How do you evaluate James 3 year, 100 million contract extension with the Cavaliers?

First of all, from a player's point of view, his asking price is actually normal, this should be the maximum contract he can take advantage of his physical condition in the last ** period of his career, every player is actually for basketball, playing means his own business, many of them players will have a saying, money is money, transaction is transaction! So, from the point of view of the transaction, his request is completely in line with the heart of a player businessman.

Secondly, from the team, in fact, for James's contract, in fact, the Cavaliers are under a lot of salary pressure, basically since James returned to the Cavaliers, basically the Cavaliers' reinforcements are supported at James' request, such as the Cavaliers' Jr Smith, and Tristan Thompson under the same manager, which are all renewed at his request.

In terms of salary, in the words of the Chinese, he has found a good salary for his good brothers, but in terms of overall salary, the Cavaliers have long been locked in the annual salary space, and there is basically no room for operation, and James' contract is basically a major blow to the blockade of the Cavaliers' operating space.

Finally, from the perspective of Zhan Hei, I look down on his salary requirements, basically many people will think that James is a typical agent of Fei's teammates, and he will still compromise his own interests, such as the Dragon King Bosh back then, basically became a 15+10 blue-collar player by his side, Wade has also been reduced many times because of James's maximum salary, and the total salary of his career has been sacrificed at least $1Y, but James has not lost at all, In the late stages of my career, I still didn't think about the team, and I couldn't afford to get such a salary for a long time.

The NBA is home to the best basketball players from all over the world. However, even the top talents in various countries are divided into high and low, and the annual salary of the NBA is the guide to this standard, which cannot be said to be certain, most of them are based on this, so in the NBA, the salary gap between top players and marginal players is very large.

James is the greatest player in the active NBA, having been named an All-Star every year since the draft and has been named the most likely athlete to surpass Jordan in his accomplishments. Everyone knows that James has made consecutive turns, returned to the Cavaliers after winning the championship from the Heat, and led the Cavaliers to win the championship, but lost to the Warriors in the finals last year. James is a very realistic and commercial player, and there are many reasons why he continued to re-sign the Cavaliers after the Cavaliers' loss.

Clause. First, the Cavaliers' current roster is indeed a team with championship strength, and James' basketball career does not have much time for him to squander, only here he does not have to adapt and integrate the whole team too much. Clause.

Second, the Cavaliers' salary to James is definitely not low, and the three-year contract of 100 million is already very high, so from the economic aspect, he also has a reason to continue to stay in Cleveland. Clause.

Third, he is attracting fans for himself, because James walked from the Cavaliers, to the Heat, and from the Heat back to the Cavaliers, which made many people in the city not so fond of him, he signed a contract to make some changes to his character, and there is a chance to fight for the championship, such a deal only makes money. The last point I believe is that the Cavaliers signed Wade, Wade is a good brother of James, James can be said to like playing with Wade very much, and Wade's career can be said to be getting shorter and shorter, and he is also very happy to be able to drink good brothers to play together in the end.

So James' contract extension with the Cavaliers is not as simple as it seems, and it has a lot of benefits for him.

<> James posted on social platforms today that he renews his contract extension with a contract of $100 million for three years.

He said in **: "Guys! How are you guys! I know you're curious to know what's going on with me, so I'll let you know as soon as I renew my contract with the Knights, my hometown! Oh my God, I'm so excited. ”

We'll have a chance to do it again and we'll try to figure out how to defend it. You know, last season was magical, what an exciting moment, it was so memorable. I can't wait to assemble the squad and bring everyone back now.

I can't wait to meet my brothers, oh yes, it's time to bring Jr-Smith back, really! James continued.

James did not say the specific details of the contract extension in **, but it is almost certain that it will be a 2+1 contract, with a salary structure of about 31 million, 33.3 million, and 35.8 million, totaling more than 100 million. This also makes James the third player in NBA history after Jordan and Kobe Bryant to receive an annual salary of 30 million+. (All kinds of players who signed contracts of 100 million yuan this summer, they have not quarreled about their salaries of 30 million next year).

James signed a 2+1 contract, with a player option in 2018. On second thought, Anthony signed a five-year contract in 2014 with a player option in 2018. Paul was signed in 2013 for 5 years, which expires in 2018.

Wade signed a two-year, 47.5 million contract in 2016 and expires in 2018. <>

Will these four people get together in 2018? It's scary to think about.

For James, the league's first man. James is also worth the price, now at the age of 33, he still maintains super high efficiency, after a wave of 12 consecutive wins to lead the Cavaliers to the right track, saying that a three-year salary of $100 million is for James. It's okay.

James is a superstar with top commercial value, and in the entire NBA, the star with the highest commercial value may be James.

