In news that doesn’t surprise, LeBron James has opted out of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to ESPN‘s Chris Broussard.
There is the possibility James will sign another two-year deal with a player option after this one to maximize his NBA earnings as the NBA salary cap is expected to rise to $108 million in the 2017-18 season, according to DraftExpress‘ Jonathan Givonny.
This year, James could seek a long-term contract as well. As he approaches 32, capitalizing off of bringing a championship to Cleveland in historic fashion and his individual dominance along the way could be his best move.
