First, I took the square root of the base year compensation and multiplied it times the coefficient of the contract in it's entirety. By subtracting the lesser of the amounts resulting from a quadratic equation thus derived, I determined what the equality formula for the comparison operator would be (X * Y) = (A*B - Z / (Y-D)).

I also included his potential outside earnings (advertising, endorsements, brothels, etc.) I calculated this by taking the number of potential years advertising revenue, and multiplying it by PI and applying regressive analysis.

(X * Y) = (A*B - Z / (Y-D)) + (PI * G / R).

By performing these calculations, I determined what LeBron's total compensation would be. The results are below:

LeBron plays for Cleveland : Sixty million dollars
LeBron plays for New York  : One sack of potatoes. 

Based on these calculations, I think Lebron will choose Cleveland. What do you guys think?

yeah but you forgot to square the PI prior to applying the regressive analysis...

Square the PI? What are you talking about man?

see what i'm saying?

If the potatoes were sliced into fries, do they come with a milkshake?

You rock

What if we offer him some Yukon Gold taters?

Oh BJ sometimes I love you this by far the best thread of the entire month
