CBS famous reporter: I don t think James will accept the basic salary. If he is willing to return to the Cavaliers, it is a reasonable choice.

CBS well-known reporter Sam Quinn updated his social media and talked about the recent updates of Lakers player James.

Quinn said: "I don't think James will accept the veteran's basic salary. I really can't understand the statement that 'a team is willing to sign James with the veteran's basic salary'. If he is really willing to get the basic salary, why should he play for a team outside of Cleveland?"

"For example, if James is willing to accept the basic salary one day, going to Cleveland is a reasonable choice. It is his hometown and returning will be a very inherited scene. The Cavaliers have All-Star players in almost four positions. And he is in the Eastern Conference! If salary is not a consideration, he has no reason to choose Dallas, Golden State or elsewhere. "

" If I had guess James' salary in 2026-27, I think it would be about $25 million. This would be a salary cut, and he would be more picky about the team's choice (although it's likely to be a one-year contract with the Lakers). But I think it's crucial for him to get a decent salary figure, which makes even more sense than the actual cash.
