## Resource

LeBron James just shocked the NBA by signing a two-year, $8M deal with the Sixers — taking a major pay cut to join a loaded roster with Embiid and Maxey. His move sets a new trend: stars sacrificing salary to chase championships, paving the way for teams to build deeper rosters. The Warriors, who were in the mix for LeBron, now face a pivotal moment with Stephen Curry entering his final contract year. Could Curry follow LeBron’s lead, accepting less than max money to unlock financial flexibility and chase a title? The question isn’t just about money — it’s about legacy, team-building, and what it takes to win it all in the twilight of a superstar’s career.
