Dumb question: I'm LeBron and I want to go to Houston. Other than the pride issue, how much does my salary mean to me? In other words, am I making so much in endorsements that I don't really care?

I don't think it is a question about needing the money as much as holding the team to a high standard. Lebron took less than the max to go to Miami and then watched the owner pinch pennies and let valuable members go which in Lebron's mind cost them that 3rd title in his last year there. He doesn't want to make that mistake again, which is also why he won't sign long term contracts. He is keeping the pressure on by taking max contracts at short years.
