No ifs, ands or buts.
"Dwayne, Chris, Lebron. We value you and hope you remain Heat for life. Whether you choose not to exercise your ETO or exercise it and become a free agent, we want you to know we're prepared to do whatever it takes so that you remain a member of our family, individually or as a group.
You think that's illegal?
CBA:Section 2. No Unauthorized Agreements.
(a) At no time shall there be any agreements or transactions of any kind (whether disclosed or undisclosed to the NBA), express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings of any kind (whether disclosed or undisclosed to the NBA), between a player (or any person or entity controlled by, related to, or acting with authority on behalf of, such player) and any Team (or Team Affiliate):
(i) concerning any future Renegotiation, Extension, or other amendment of an existing Player Contract, or entry into a new Player Contract;
-----
(c) A violation of Section 2(a) or 2(b) above may be proven by director circumstantial evidence, including, but not limited to, evidence that a Player Contract or any term or provision thereof cannot rationally be explained in the absence of conduct violative of Section 2(a) or 2(b).
Case closed.
And as a footnote, the "cannot rationally be explained" does provide a kind of "right mind" test. The NBA could simply say that a player coming off Wade's Finals appearance could not rationally be expected to earn $42 million over the next two years, and/or would not seemingly forfeit all or a large share of that money without an assurance.

so how and why does wade opt out without a FIRM handshake from his FRIEND LeBron ?
could LeBron be THAT big a jerk!??!
Still shocked to see them give up that money, especially Wade. Bosh makes sense because he can still get a MAX deal. So Bosh opting out ends up being smart for him. Wade/Bosh could've not opted out and been left under contract for 2 years, WITHOUT Lebron. They had to opt out, if they wanted Lebron to return. He wasn't going to go through another grind out year with the same roster, too much all on him. All that being said, I think Lebron did mastermind this, and is trying to not be the "bad guy".

Apparently, LeBron will in fact sign back with Cleveland, and Melo is going with him; in a sign & trade deal. Kyrie Irving will be coming back to NY with filler/picks, and Phil will push to either trade for Love by the deadline, or sign him outright in 2015.
Just passing it along...
