ummm J, when the hell did the knicks get a better owner? don't be misled, once we are good again he is gonna stick his fat face into team affairs again.
Why dont people mention Dallas as a player in the LeBron sweepstakes?

I read somewhere that Artest and Ariza signed the same contract but since Ariza is in Houston he'll net 5M more over the course of the contract. And that's just on a MLE contract.

By the time you factor in how much extra LeBron would make by staying in Cleveland, I wonder what the difference is between a max deal in Dallas/Houston/Miami and a max deal staying in Cleveland...
Not that I think it's gonna happen, just curious how much difference there is in REAL dollars...

IMO, if you want to go GLOBAL, you don't start from Texas...

I dont see why you guys think this is so out there. They're definitely a dark horse...
And that state tax thing is serious. LeBron would make so much more money, assuming its true td+hat state tax isnt withheld. I dont know anything about tax laws out of MA, so im just taking OPs word.
Kidd+LeGod running the ball up/penetrating+Dirk on the kick outs...

times that by 6 and you have 12 million over the life of the contract. assuming he doesnt arready claim a Houston or Dallas or Miami home as his main residance.
also that 40 million estimate is including his other money making deals and ventures.
Dirk it doesnt make money sense to leave Cleveland. Even in NY he isnt making an extra 5 million a year. arent the max contract terms for a player with his service
6-100 7-134?

Something along those lines...
I'm just saying, state income tax rates at his bracket in Ohio are what, 6%?
So say, 6/$100M in Dallas/SA/Houston with no state tax, or 7/$134M in Cleveland with a 6% hit for state taxes... Everybody knows about his mansion in Akron, he's not getting away with filing another state as his main residence...
I just wonder by the time you factor that in, if the net monetary difference is really that significant...

This is why I think its actually an option he'd be a fool to not explore....Everyone says NY has the big media, mecca etc...I think Dallas can offer the same thing if not more...Dallas is a great sports town and the Cowboys are known as America's team, where an above avg QB like Tony Romo can become a tabloid star..LeBron in Dallas would even be a bigger deal than the billion dollar stadium...LeBron's star power would automatically put the Mavs as the favorite in the west conference, more matchups w/ Kobe and the Lakers and make the Mavs just as popular if not more popular than the Cowboys...
If (big if) he signs w/ Dallas I can guarantee you Jones and Cuban will work out some type of deal where a Mavs/Lakers game will be played @ Cowboy stadium to break the NBA regular season attendance record..

No not even close. Just on the contract, (Im going to make it base pay comp just for this math)
19.2 on average and to state income taxes he loses about 1.15 million
6 at 100 averages to 16.6 it really wouldnt make sense.

He'd be playing on a team w/ the greatest international basketball player in NBA history...even though he's already as global as you can get, you'd have arguably the best player in the world and the best european player on the same team...that's pretty global IMO...
That factor is interesting cause Tmac is a global superstar cause of Yao
The only players interms of global support on Lebrons level are Yao, Tmac and Kobe. But if Lebron thinks Dirk does something for him he will consider it.

I don't think he wants to go somewhere for 'instant playoffs' - he already does that. He'd be starting again with a terrible team - who didn't sign anyone good so they could give him a max contract. That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Sure, he'd make the Knicks/Nets a whole lot better - but they'd still be average. Just a team of bums with one All-Star.

I went back and looked... Mainly depends on what he does with his option, which he'll have to drop if he wants to test FA, right...?

Texas passes New York on Fortune 500 list
Texas is king of the hill when it comes to corporate headquarters.
The Lone Star State passed New York as home to the most big companies in the latest list compiled by Fortune magazine.
Texas now boasts 58 headquarters, three more than New York, the previous No. 1, and California, with 52.
Business experts say it's a matter of simple economics – Texas attracts companies with its low taxes, affordable land and large labor force.
"Cost is overwhelmingly the No. 1 driver," said Albert W. Niemi Jr., dean of the business school at Southern Methodist University, who wrote his doctoral thesis about companies leaving the Northeast for the Sun Belt 30 years ago.

I can't believe u people are actually breaking down the amount of money he would earn going to dallas based on state tax
money is not a OPTION if he comes to NY his NBA salary would be his strip club money
he comes to NY lebron would have a net worth of a billion dollars by the time he retires
