    We are getting led on hard. I think Beverly knows he's not coming sadly. This shouldn't be a surprise but I don't understand why LeBron is threatening to approach FA aggressively if the job's not done. It's obvious he's staying.

    It looks like LeBron wants to get closer to Elgin Baylor than Jordan.

    Lebron and Wade: "Yo, Chris we're opting out. It was a great run, but we are going our separate ways now."

    Bosh: "Huh? Really?!? Why?" (Signs with Charolette)

    Lebron and Wade: "Ok Melo, he is gone you can join the club now!"

    15 - Wade
    15 - Bosh
    20 - Lebron
    5 - Lowry

    You think we're out of the running for Love? I hope not, but I think Flip is going to hold on to him at least until the trade deadline.

    The new Woj bomb talking about Lebron wanting a max contract to stay with the Heat would throw a wrench in the works if true.

    More like LeBron 20
    Bosh 15
    Wade/Lowry 10

    That's the only way Lowry comes.

    Wade will probably take 5 years 50 million guaranteed.

    4 more years of a breaking(broken?) down Dwyane Wade and Mr. Jekyll and Hyde!

    Enjoy your seasonally 30+ games off Wade! Enjoy picking up the slack James! ;)

    Outside of them bringing in Carmelo, mehhh.

    What about the rest of the squad's salary? They still need to have a full squad with bench. They may have 55 million free, and correct me if I'm wrong, but last I heard they only had one guy under salary on the roster. They still have to field a whole team.

    Wade was killing it before the finals, people forget fast, he was playing way above HARDEN'S level... It was a big topic in the dish that people wouldn't even argue because of how nice wade was playing.

    The rest of the squad would be minimum contracts.

    If Woj is correct that Lebron won't take much of a discount on his salary, Miami is most likely looking at no more than $9-10M in cap space-- not Melo money, but in the range for the likes of Lowry, Ariza or Stephenson (yeah, that'll happen).

    When you play like 5 games a month you better play good .-.

    He can't do that on the playoffs where you play two times a week

    This playoffs proved it

    I think Wizards will overpay to keep Gortat and Ariza (Webster hurt)
