LeBron will never be paid enough to compensate for what he’s done for the
NBA, so I get wanting to *at least* get max deals. But Tom Brady took pay
cuts to stack his teams, and it paid off in rings. Worth considering now that
Luka changes the math on LA’s future title chances.
LeBron 為 NBA所做的一切，根本沒法用薪水來補償，所以我可以理解他至少想拿滿頂薪
但別忘了 Tom Brady 當年也為了補強陣容主動降薪，最終換來了更多冠軍戒指。
現在 Luka的加入改變了湖人未來的爭冠公式，或許值得考慮一下降薪。

Colin Cowherd 和 Rachel Nichols 兩位知名媒體人談LBJ的逐字稿
Colin: How about this suggestion? Take a little less.
這個建議怎樣？少拿一點薪水啦
Rachel: Oh, I think you should take a minimum.
我甚至覺得他可以直接拿底薪
Colin: That's what I think.
我也是這樣想
Rachel: So look...
所以你看喔..
Colin: And you and I aren't, hey, telling people what to do with their money.
當然啦，我們不是要教別人怎麼花錢啦
Rachel: No, no. But look, LeBron has felt for a long time that he is at large,
big picture, underpaid. And that is why ever since his first contract in Miami
after that, he has wanted the maximum amount of money. And he is absolutely
right. There is no amount of money that the NBA at large or any team he plays
for could pay him to compensate for what he has brought to the NBA.
LeBron 一直以來都覺得自己「整體來說」是被低估的，他認為自己根本沒拿到該有的價
值。所以從他在熱火第一份合約之後，他就堅持要拿「頂薪」，這個立場是有道理的，因
為不管是哪支球隊，或整個 NBA，都不可能真正給得出他對聯盟帶來的影響所應得的報酬
So he is always going to be, quote, underpaid. But to your point, he is a
billionaire. So how much money he makes in the next year or two is not even
going to put a dent in his grandchildren's, grandchildren's, grandchildren's
pockets.
所以他永遠都會是「被低估薪資」的那個人。但你剛剛說得對，他現在是億萬富翁了
未來這一兩年他再賺多少錢，對他曾孫輩的財富都不會有影響。
And if I were LeBron, the thing you cannot buy with whatever amount of money
you do get in that contract is championship rings. And if you took just the
league minimum and you were, that allows a third really sort of huge
superstar to come in, not only could he win another ring, but if he sticks
around, and there's certainly a lot of talk about the fact that he wants to
now wait to play with his son, Bryce, who still has a year at Arizona coming
up, and there's a couple of years until Bryce comes in the league, he could
get maybe two rings.
如果我是 LeBron，我會這樣想：不管合約上你拿多少錢，都買不到一枚冠軍戒。
假設他願意拿底薪，那就能讓球隊簽下一位真正頂級的第三巨星，那樣不只能多拚一冠，
甚至可能拿兩冠。
而且別忘了，現在傳出他想繼續打球，是為了等他的小兒子 Bryce 進聯盟。
Bryce還要在亞利桑那打一年，再過幾年才有機會選秀，他搞不好可以拿到2枚戒指。
And by the way, that puts him in one more ring, puts him in the Kobe
conversation, two more rings puts him in the Michael Jordan ring conversation.
順帶一提，1枚戒指就能讓他進入與Kobe並駕齊驅的討論，2枚戒指就能讓他進入與
Michael Jordan爭奪戒指數量的討論。
備註
所以現在的排名是 MJ>Kobe>LBJ嗎
