. The only way he gets traded is if the sixers season is completely gone before the deadline and he demands a trade to a contender of his choice.

Maxey would request a trade within the hour via Rich Paul and would get blackballed by Klutch lol

Philly can’t give him a no trade clause because he hasn’t played with them for at least 4 years, a requirement for a NTC.

Lmao imagine if they traded him now, at $4 mil a year he’s probably one of the best contracts in the game.

[deleted]

I believe he gets an implied NTC since that is standard for 1+1 deals

He got us a ring! I can’t even be mad

3 1st? He brings in so much money plus he’s pretty important to their chances this season

he’ll probably make more on the interest gained on his savings account this year than his nba salary

Not even close bro

He’ll be earning less than he was previously paying in taxes in LA

Doubt it. He could’ve signed with the Cavs now but decided he had a better chance to win a ring with the 76ers. I think this is his last deal.

Lebron has never won in the first year with a new team, as long as the team is still promising I bet he stays one more year. But yeah if we get knocked out in the first or second round that’s a possibility.

LeGoodLuckTryingToGetRidOfMe

People say the dumbest shit about LeBron and actually believe them

It’s not too late 🤷

I’m pretty sure the only decent team that could’ve signed him at a max was the lakers. I could be mistaken though. My understanding is he pretty much had to take a pay cut to be able to go to a contender. Although I did expect atleast 20-25mil, not a minimum lol. I guess at that point you might as well go all the way when you’re already a billionaire

He already said he doesn’t care about the money no matter which team he go to this time

Embiid, Brown, etc. have big contracts that take up the salary cap. LeBron signed for the veteran minimum so that they can keep those players and sign him as well. 

LeBron is basically ring-chasing, he’s more interested in winning a championship than trying to sign for his market rate, which is closer to +/- 40 million. 

Players have taken salary cuts in the past but I can’t recall someone like LeBron taking the minimum. 

It’s not about the money. He said it isn’t. He picked the team he thought has the best chance to win a ring. Sixers have 3 max players on their roster.

another record beaten. absolute cinema \O/

76ers didn’t have the cap space to sign him to anything higher.

He’s taking less money to play for a team he wants to be a part of.

He is opting out no matter the outcome. Just the nature of that kind of contract.
