Detroit News - Rob Parker of the Detroit News reports that if LeBron James does not re-sign an extension with the Cavaliers this summer, he will leave the club and sign with the Nets after the 2008 season.

James' $100 million deal with Nike doubles if he plays in Chicago, L.A. or New York.

Cleveland papers reported earlier in the week that the chances of James signing an extension this summer have increased because of the Cavaliers' strong playoff performance.

Chances of LeBron leaving is very low so I dont even know why Nike would do something like that,..

i read somewhere a while back that his current contract has a similar incentive... i dont think it included chicago, and i think it was $10 mil per. regardless, this should be some type of illegal tampering. he could sign with a team in one of those cities for $1 and make more than a max contract somewhere else.
