June 24, 201412 yr Force the Heat into what he wants. -Commit to spending over the luxury tax and restructuring Wade at a much lower amount. I thought Wade just took less money over 4 years. You talking make Wade take even less?
June 24, 201412 yr He has to opt out to say that? And in order to get more help he has to take less money. Same for Kobe in LA. You think Lebron needs more money? He makes more from Nike than the NBA or close to it I bet.
June 24, 201412 yr I think Lebron won't take a max deal anywhere b/c it makes him look better and gives himself a better chance to win titles.
June 24, 201412 yr Probably my favorite NBA archive thread ever: http://bluegrasspreps.com/national-basketball-association/lebron-announce-decision-206048.html
June 24, 201412 yr As much crap as I've given LBJ over the years, I would LOVE to see the Kobe/Lakers haters squirm if he went to LA. :lol2:
June 24, 201412 yr You think Lebron needs more money? He makes more from Nike than the NBA or close to it I bet. I know. That's why I don't understand why he would opt out and return to Miami. That's the only way he makes more money. It doesn't make sense to opt out and take less money to stay.
June 24, 201412 yr Author I thought Wade just took less money over 4 years. You talking make Wade take even less? Wade, due $41.5 M over next 2 years. I haven't seen anything new for him yet?
June 24, 201412 yr I know. That's why I don't understand why he would opt out and return to Miami. That's the only way he makes more money. It doesn't make sense to opt out and take less money to stay. Lebrons covert way of saying Wade is done give me someone else.
June 24, 201412 yr Force the Heat into what he wants. -Commit to spending over the luxury tax and restructuring Wade at a much lower amount. I think they have been spending over it for the last few years already...according to Riley
June 24, 201412 yr Author I think they have been spending over it for the last few years already...according to Riley They have been but Lebron probably wanted some leverage. I can't blame him.
June 24, 201412 yr Wade, due $41.5 M over next 2 years. I haven't seen anything new for him yet? Wow.
June 24, 201412 yr Author I thought Wade just took less money over 4 years. You talking make Wade take even less? There was a report out about a rumor but I didn't see anything official. The rumor was 4 year $50-55M. I guess we will see.
June 24, 201412 yr Big 3 owed $60Million plus each of the next two years...The NBA issued new projections for the 2014-15 salary cap and luxury tax thresholds. The 2014-15 salary cap is now projected to be $63.2 million and the tax level is projected to be $77.0 million...that doesn't leave much room for any substantial help. Opting out and taking less by all three could free up an extra $15-20M to go after another stud player
