500 million annual salary! James will not consider salary cuts next season, the best in history!

The Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and faced pressure to reorganize during the offseason. Rumors are that LeBron James, 40, will not ease the team's salary space by cutting it. US media The Athletic reported: "If James continues to stay with the Lakers, league sources pointed out that he will not consider the salary cuts that he would not consider last year. Last year, James cut his salary by about $2.7 million, leaving the Lakers' salary before the second luxury tax check."

Last year, James was willing to consider further substantial salary cuts of $15 million for specific stars, including James Harden (now on the Clippers), DeMar DeRozan (now on the Kings), Klay Thompson (now on the Mavericks), and Jonas Valančiūnas (now on the Kings). However, the Lakers ultimately failed to get these players, but unexpectedly got Luka Dončić from the Mavericks trade midway through the season.

James has been in the NBA for 22 years. In addition to being the first in history in terms of career scoring and other data, his total salary income of $528 million also set a record. If he doesn’t cut his salary next season, his total salary will reach $581 million.

The total salary of his career is also extremely high. Kevin Durant (now with the Suns), with a total salary of $447 million; Stephen Curry (now with the Warriors), with a total salary of $410 million; and Chris Paul (now with the Spurs), with a total salary of $400 million.
