Wat hij nog wel even moet doen is een nieuw contract tekenen...maar alhoewel het om een allemachtig grote hoeveelheid geld zal gaan, denk ik dat het voor hem een kwestie is van even nadenken, wat laten onderhandelen en tekenen -'as simple as that- voor iemand die met een pennenstreek vele miljoenen dollars weggeeft om vele niet welgestelde jongeren in zijn streek naar college te laten gaan en die aan endorsements ook ieder jaar vele tientallen miljoenen bij kan schrijven, zal de laatste dollar uit een nieuw contract peuren niet de belangrijskte reden zijn om 's nachts wakker te liggen...

Heel grappig vond ik de post op Fansided (van Sports Illustrated), van een hardcore Chicago Bulls Persoon:
Quotes uit het onderstaande artikel:
"Simply put, LeBron has been player, coach, and GM with the Cavaliers..."
"LeBron’s arrival would give the Bulls one of the best small-ball lineups in the entire league in Rajon Rondo, Wade, Butler, LeBron, and Robin Lopez.""
" As it stands, LeBron already shares some significant milestones with Jordan, but if there’s one thing he’s never been able to chase him in, it’s franchise records for the Chicago Bulls"
"And you know he’s motivated as hell to do that after Jordan picked Blake Griffin over him to star in Space Jam 2.
How amazing would it be if LeBron broke, among other things, Jordan’s points in a single game record (69) at this stage in his career? The good folks over at 30 for 30 couldn’t write something that inspirational."

Maar dit is alvast de uitsmijter:
1. Cleveland sports can’t have nice things
Just this past season, LeBron went from having people write that he is irrelevant to leading his team back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the best regular season team in history. Even though everyone knows what he’s capable of, LeBron James’ value has never been higher than it is right now, which is why he still hasn’t re-signed.The Cavaliers are fully prepared to give him all the money he needs, but Cleveland sports can’t have nice things. We already saw that when the Warriors got Kevin Durant right after losing to ensure that they never win another championship again.
And it’s not just the Cavs. Stipe Miocic won the heavyweight title, the Lake Erie Monsters won the Calder Cup, the Cavs won the Championship, the Browns quarterback jersey was retired, Believeland got updated, and the city of Cleveland got a parade all in the span of less than two months. It’s all downhill from here, especially now that the Browns are getting set to start the NFL season.
Because while the sports gods decided to smile on Cleveland for a change, it won’t take them long to remember that this is Cleveland, and the proudest achievement that they can boast is that they’re not Detroit. So not only does moving to Chicago make more sense for LeBron basketball-wise, it makes more sense for his life in general.
After Cleveland just went through the best month in their history, they are long overdue for an overcorrection. And while LeBron goes to Chicago to chase Jordan, the city of Cleveland will get a crying Jordan.

Wat natuurlijk wel weer erg leuk wordt is het debat over wie nu echt 'de Beste Ooit in de NBA' is (of kan worden). Steph Curry moet toch nog even in de wachtkamer, want LBJ is 'King Once More'!
