Heat: Wade has opted out

[baseline bum]

Something said they can offer LeBron 5yr $130 mil max which 26 mil per year.

$127 million over 5 years, starting at $22.12 million (35% of the cap) with 7.5% raises (non-compounded) is the maximum he can make. I forgot James is now a 35% max free agent and not a 30% one.

Bosh and Wade should take half of James money.

Would you look at that -- Wade still more unselfish than Kobe, even with the flopping and whining that has emerged in his game as of late

Wade: 3

James: 2

He ain't no fool. As long as James is next to him, he can't get ahead of him. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

^ LOL, no . earned the D-Whistle nickname in his 3rd year in the league.

Woj reporting that Bron is going to insist on a max or near-max deal:

After Kawhi ate his lunch.

I don't hate the Heat. Just their garbage bandwagon fans.

What'd you expect---you beat 'em. It was over. Them standing outside bangin' on the door like Fred Flintstone wasn't their fault. It was your fault.

Without James he's light 2

He cooked his goose as well.

Without James he's light 2

& as long as James is holding his hand he'll be light 1.

"I got time. I can turn loose in another 3 years and go get 2 more whilst he's retired."

Grim business if it founders & sinks.

Wow, Miami is really ed if James wants $22 million starting. With four roster spots taken (James/Anderson/Cole/Napier) and 8 cap holds, they're looking at $32.7 million to fill out their roster. So their options are:

(1) bringing the same team back minus Battier and adding a couple of minimum salary guys
(2) letting Bosh or Wade walk, renouncing Chalmers, Lewis, Allen, Haslem, and getting 2 or 3 quality non-star players

[jeebus]

People are getting scared and ting bricks. Miami is not breaking up, and everyone is stunned!

son don't turn into caprisun man

Damn, are they seriously breaking up? I would have never believed it even after 5, but I have no reason to ever doubt Woj and they're in some trouble if James isn't on the paycut bandwagon too.

I doubt they break up. We're overreacting. They have a cakewalk to the ECF even with the same roster this upcoming season.

One has to wonder if James was always leaving...and all of this is just Decision II attention seeking.

Wade doesn't opt out If they're breaking up tbh. Doesn't add up
