    Is it jus me or does the best player on the planet taking a pay cut sound ridiculous I know I ain't risking blowing a knee out carrying wade for less money

    Uhhh..the point of him theoretically taking less money would be for us to put players around them in free agency so we don't have to be a top heavy team.

    look at Duncan making 10 mil for 3 years. Still keeping their core team for over a decade and seeing the Finals, easy. Duncan doesn't even need to be the best player on the team, and he's winning. Lebron definitely wants the Spurs' consistency.

    no doubt. That's why he's not leaving now. He'll take a salary cut

    MJ didn't really get paid until near the end.
    He took less money for years.

    HEAT TARGET NAPIER TO LURE LEBRON

    http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/11133418/2014-nba-draft-miami-heat-chasing-shabazz-napier-attempt-lure-back-lebron-james
    The Miami Heat have started the process of courting LeBron James with an aggressive attempt to move up in Thursday's NBA draft, with their target being former UConn point guard Shabazz Napier, league sources said.

    James' agent told the Heat on Tuesday that the four-time NBA MVP will opt out of his contract and become a free agent July 1. The move, however, does not mean James has decided to leave Miami, sources said.

    Both James and the Heat are fans of Napier.

    James tweeted during the NCAA title game in April: "No way u take a PG in the lottery before Napier."

    Heat president Pat Riley, meanwhile, also is fond of Napier. Riley likes four-year players who can come in and contribute right away.

    Right after the NBA Finals, Riley flew out to work out Napier, a Heat source told ESPN.com. After the workout, the Heat tried to convince the former Huskies star to stop his workouts so that he'd fall to the Heat with pick No. 26.

    The Heat, though, are probably too late.

    Napier has been one of the hottest names in the NBA draft the past few weeks, and there's almost no chance he falls to the 26th pick.

    Teams as high as the Orlando Magic at No. 12, the Atlanta Hawks at No. 15, the Chicago Bulls at No. 16 and the Boston Celtics at No. 17 are all seriously considering drafting Napier, according to various team sources. And it's unlikely he slides past the Toronto Raptors at No. 21.

    Moving up in the draft, however, will be difficult for the Heat.

    They have the 26th pick and point guard Norris Cole to offer a team -- but that's about it. If Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opt out, Justin Hamilton will be the only player the Heat have under contract for next season. And the team can't offer Wade or Bosh in a trade until the players officially decide whether or not to opt out by Monday. The team can't even offer a first-rounder next season because the Cleveland Cavaliers have the Heat's pick in 2015 if it falls between Nos. 11-30.

    Will a package of Cole, No. 26 and a first-round pick in 2017 be enough to lure a team into a deal? The Bulls and Celtics have been exploring trade options and could be enticed. Chicago is looking for a backup point guard to Derrick Rose, but it may get stronger offers from elsewhere.


    To LURE Lebron? A team with no assets levereging even more of their future? Does this sound like he's set in stone coming back to you? Aight...lol

    Contrary to Espn reports (Chris ? #ass Broussard) could care less if he comes back. I called him a lame from Akron when he played for the Cavs. He would still be a lame from Akron if he comes back...

    @ESPN_Numbers: FYI: LeBron has 9,760 Pts including playoffs since leaving Cleveland. The Cavs top 3 scorers have 8,287 Pts COMBINED in that span.

    I'd be hurt too.

    Thats the most irrelivant stat Ive ever seen in my life........we already know two of the Cavs leading scorers are Kyrie and Dion. Lebron was in Miami for a full year including a trip to the finals before we even got Kyrie. And he was in Miami for a full two years + trip to the finals before we got Dion. So thats a 3 seasons and 87 playoff games advantage over two of our leading scorers. He should have more points...

    I usually dont respond to comments in cheap seats, cause you ? know nothing about sports. But so many people was so quick to dickride(Cheap seats style), I had to.


    Take that ? out yall mouth..
