The value of James’ extension could increase further if the NBA salary cap for ’23/24 comes in higher than anticipated. However, it appears that James was comfortable renewing his commitment to the Lakers despite last season’s disappointing 33-49 showing and lingering questions about the roster. The four-time MVP would have been able to retain leverage and perhaps wield more influence on the Lakers’ roster moves by holding off on that commitment. Because he’s still eligible for a 5% raise on a new extension, LeBron’s 2023/24 salary will likely be $46,698,737.

LeBron James has agreed to an extension with the Lakers, a two-year contract with a player option, The Times confirmed.

In 223 games with the Lakers, he’s averaged 27 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.2 assists. The agreement makes him the highest-earning player in NBA history. The extension was first reported by The Athletic, Stadium and ESPN.

NBA superstar LeBron James signed an extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, pitting him against the Golden State Warriors for a few more years.

The league was surely ecstatic when James left for the ultra-popular Lakers, where the teams could face each other four times a year under the brightest of lights. But a team led by James, with Anthony Davis riding shotgun, is still scary as all hell, and the matchups this season will likely be extremely fun. The

El nuevo acuerdo pone fin a cualquier idea de que James, que ya es multimillonario, sea agente libre el próximo año y que el cuatro veces campeón de la NBA y MVP se centre en hacer más historia con los Lakers. Con el nuevo contrato, el jugador de 37 años alcanza los US$ 532 millones garantizados en su carrera, con lo que pasa a ser el jugador mejor pagado en términos salariales de la historia de la liga, superando a la estrella de los Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant.

After all, with the season fully underway at that point, injury concerns and load management are usually prevalent.

And if Bronny doesn’t make it to the league altogether, James can still maneuver his option to help make the Lakers bigger players in free agency if he yearns to recruit another star in Los Angeles. In his three other Lakers seasons, James missed the playoffs twice and was bounced in the first round in the other. While LeBron-led teams were at one time the best guarantee in sports, the combination of a talented conference and his own mortality has leveled the playing field. As difficult as it is to fathom LeBron not being one of the elite players in the world, his L.A. and LeBron want to maximize the years left on his deal, it has to start with fixing the roster, and Westbrook is the most pressing issue. (The second year of the deal is a player option.) The contract comes as a bit of a surprise as James has at times in his career wielded the power of an upcoming free agency, and he had only one season left on his contract.

With the extension, he will make an estimated $46.7 million for the 2023-24 season. It includes a player's option for a third year, which means that for the 2024-25 season James can choose to extend the contract or sign with another team. Aside from his NBA salary, James' $1.2 billion net worth includes money from endorsements, business investments and his own entertainment production company. Despite James' nearly two-decade dominance on the court, his career earnings have only just eclipsed that of younger stars in the league.
