    The deal was worth up to $1 billion back in 2016 and is based on sales. He has sold all the shoes he is going to sell in Cleveland and cannot beat the Warriors. This and other contract variables make it desirable to join a major market team. Going to a market like LA or NY would boost LeBron’s shoe sales tremendously that he is certain to reach the sales needed to get the $1 billion from Nike. No one publicly knows the exact specifics of his Nike contract, but it is likely that in order for him to get the full billion he must hit a certain volume of shoe sales while still in the NBA. Someone savvy like Rich Paul is not going to let that slip by unnoticed.

    “The payout is largely contingent on sales, meaning there's no way to project what kind of staying power the LeBron brand will have. “

    If getting Leonard brings LeBron James too, you can be damn certain that Fultz’ ass will be shoved in a box and FedExd to San Antonio.

    Yup... this was all about where LeBron and his family wanted to live. It will be interesting to see what they offer Capela and if they go after Cousins. The best thing that could happen would be the Lakers blowing their cap space on inferior players.

    I never expected him to come here so I could not care less. He probably just screwed his "legacy" with this move. Hopefully this is the last "decision" we have to endure.

    LeBron picked up his LAL option.

    Man you're trying to scare the garm.
