XBSIndex“LeBron James took a huge pay-cut to join the Sixers”
What they posted
Amazing move by @KingJames to leave @Lakers after 8yrs for @sixers . He’s 41, has nothing to prove, but is taking a huge pay-cut to try for one more Title with a different team. So admire this spirit and decision. Good luck, LeBron, and thanks for all the great Lakers times. https://t.co/fkWVFqJknR
Why it's Truth
The Athletic, Reuters, BBC, New York Post, Sporting News, HoopsHype and Spotrac all confirm LeBron signed a ~$8M/2-year veteran minimum deal with the 76ers after earning $52.6M with the Lakers in 2025-26, with the pay cut repeatedly called historic; NBA transaction log verifies the signing.
