How does it affect other players? It doesn't change the salary cap. If anything it puts LeBron James on a better team and thus that team makes the finals and competes for a title and that grows the league revenue pie.
I don't think a 34 year old on his last deal taking less is that big of a deal. Does Brady taking less affect other players?
I think the point I raised is the biggest roadblock. Brady was still always the highest paid in his locker room, can LeBron take 20 and make less $ than Julius Randle and Playoff P, then Ingram in 2 years? Seems like a tough hurdle.
