As a matter of fact, it might end up being more if he stays in NY if you look at a 10 year period. (A 3 year stint, then a new contract for 6 years.)
Problem is, if your plant is Joe Johnson and Lebron, Why trade Jordan Hill. To get Johnson and James, you loose Lee for sure, so you have to play a D-League guy at the 5. (Seriously, league rules will only allow them to pay rookies for those last spots. 2nd round picks or non-veteran free agents! Even a Vet who wanted to come to NY couldn’t!)
