LeBron James has been ahead of the curve on contract management for most of his career, and a provision he helped position himself for in the new collective bargaining agreement means his latest forward-looking maneuver could be worth almost $100 million.The new deal, which still must be ratified by the owners and players union, alters the over-36 rule to the over-38 rule. Previously, teams could not sign players to four- or five-year contracts if the player turned 36 before Oct. 1 of one of the years of the deal. By moving the rule back two years, James is in position to sign a five-year contract in 2018 when he is 33 years old, sources told ESPN.James health, the overall player market and other factors make it impossible to know what he might sign for in 2018, but projections show he could sign for up to $210 million if he stays with the Cleveland Cavaliers and signs for five years at the maximum number. Before the rule change, he would have been able to sign for only three years and an estimated $90 million to $100 million less at age 33.James said Friday that the rule change wasnt about his earning power.Im too much of a present guy to worry about what can happen in the future. If Im blessed and able and the game continues to bless me, then well cross that path when we get there, he said. But theres guys in our league now that are 34, 35, 36 that have an opportunity to sign a longer-deal contract, so I think its great for our league.The rule change also could benefit Chris Paul, who would be eligible to sign a five-year contract with the LA Clippers for up to $210 million this summer. Paul would have been able to sign for four years under the current rules. It could be worth up to $50 million more to him, depending on how the deal gets put together.Paul is the president of the players union, and James is the vice president.James took his time weighing contract options over the summer and didnt come to terms until August, when he signed a three-year, $100 million deal. He has an opt out after two years, giving him the option to return to the market at age 33.The primary points of the CBA were being negotiated by the players union and the league over the summer.James also shrewdly took one-year deals with the Cavs in 2014 and 2015, allowing him to become just the third player in history to make more than $30 million in a season. James is the highest-paid player in the NBA this season at $30.9 million.In 2006, James set a trend when he turned down a five-year offer and instead took a three-year extension from the Cavs, allowing him to become a free agent in 2010.The change also favors other older stars who are headed to free agency in their mid-30s, such as Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, who can be a free agent next summer after building an opt-out clause into his deal with the Chicago Bulls.Anthony is also a union vice president.The new CBA also included many provisions that raised salaries of lower-paid players. Minimum salaries, rookie salaries and the midlevel and biannual exceptions all were increased by 45 percent across the board.Retiree benefits were also vastly increased, doubling pensions for players who start taking the benefit after age 50.

In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. http://www.englandsoccerpro.com/Phil-Jones-England-Jersey/ . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. Kyle Walker Jersey . According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. Jordan Pickford England Jersey . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Newly crowned champion Shane van Gisbergen has enjoyed the shortest of Supercars honeymoons, coming under fire from his former would-be boss Betty Klimenko the day after winning his maiden title.The trailblazing Klimenko was due to take on the contracted van Gisbergen at her Erebus team after assuming control in 2012 of the Stone Brothers Racing licence.The New Zealander instead walked with a cloud hovering over his motivations and an unconscionable conduct legal action settled out of court when he later joined Tekno Autosport.Klimenko, who transformed the team by converting the Falcons to Mercedes-AMGs, arrived at the conclusion that the Aucklander couldnt see past her gender.The crew was identical; the location was identical; the factory was identical. Even Ross Stone was still there, Klimenko told Speedcafe.com.Not going into manufacturers, there was one thing (different) that was not about the car and that was me - a woman.I find that to be insulting. I thought it was very, very wrong and very sexist of him because thats all I can think of.If he tells me its the manufacturer ... no one knew what those cars were going to do. They could have gone out and smashed every record - he didnt know. The only thing left wass me.dddddddddddd.Reflecting on the saga last week, van Gisbergen said he had serious reservations about the new outfit, saying he would have rather have stayed on the couch than raced for the new team.He rejected Klimenkos claims outright as completely false.It was absolutely nothing to do with her. I just didnt believe in the program and the way it was going to run, he said.They (AMG) were sending everything over and no one was coming out (to Australia).In my eyes, it was a certainty (that it would struggle). It was definitely the right call (to leave).Klimenko made the allegations after reading the 27-year-olds reflections on the controversial move, which she believed went to her character and reputation.Im trying my hardest to integrate women into motorsport, she said.I do talks. I do everything else and, to have this young man come along and ruin all that with one article, is just not right. You cant do that.After running the elite German vehicles for three seasons without success, Klimenkos team switched to Holdens in 2016, managing just one podium - in Sundays final race in Sydney.
