The media company run by James' agent Ritchie Paul advocates that James will not cut his salary and will get every penny he belongs to, but is also worried about affecting the strengthening of the Lakers' lineup. The full text of the social media post is as follows:

"LeBron James just won the honor of the NBA's best team at the age of 40. He is still the top ten players in the league and has a top salary. He deserves $54 million in the 2025-26 season.

But... Can the Lakers bear it? Since the nearly $200 million contract has been locked, the Los Angeles Lakers have a very high salary space this summer Limited. They can only rely on taxpayer middle class exceptions and veteran base salary to supplement the roster that has just been eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves 😬

In contrast, Tim Duncan cuts a significant salary in the last few years of his career to help the Spurs strengthen the depth of the roster and stay competitive. This move really worked. They built a roster that dominated in 2014. Will LeBron make a similar sacrifice give the Lakers a real chance to win the 18th title? Or, should a legend get every penny he deserves? #NBA#
