Amidst the endless parade of LeBron James free agency coverage, here's an angle I haven't seen yet: How much will you pay for LeBron?

That's right: you. If your favorite team signs LeBron, its owners aren't going to just pull his paychecks, his luxury suite, his private jet and his new house -- not to mention his wingmen's contracts -- out of their pockets. First they'll squeeze you and your fellow fans for as much extra cash as you're willing to pay to see the best basketball player on the planet.

And as it turns out, that's a huge wad of dough.
