June 3rd News Lakers forward LeBron James has a player option worth $52.6 million next season. Today, CBS reporter Sam Quinn talked about James' options for next season:

"Will anyone say LeBron not worth the maximum salary? He was just selected for the second team of the NBA All-Squad this season, and there is no doubt that he is a maximum salary player. The core reason for the salary cut is the current situation of the team. The Lakers are still a big gap from winning the championship. If you want to win the championship, the only way out is LeBron's salary cut, not because he is not a top player."

James played 70 games this season, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, 37.6% of three-pointers, and 78.2% of free throws.
