ahh, there we go. sulley, your move. the raises aren't factored correctly. and i was wrong, the cavs can offer more than 400,000, my math was bad. here's the nuts and bolts of the deals that can be offered and the totals by year. year 1, the deals start out the same. 17.4 million. year 2, with raise, the cavs can offer 19,227,00, another team can offer 18,792,000. year 3, cavs = 21,245,835, and another team = 20,295,360 year 4 cavs = 23,476,647 other team = 22,426,372 year 5 cavs = 25,941,694 other team = 24,781,141 total cavs= 107,291,176 other team = 103,694,873 difference = 3,596,303 the 6th year, lebron will be making 28,665,571 and 26,020,198 is the least amount anyone else can pay him at this time just for anyone's edification. 3.6 mil over 5 years, when nike can pay him 50 mil to move to new york or chicago. cleveland should be afraid, very afraid. look at all that math you had to do to ultimately prove me right. the king stay the king
