If he is washed up in 4 years, it will be unlikely he makes $30 million the rest of his life combined, so how could he justify not taking the $$ now? Also, the way the NBA works if things aren't working out he can just demand a trade in a year or two anyways.
As far as Lebron goes, Simmons predicted months ago that he was going to come to LA for a simple reason noone is really mentioning. His son is really good at basketball, and like most parents (even if their kids aren't necessarily good at sports), Simmon's said Lebron probably wants to be able to go to his son's games.
