    Lebron/Irving/Waiters. Is there really enough basketballs to be had with those three players? Are either Irving/Waiters consistent three ball shooters? Will YOUNG players who don't know what it's like to WIN be willing to take lesser roles to play alongside the best player in the game today? Or will they be thinking... They need to make a name for themselves...?

    I highly doubt those three players could co-exist.

    Lebron/Wade/Bosh all understood one player isn't going to get consistent touches and will have to be more of a spot-up-shooter. ala Bosh.

    I like how a majority of the world wanted him to lose. Nobody outside of star fuckers like Drake and the rest of the millionaires club actually like him. The hate is real, and it's awesome.

    Well I think we will see this summer what happens maybe all three opt in and try again with the same core and then if they fail blow it up in 2015 where Lebron can pick who he wants to play with.

    By then he could go the LA with Love and Marc Gasol joining Kobe and Marcus Smart to help Kobe win one more. Or to New York and try and bring a title to the Mecca known as MSG.

    So much hate. smh

    He's staying in MIA, and given how weak that conf is, he's getting back to the finals regardless if Melo joins him or not

    Lebron and Bosh opt out. Sign lesser/smaller deals and allow enough room for Melo to sign there too. Wade isn't factor as father time has caught him.

    Wade's a factor if he doesn't opt out. 20 million next year makes him one.

    I have no idea where, but NY would be the best fit for the league. The league is better when the Knicks are relevant

    Yep, the wildcard here could be what Lebron decides to do, If he ops out CLE could be a front-runner, but IMO that would pretty much force them to trade the #1 for the best player they can get to help entice Lebron to come back. That would likely be LMA or Love, so Lebron opting out could certainly make things a bit more interesting

    If he opts out, it could also mean that he's going to restructure his contract to allow them to sign more players in Miami.

    Maybe, but Wade looks pretty done with those knees and Bosh didn't do much either, I think Lebron could realize the Miami run is done.

    I'm hesitant to count DWade out. If Manu can reinvent his game from last summer into an extremely productive player again this year, there's no reason Wade can't do the same. Maybe it's my bias speaking since he's one of my favorite players in the league, but I think he has a lil more to offer in the few years.

    He really needs to develop that 3pt shot and refine his postgame. Lessen the burden on those knees and he should be good to go.

    From what I know Manu (and observed) does not have the knee issues Wade does, Wade can play but not at a very high level anymore, he is now average

    Yeah one would think he is done this time around. But then it looked liked he was done six years ago when he was just a shell of himself for two years after knee surgery, and he bounced back. Could he do it again? You would think there is no way.

    Lebron single handed re-forms the Seattle Supersonics.

    i cant stand him, but if he went back to the Cavs i'd hate him a little less.

    just for that decision bullshit he put the fans thru. sigh.

    I'm sure Wade will travel to Germany to have his knees worked on

    Worked for Kobe. He looked like he was on the decline.

    Then he had one of his best seasons in years at age 34 before rupturing his Achilles
