LeBron Takes Pay Cut to Join Sixers | Philadelphia 76ers News

LeBron James shocks the NBA by signing a two-year, under-eight-million-dollar deal with the Philadelphia 76ers — the largest salary drop in league history, slashing $48 million from his previous Lakers payday. Forced by cap constraints, Philly waived Dalen Terry and used part of their bi-annual exception to make room. LeBron’s move, reportedly driven by chemistry with Tyrese Maxey, signals a bold gamble on contention over cash. With a player option for Year 2, he’ll decide by June 2027 whether to return — and while his billion-dollar net worth makes the pay cut negligible, his focus appears to be on finishing his legacy in Philly.
