LBJ took a $15 million pay cut and his contract is 6 years for $110 million... do the maths, LBJ's was obtained cheaper than Shaq and is worth every cent and then more.

Shaq was different then. Just having won with the lakers
Joe Johnson isn't worth that much but it's Atlanta's fault.

LBJ had the #1 team (W-L) in cleveland and just couldn't get over the hump.
