Lakers superstar LeBron James' new two-year contract is roughly $2.7 million below the $104 million maximum he was eligible for, a move made to aid Los Angeles' future roster construction, ESPN reported late Saturday night.James, 39, signed a $101.35 million deal on Saturday that will include his 23rd season—the longest career in NBA history—and helps the Lakers avoid salary cap restrictions down the road.This marks the second time James has taken a pay cut.
Per the report, the Lakers will avoid the second apron by $45,000 with James' salary, thus allowing the team to include its 2032 first-round pick in a deal next offseason. If they hadn't avoided the second apron, the Lakers would've had that pick frozen from any trade possibilities for a salary cap violation.
