Riles wont let it happen ... he would off Wade and especially Bosh first ...

he wouldn't have to be charged with double murder. Just threaten to off wade and Bosh would immediately move to uraguay

if Lebron wants to leave in 2014, there is nothing he can do about it

[Brazil]

not saying he will leave

[Clipper Nation]

Holy , this is a horribly written article.... dude's talking out of both sides of his mouth, tbh....

I dont think he owes any measure of "loyalty" to the heat.

I see Lebron, Wade and Bosh all opting out just so they can re-sign at a discount rather than the $20M they're all owed in the 2014-2015 season. The only other players they have on the books past 2014 are Miller, Haslem and Anthony (assuming they opt in). If the superfriends do re-sign at a discount, they can amnesty Miller, keep Haslem since his deal is reasonable, and maybe even salary dump Anthony since it's a small expiring contract. That gives them the flexibility to totally revamp the roster around Lebron, Wade and Bosh.

People don't realize how much the big three want their team to be remembered as one of the most dominant of all time after all the media scrutiny they got. They want to make sure this team wins 4+ championships so there's never any doubt as to whether or not they made the right decision to all sign with the same team in 2010.

They better ing dominate fast cuz Bosh ain't getting any better and Wade is off the HGH to pass the drug tests for next year. They were trying to copy SA or Boston's model because those guys kept continuing being awesome at such an old age. Wade is turning into an Arenas before our eyes though and Bosh is.....

I dunno if Lebron will sign at a discount if he can go somewhere else to a team that doesn't need to be rebuilt and can ink a max deal.

Deandre with the goods. Riley isn't allowing the 3 Kings to breakup. This false hope that people keep holding onto is hilarious.

I agree with this, but competing with this "want" is the individual belief each of the big 3 have that they can/should be the face of a franchise. They all have a ring now, and now they are likely thinking about their respective roles on the team. Wade probably doesn't want to be remembered as a second fiddle, and Bosh doesn't want to be remembered as just an additional piece. Both of these guys were leaders on their respective teams.

It takes more than just getting friends to come together, it takes getting them to stay together through the dynamics of power struggles and accepting where they land on the totem pole.
