crazy thing is we already WON free agency and the tone of this thread has turned into one that guarentees massive dissapointment if Lebron goes elsewhere.

[I Never Lied]

For those of you wondering about the Beasley TPE, it can work with Mike Millers deal.

If you S&T with the Wizards you can get Millers Bird rights and start him at a lower salary equal to of lower than the Beasley TPE. In the end it will reach 30 million because of the 10.5% raises we can give Mike miller from year to year. So in essence the Miller Deal could start at 4.5 Million per year which is WELL under the cap.

Wade 15
Bosh 15
Lebron 15
Miller 4.5
James Jones 1.5
Chalmers 1
Cap holds 3.4

55.4 Million.

AKRON, Ohio - Cavaliers forward and back-to-back NBA MVP LeBron James will sign a contract with the Miami Heat, and James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have known that for sometime, said a source close to the situation.

According to the source, the three stars had planned for thefree-agent drama to unfold exactly as it has -- with Bosh and Wade announcing their plans on Wednesday afternoon, and James following by making his own intentions known on a television program Thursday evening. Once the plans were finalized, LeBron's marketing team arranged for the show, which will be broadcast on ESPN tonight at 9.

The source added that Heat officials are holding a special party for season ticket-holders, in which they will watch James' TV announcement stating he will join the organization. Several news outlets are also reporting James has already rented spots for a party in Miami.

It is believed James became sold on the idea of joining the Heat after being told he will play point guard -- or as team president Pat Riley is believed to have explained, a role similar to that of Magic Johnson during Riley's time as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in the1980s.
