Stephen A. Smith says LeBron just took a $40,000,000 pay cut to leave the Lakers and compares him to Michael Jordan being underpaid in Chicago "You're a superstar in this league getting paid $50 million. Luca comes in, they immediately hand him the franchise. He feels dismissed and disrespected to some degree. Then you ask him to be a third option, deferring to Austin Reeves" "You're talking about him taking anywhere from a 30 to a $40 million pay cut" "Y'all got to remember the Chicago Bulls underpaid Jordan for years. And then the last two years of his career in Chicago, he got 30 and 33 million respectively" "You even had people around the league like Pat Riley and others saying that every team should chip in to pay Michael Jordan and that cap constraints shouldn't apply to him because he's meant so much to the financial backbone of the league"
