text:  Like, to me, that's more surprising than anything that's happened this week. Because LeBron famously has said, he's like, I'm playing for the max as long as I'm playing. So the idea that he would take, essentially, a pay cut, because let's be honest, if he wanted the max, he'd get it. And he's still one of the top 15 players in the NBA. And with the salary cap, that's how it ends up being, right? If you're up there, you're up there. Be Paul George, make a 48, or turn down $48 million.
