08:07 AM ET 03.21 | In Cleveland, where the Heat managed in dramatic fashion to extend their streak, a countdown, somewhat inexplicably, is on. [LeBron James] may be just 15 months from free agency again, which means that Cavs fans can dream again -- dream of the return of the Ohio native who wore the wine and gold Cavaliers uniform from 2003 to 2010. Yes, 2014 could be 2010 all over again. ... Going into next season, it will be fairly obvious, just as in 2009-10, which teams are plotting to make a run at James. While teams cannot talk publicly about players on other rosters, their intentions are often well known. In addition to the Heat, three teams are mentioned most often as potential bidders: the Cavs, Lakers and Bulls.

the people of Cleveland are addicted to heart break. Why set yourself up for yet another let down?

The super friends are opting out to resign longer deals for less again.
Wade has T-mobile, Gatorade, a 10 year contract for 10 mil, Bron has NIKE & his soccer team, not sure what Bosh has but due to teaming with his buddies he has a ring!
Money is no issue for these guys, who are all about winning....

How much is less?
Bosh is making more this season and he made more last season than he did his last 3 years in Toronto.

"... money is no issue ... "

In the NBA, the top guys have never taken huge paycuts.

Wade will likely take the biggest paycut starting at 12 mil, Bosh may get 14, while Bron gets 14.5...
That's not bad, then you consider the fact they'll be able to spend the MLE on a free agent...
Dorell Wright should be resigned(who will replace Miller), likely for 3 mil to come back to Miami, soon Battier needs to be replaced, Haslem is aging faster than I thought....

They played the Cavs dude. Without Irving, Waiters and Varajeo Cleveland is no better than a D league team.

If Riley can sign Bosh, Wade & James for $10M / year (each) or less -- he is a genius.

You almost have to feel sorry for the fans (I said Almost) - They played well and was blowing them out the water before the hammer came down..... Sort of like the FN hammer....B A M....

I doubt they sign FOR 10 it's not realistic.
I say 12-14...

Don't feel sorry for them. These same fans called LeBron the Chosen One and put his ugly face on buildings. Then when he made a business decision they burnt his jersey.


STUPID
