Insider: James would only take a pay cut for Lakers if they land star with full mid-level exception

On June 30, it was reported that LeBron James would be willing to take a pay reduction to help the Lakers sign high-quality free agents on lower contracts.

According to insider Chris Haynes, here’s the context:

“For the Lakers to have space for a full mid-level exception, James would have to take a $16 million pay cut. That’s a significant amount, and while I know James earns a lot off the court, it’s still a substantial sacrifice for someone who will be 39 years old. But to clarify, what would make James consider this isn’t just the Lakers signing two random mid-level exception players to minor upgrades. From what I understand, it would need to be an All-Star level player or someone close to that caliber willing to accept the full mid-level exception, which would also involve a pay cut for that All-Star. It wouldn’t be about regular role players; it would require a player capable of significantly upgrading the roster. I can mention some names, players who might fit this description: Klay Thompson, James Harden – let’s start with those two.
