On February 23, HoopsHype reported that LeBron James may take a massive pay cut next season, potentially setting the NBA record for largest single-season salary drop.

This season, James earns $52.63 million, with career earnings surpassing $580 million. If he leaves the Lakers this summer and joins the Cavaliers for a third stint, he could be limited to the veteran minimum of $3.9 million—$48.73 million less than last season—breaking the current pay-cut record.

Previously, Russell Westbrook holds the largest cut (from $47.1M to $3.8M), followed by Griffin, Thompson, and Love. Whatever the final contract, James may once again rewrite NBA history and become the ultimate pay-cut legend.
