Wow I call BS on that. I don't see Bosh taking a "huge" pay cut. Wade would have to cut salary by a ton if that was the case. Or maybe the Lebron wanting max is false.
Looks like Miami may have some cash to land someone decent.

It's not BS. It's already being reported that Bosh has agreed to a 5 year deal starting at $11M this season, and Wade to a 4 year deal starting at $12M this season.
Bosh and Wade would have to take massive pay cuts for that.. I thought Bosh wanted $12-15 million per?
That contract must be somewhat backloaded for Bosh. Why he would agree to take less than Wade is beyond me.
That's racism.
If that's the case, Miami will land a second-tier FA like Pau or Deng for sure tbh.
Bosh really shouldn't be taking a huge paycut. Unlike Wade he could still leave and earn max money on a contender, if he gets a similar figure to Wade he'll be getting hosed.
The reported deal for Bosh is $64M/5. So that would be in line with what he wants. I imagine all three are getting no-trade clauses as well. But indeed, Bosh should get more than Wade.
Bosh would be insane to take such a tiny deal in his prime. He is so disrespected in Miami, gets all the blame when they lose and none of the credit when they win.
Giving up at least $40m, wow. I understand Wade taking a cut, he wouldn't get more elsewhere and needs to ride Lebrons coattails the rest of his career, but Bosh could go somewhere else and win les. Really surprised he's giving up that much.
I mean, the Spurs could make more than $11 Million in cap space without much struggle if they wanted to. Too bad he'd only take that deal to stay in South beach.
With Wade's knees, and Bosh's lack of rebounding, it really don't matter who else they sign. They're not winning next year especially if they face the Spurs again.
I just hope another eastern team improves to the point of knocking them out of the playoffs. Chicago maybe?
I'm sure Bosh, Wade and James got guarantees before they opted out of their current deals so they wouldn't lose a dime in the long run. Everyone is praising Bosh and Wade right now but I imagine they just wanted more years and more money over the course of their deals. And of course, that naturally helps the team, at least in the short run.
I don't. I'd much rather play last years Heat + Lowry/Deng/Pau than a Bulls team with Melo
If Chicago can land Melo and Rose actually stays healthy, then absolutely.
You always need to remember with these claims that unless Chicago with Rose and a stacked roster come back, they essentially get a bye into the Finals. Miami's second biggest avantage after LeBron is simply its la udinal position.
kinda shocked by how much of a pay cut they are both taking. They can resign Allen to lock up their back court and still go get at least one good FA or potentially a couple decent FA with that kind of money.
The team will be better next year when you couple that with signing a few guys to minimum deals that will sign just to play with those guys.
James will only take less than max if he signs with Miami, right?
CHI/WASH/IND Miami, even with those three, will have their hands full getting to the finals.
Terrific news for Miami. As I was watching them get their asses kicked, I couldn't help but think they could really use another overpaid chucker like Lowry to join the team. Lol, Miami isn't getting past us next year unless the Spurs don't bring everyone back. Wade is pretty bad now and Bosh isn't consistent. It will take a lot more to fix what ails them.
I don't care what Miami does. More worried about who OKC talks into joining them.
Jodie Meeks to DET for 3yr/19Mil per Woj. Could be an indication of the type of offer Mills could get.
Mills won't get that much. Meeks had a great year and is a versatile scorer.
