LeBron James is going to take the biggest pay cut in NBA history
When LeBron James decided to join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8
million contract, he locked in some interesting NBA history, becoming the
player to take the biggest pay cut ever. After shattering the record for most
points scored in a career, as well as most 1st Team All-NBAs, most All-Star
appearances and most consecutive games scoring double-digit points, the
biggest pay cut in NBA history doesn't quite have the same level of aura, but
even then, it's more history made by the Akron native.
James appeared to be trending this direction for a while now, after multiple
reports came out saying that his next, and perhaps final, free-agent decision
wouldn't revolve around money at all, but around the ability to compete for a
championship and overall happiness. We must say, if that's what James cared
about most, he made a great decision in joining a loaded Sixers squad, one
featuring Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid, with
Anfernee Simons and Dean Wade coming off the bench.
Regardless, James went from making an astronomical $52.63 million in his
final season with the Los Angeles Lakers, 2025-26, to earning just $3.88
million this upcoming season in Philadelphia, for a pay cut of $48.75
million, now the largest in NBA history.
For a player who is now 41 years old and has career earnings of over $581
million, that surely feels like a drop in the bucket, but it's noteworthy
history nonetheless.
James claimed the record for the largest pay cut in NBA history from former
teammate Russell Westbrook, who had held it since slicing $43.2 million (91.9
percent) off his salary between 2022-23 and 2023-24, when he re-signed with
the Los Angeles Clippers. Blake Griffin also cracks the Top 3, having shed
$29.5 million from 2021-22 (Detroit, Brooklyn) to 2022-23, his final season
in Boston.
Another player new to the Top 5 in this distinction, like James, is veteran
swingman Khris Middleton, who signed a three-year, $17.61 million contract
this offseason to rejoin the Washington Wizards. Middleton's new deal will
pay him $5.59 million next season, after his previous deal had him earning
$35.09 million last year, for a pay cut of $29.50 million, now the
fourth-largest ever.
And finally, rounding out the Top 5 biggest pay cuts in NBA history is Klay
Thompson, who took a $27.3 million pay cut from 2023-24, his final season in
Golden State, to 2024-25, his first season in Dallas.
James is now arguably on one of the best value contracts in the NBA, as he's
coming off a season that saw him average roughly 21 points, seven rebounds
and six assists per game. Getting that type of production for a season for
less than $4 million is just about what every NBA GM dreams of. And
considering James will be playing alongside the likes of Brown, Embiid and
Maxey, he'll be able to coast until the playoffs, when he might be needed to
close out big games.
So although his decision was surprising, in hindsight, it maybe shouldn't
have been, as Philadelphia more than likely gives James his best chance at
winning another championship to close out his once-in-a-lifetime career. If
he does pull that off, James would become the first player ever to win four
championships with four teams, a record that would be far more exciting than
that of biggest pay cut in league history.
重點整理翻譯:
史上最大降薪紀錄
James從湖人最後一季的5263萬美元，降到76人的388萬美元（兩年共800萬）
，降幅高達4875萬美元，正式超越Westbrook的4320萬美元，
成為NBA史上最大降薪球員。
降薪動機
James在41歲時做出這個決定，主要不是為了錢，而是為了爭冠機會與整體幸福感。
他的生涯總收入已超過5.81億美元，這筆降薪對他來說相對不痛不癢。
加入費城76人的陣容優勢
76人陣容豪華，先發替補完整，被視為他生涯末期最有機會再奪冠的選擇。
史上最大降薪前五名
1：LeBron James（4875萬）
2：Russell Westbrook（4320萬
3：Blake Griffin （2950萬
4：Khris Middleton（2950萬）
5：Klay Thompson（2730萬）
短評或心得：
老詹這次的底薪選，犧牲真的太大了。 年薪從5263萬美金降到388萬美金
直接殺了將近五千萬美金。
這也創下老詹璀璨生涯又增加一個難以被突破的紀錄。
