Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

With that much money does it really matter? The state tax is alot better in Florida than it is in Ohio.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

I agree but it is hard to prove. The point is players are allowed to get together and do these things and the owners can't. There will be a lockout and things are going to change big time in the NBA.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

Looking forward to it, hope it lasts two seasons. ;) :r

If NBA doesn't go after Miami with some seriously hefty fines, this league is done.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

What can the NBA do besides fine Miami?

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

They have taken draft picks away in the past, They could theoretically take cap room away from them. Forcing them to only give minimum contracts to anybody besides the big 3.

David Stern usually is the man, but I can see him cowering here.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

They should take full action IMO.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

It is terrible for the sport and the league. It would make me very happy to see the league step in, but it won't happen.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

That's what I don't understand. They need to step in.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

They won't. I had been suggesting that the 3 players were in collusion together for some time, and a friend suggested that the League stands to make too much money off this one team.

I disagree. You put 2 of the 3 biggest draws on the same team, thus reducing road gates. Not to mention Miami is the 17th largest market in the NBA, if Lebron went to Chicago or the Knicks he would play in the 1st or 3rd largest market. More money is to be made elsewhere.

I'd love to see these three spend the next 5 years playing with jim the parking lot attendant, and max from accounting due to restrictions placed on the team.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

I'd LOVE to see someone like Lee suing LeBron for chances missed. Lee wanted to stay in NY area and Nets were looking at him, but everything was predicated on LeBron's "decision", which we know now was decided LONG AGO.

The league can and should step in with no uncertainty, limited cap room and no first round picks for the duration of the contracts LeBron, Wade and Bosh signed. Six years. Telling others that in future if they want to play same game, they can expect to stagnate for the duration of their scheme. This is not just tampering, but with 2 different players at the same time with the GM coordinating for months.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

What's the media saying about this? I haven't really heard a whole lot about this.

I'm going to assume that the media, i.e. espn, hasn't said anything about this:rolleyes:

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

This must be what it feels like to be the Yankees. lol.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

Considering Florida has no state income tax, the loss is probably minimal.

I'll be interested to see how this works out as well as who will come off the bench as I don't know who's left.

Although I see Miami probably being top in the East, they still won't beat the Lakers for a while in a best of 7 series.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

The Heat have agreed to play other teams 5 on 3. :)

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

Go Heat!!!

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

And take the Dolphins with you. ;)

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

:pu

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

Not really, brother . . . the Yankees have tradition, and Miami has mosquitoes. :r

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

And the Yankees have bought a whole lot more than 3 great players and conspired to win a whole lot more than 1 title.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

I was going to go on about all New Jersey has but it's the summer and you should really enjoy yourself.

(I grew up in NJ and haven't managed to do a u-turn on I-95 in 20 years)

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

You can have the Dolphins and while you're at it take the Marlins with you too...we'll keep the Heat, at least for the next NBA season...

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

umm, lets see... 15 More Million dollars when your 25 years old? hmm.. yea thats a big deal... lol

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

Uhhh did I miss something. Looks like the Heat are doing what the Yankees have done for 15+ years! Some tradition! :r

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

The heat are picking us some players to go with the 3 huckstateers but I don't see them winning more than maybe 1 title in 5 years.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

With the state tax difference and the fact that he makes more in endorsements than playing ball in the big picture it is not much at all.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 

The signed Mike Miller and the Big Z to unite with Lebron. They must be printing money in Miami.:D
