if miami signs Wade, they have ~$27M in cap space. if they move beasley for absolutely nothing they have $32M in cap space. still short of two maxes. if they buy out james johnson then they get to max cap room for two new guys + wade. but the only other guy on their roster at that point is mario chalmers.

Lebron would be a total idiot to sign onto a team with THREE max guys. That setup would actually hinder his chances at multiple chips. He ain't no foo. He realizes that he needs one "Pippen" and a bunch of solid role players. IMO, the NYK have the best complementary players for his needs. And NY certainly has the best exposure and reach.

He's coming. Nothing else makes sense. He may decide to do a player option after year 3, and then re-evaluate (i.e., in order to keep Jay-Z and BKNY as a possibility). But if he's winning here and we re-up him with a new max, logic says he stays a Knick and establishes his legacy here.

i have no idea what logic suggests as the best path anymore. chicago makes sense. new york makes sense. who freaking knows.

is they move beasley they would supposedly have enough cap room but they would have like 6 players under contract lol. beasley and chalmers are the only 2 players the heat have under contract for next year besides rookies.

STFU Stephen A. I should've never shook your hand at the draft. Telling me firing Isiah is a big reason why we wont get LeBron? LMAO. Okay, then he can go **** himself then. Isiah sucked ass. There was no point in keeping him around.

If Lebron and Bosh go to Miami with Wade, they are going to rape and pillage the NBA for years until at least one of them gets hurt.

It will never happen. I just can't see Bosh taking third seat and being okay with getting 12 points a game or less because he gets no touches.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Agreed! For that and many many other reasons.
