Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 5112186, member: 60"] Two things: Brady’s brand and LeBron’s are two different brands. And, the NFL and NBA are way different. LeBron wasn’t the highest paid player on his own team for a long time. I believe during the stretch where he won four MVPs in five years he was never the highest paid on his own team. At one point, Windhorst reported about how that wasn’t going to be the case anymore. LeBron also owns part of Klutch (I know, I know) and no sports agency is going to have anyone taking a cut outside of a small slice. And back to Brady, I’m not sure if he’d take a cut as frequently as he did if he had to re-do it. As it pertains to the Lakers, I think it’s less the LeBron pay cut and the fact that I’m not sure how appealing the Lakers are to free agents. Playing with a fully LeBron-run team, they just drafted his kid, hired his podcast buddy, etc and they are looking at likely being in the 6-10 seed window at best. [/QUOTE]
