Aside from his AT&T ad campaign and contract extension, LeBron James has been on the news quite a bit this off-season. Some views are being expressed regarding James’s situation. According to Skip Bayless, James’ “Lucrative” deal with Apple and the Lakers has raised doubts.

Recent reports indicate that Apple is planning to use the four-time NBA champion for its new iPhone 14 series ad campaign. Milana Vayntrub will also be featured in the video alongside him. He mentions in the video how he’s getting some great deals from AT&T.

It didn’t receive a positive response from social media users after that commercial. The video was the subject of many backlashes. Other than that, a lot of discussions took place when the off-season started regarding James staying with the Los Angeles Lakers next season.

After quite a few months, James announced he would be extending his contract with the team. Reports indicate that he got a two-year contract extension that allowed him to earn a maximum salary of $97.1 million.

A number of people opposed him after that, and a number of people supported him and congratulated him. As a member of that crowd, Bayless also expressed his opinion about James’ situation.

As Bayless expressed his opinions on Twitter regarding James’ contracts, he questioned whether the Lakers star actually wanted to win the upcoming season.

“Another huge (and lucrative) national-TV ad for LeBron (with Lily)…yet he insisted on taking the max from the Lakers … Does he no longer want to win???,” he wrote on Twitter.

According to Bayless, the Philadelphia 76ers’ James Harden situation was touched upon in the tweet. It is reported that Harden took a pay cut in order to assist his team in acquiring more good players.

He told basketball operations, Daryl Morey, that his goal was “to improve the roster, sign who we needed to sign, and give me whatever is left over.” That pay cut helped the team a lot as they could sign PJ Tucker to a three-year, $33m contract.

This was a good deal for the team, especially after Tucker had performed well against them in the playoffs. What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments.
