American News: James is worthy of the maximum salary for the second team. If the salary cut is to help the team rather than to stop being top-notch

Lakers forward LeBron James has a $52.6 million player option next season. Today, CBS reporter Sam Quinn talked about James's options for next season:

"Will anyone say LeBron not worth the maximum salary? He was just selected for the second team of the NBA All-Squad this season, and there is no doubt that he is a maximum salary player. The core reason for the salary cut is the current situation of the team. The Lakers are still far from winning the championship. If you want to win the championship, the only way out is LeBron's salary cut, not because he is not a top player."

James played 70 games this season, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, 37.6% of three-pointers, and 78.2% of free throws.
