LeBron James is expected to decline his player option on his current contract and negotiate a new one-year deal with a player option.
Advice: James' current contract with the Cavs is a one-year, $20.64 million deal with a player option for 2015-16 worth $21.57 million. LeBron isn't expected to leave Cleveland, but a new contract would give him a $1.5 million raise for next season and the one-year deals would put him in a position to maximize his worth in 2016-17 when the NBA's new TV deal is expected to greatly expand the salary cap. While we could be in for some more drama in Cleveland, King James is averaging 24.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers over his last five games and is working his way towards a top-5 fantasy finish.