The main reason for this is that James is a superstar in NBA history, and many people will even compare James to Jordan and Kobe. At the age of 37, James still has the ability to compete for an NBA championship. It is for this reason that many teams, including the Lakers, will rush to renew their contracts.

For James, even if James can't help the Lakers win the championship again, James can provide the Lakers with super commercial value. <>

James' commercial value is largely focused on off-court influence.

Before James signed with the Lakers, the Lakers' fan market was very bleak at that time because the Lakers were in a state of inactivity. After James arrives with the Lakers, we'll find that James can help the Rockets get back to the fan market. As long as James plays on the team, the Lakers will be the top team in the NBA.

James is able to bring a range of commercial income to the Lakers.

In addition to James' own influence, James' commercial value is also focused on the commercial revenue he brings to the team. When James was on the court, the Lakers were in a state of full fans almost every game. At the same time, because the entire NBA team will launch a variety of star merchandise, James's jersey sales also rank among the top three in the entire NBA.

For the Lakers, regardless of James' own playing ability, as long as they can get James, the Lakers can obtain a series of commercial income through James. <>

Overall, even if the Lakers sign James to a two-year, $97 million contract, the Lakers can definitely make more money from this event if James can stay healthy.

His commercial value is very large, because his strength is really very strong, so it will be like this.

James is a talented and powerful player in the NBA, and he can bring a qualitative change to the Lakers, so he is worth the money when he gets the base salary.

James' commercial value is very large, and I feel that it is immeasurable.

The reason why the Lakers chose to continue to renew James' contract, and it was a two-year contract extension of $97.1 million, was mainly because of James' strength. Although James is getting older now, James is still averaging points, rebounds and assists per game this season, there is no doubt that this data is very exaggerated for an old man in his thirties, at least from the data level, James is still impeccable, and the scoring efficiency is very high. In addition to being able to score, James' defense is still **, but due to age, physical fitness will seriously affect his performance on the defensive end, but even so, there are still many teams in the league who are willing to sign James with Dingxin.

In fact, the value of a player will not only be reflected in the court, but also outside the court, James's commercial value off the court is very large, if there is James, then the Lakers will not lack attention. So even if the contract is renewed with a two-year contract of $97.1 million, the Lakers management will not frown, because this is not only for the improvement of the team, but also to make the team more visible. Just imagine, if there is James, then the team's tickets will not be sold, and there will be a lot of added value.

This is actually an important reason why the Lakers signed with James with a high salary, although James is older, he is still a top star in the NBA, as long as James is there, then there will be a lot of stars to come. Regarding this, we can look at the players who are now around James, whether it is Anthony, Davis, Westbrook, Howard, they all choose to play for the Lakers because of the presence of James. <>

So to sum up, even if James is nearly 38 years old next season, there is no doubt that the team will still complete a new contract extension with James.

Because this season, the 38-year-old James performed very well, and even played the best data in the past 10 years, averaging points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per game, with a high shooting rate. So judging from various data, James can still be the cornerstone of the championship team, and the Lakers will not suffer if he renews his contract in advance for 2 years and 97.1 million US dollars, after all, his influence is already here.

James is now a very important member of the Lakers because James is truly the No. 1 player in the NBA. His total scoring percentage is very high right now.

According to ** report, Lakers star James reached a two-year $97.1 million early contract extension with the team, of which the second year is a player option, the signing of this contract largely represents that James will end his career as a Lakers player, in fact, James and the Lakers contract extension I have long expected, after all, from the current situation, early contract extension with the Lakers is the best choice. <>

First of all, I believe that James' contract extension with the Lakers was decided after careful consideration. There are many fans who hope that James can return to the Cavaliers and end his career where the dream began, but in my opinion, this is simply difficult to achieve, the current Cavaliers have basically determined their own system, once the James team is traded, the team must be completely rebuilt, and build a team around James again, which is definitely what the Cavaliers management does not want to see, and now James is on the verge of retirement, and he is no longer worthy of such a huge sacrifice by the team, so it is difficult for James to return to the Cavaliers. In addition to the Cavaliers, other teams will not necessarily spend a lot of money to trade James and build a team around him, and it is conceivable that James is not as valuable as many people think, and staying with the Lakers in this context is the best option.

Secondly, from the specific details of the two-year contract, we can also see James's inner thoughts, in fact, James himself may not want to stay with the Lakers for a long time, after all, it is difficult for the current Lakers to win the championship, but there is no other team better than the Lakers in the free market, so James signed a short-term contract with a player option, as long as there is a better choice at that time, James will not hesitate to implement his player option and leave the Lakers to join other teams. <>

Of course, the above is just my personal speculation, in my opinion, the current Lakers team is a chicken feather, which is definitely an embarrassing thing for James, who is aiming to win the championship, but now he has no better choice, after all, he can't win the championship if he goes to the weak team, and the strong team doesn't want to hollow out everything to trade him, so James is still waiting for an opportunity.
