LeBron James has been the subject of trade rumors all offseason, especially as he entered the final year of his contract with the Lakers. At least for now, he's putting those trade rumors to rest. James had signed an extension that will keep him in Los Angeles at least for the next three seasons.James became eligible to sign an extension on Aug. 4, and took just under two weeks to complete a deal to remain a Laker.Despite entering his age 38 campaign, James has shown no signs of slowing down when on the court. In 56 games C.C. Sabathia Jersey in 2021-22, James averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 a sists per game. However, he has exceeded 60 games in a season just once Sonny Gray Jersey since he arrived in L.A., and has yet to play in more than 70 in a season.Here's a look at how much money James will make in his new deal. Wojnarowski reported James signed a $97.1 million deal over two years. The deal reportedly includes a 15 percent trade kicker, which means that if traded, the Lakers would pay him a bonus of 15 percent the remaining dollar amount on his contract. The deal also includes a player option for the 2024-25 season.Because he signed an extension, he cannot have a no-trade clause in the deal, Wojnarowski reported, but the fresh contract means he cannot be traded in the 2022-23 season because the second year of the deal is more than a 5 percent raise.Nate Duncan reported the timing of James' extension ensures the Melo rule clears the trade deadline, which he estimates is Feb. 9.It Bernie Williams Jersey appears the timing of James' extension was calculated so the 6 month Melo rule would extend past this year's trade deadline and prevent the Lakers from moving him this year James had been eligible to sign it August 4. I believe this year's trade deadline will be February 9.
