Some reports claim James could make up to $30 million with a new Cavs contract.
James, 31, is expected to opt out of his current two-year deal, which would’ve paid him $24 million next season. He can make around $30 million next season with the influx of TV money and the league’s rising salary cap. (USA Today)
