LeBron James has signed a two-year deal to remain at the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“Let’s get J.R. done”, James said.
The deal will make James the highest-paid star in the National Basketball Association this season and after that he will become the highest paid of all time.
Since the end of the season, the Cavs have sent point guard Matthew Dellavedova to the Bucks in a sign-and-trade deal, re-signed forward Richard Jefferson, and acquired swingman Mike Dunleavy (Bulls) and big man Chris Andersen (Grizzlies).
He’ll reportedly have a player option for the third year of the deal, per USA TODAY Sports.
Appearing in his sixth straight finals, James was a unanimous choice for MVP after leading the Cavs to three straight wins to stun the favored Golden State Warriors, who won a record 73 games during the regular season.
James, in his second run with the Cavaliers, led Cleveland to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances, bringing the franchise its first championship in 2016 and ending the city’s 52-year title drought.
