LeBron James will earn $33,285,709 from the Cavs in 2017-18.
He has a $35,607,969 player option in 2018-19, but it is widely assumed that LeBron will decline it and become a free agent next summer.
Will he stay in Cleveland or will he leave again?
"I personally always say he's staying," Durant said a couple weeks ago on The Bill Simmons Podcast. "I told him this. That's me. I feel like he's gonna end it in Cleveland. That's his crib. That's the crib. He run it.
"I'm sure he's gonna turn that into something mega once he's done."
Simmons believes LeBron will join the Lakers next July and asked Durant what he wants to wager.
"I'll bet Fat Sal's ... combo meal, he's staying in Cleveland," Durant declared.

In case you are wondering -- Fat Sal's makes sandwiches and has five locations (the one in Westwood is delicious).
And about the Nets' 2018 first-round pick Cleveland acquired in the Kyrie Irving deal:
"I think they're gonna trade that pick," Durant said.
