MIAMI -- LeBron James delivered his message loud and clear, without
actually saying a word.
Hes willing to leave Miami, if thats what it will take to win more
championships. And what happens next will likely be up to not just the
Heat, but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as well.
Through his agent, James informed the Heat on Tuesday that he has
decided to opt out of the final two years of his contract, a move that
means he becomes a free agent on July 1. He will be able to sign with
any team, including Miami, and Heat President Pat Riley said he "fully
expected" James to take advantage of his early termination option.
"We look forward to sitting down with LeBron and his representatives and
talking about our future together," Riley said.
The Heat have been preparing for this for some time. James, Wade and
Bosh all got six-year contracts when they teamed up in Miami in July
2010, the last time free agency was accompanied by the sort of frenzy
that will envelop the league over the next few weeks. But each of those
deals came with options to leave either this summer or in 2015, in part
to allow both the players and the team to have financial flexibility.
James -- who averaged 27.1 points this past season -- was owed $42.7
million for the next two seasons, though that seems irrelevant in the
sense that hell be getting plenty of money from the Heat or someone else
for years to come. If he stays with Miami, he could sign a deal that
would give the team room to manoeuvr within the structures of the salary
cap and luxury-tax threshold.
So could Wade and Bosh, if they choose to opt out as well -- and if both
do, Miami would potentially have plenty of cash to spend on roster
upgrades. Neither has announced their plans, though both have previously
said they want to remain in Miami.
"No news here yet," Wade said Tuesday.
James stayed silent as well, with agent Rich Paul being the one who
informed the Heat of the four-time NBA MVPs plan. But last week, while
still dealing with the sting of losing the NBA Finals to San Antonio,
James expressed how enticing the idea of flexibility is to him.
"Being able to have flexibility as a professional, anyone, thats what we
all would like," James said last week. "Thats in any sport, for a
football player, a baseball player, a basketball player, to have
flexibility and be able to control your future or your present. I have a
position to be able to do that. ... Theres a lot of times that youre
not in control of your future as a professional."
Hes in control now. He turns 30 next season. He might just be entering
his prime.
James said last week that he, Wade and Bosh owed it to one another to
have a conversation before deciding where to play going forward. It is
unclear if those discussions have taken place.
And while James opting out was largely expected, the ripple effect of
the move was seen all over the sports world.
The NFL, on its Twitter account, posted a photo of James dunking a
football over the crossbar at the stadium his beloved Dallas Cowboys
call home, light-heartedly asking him if he wanted to pass some time in a
training camp while making his decision. And U.S. Soccer, also in a
tweet, said it has a new team for him -- then attached a photo of mens
national team jersey bearing James name and No. 6.
Even hockey got into the act.
"You know, youd be 6-10 on skates," someone posted to the Carolina
Hurricanes Twitter account, in a message to James.
For now, all that seems certain is James sticking to basketball. What
team, thats now up for debate.
Hes been with the Heat four seasons, been to the NBA Finals in each of
those years, winning two championships and winning more games than any
other team over that span. He seems to have largely recovered from the
hit his image took when he left Cleveland for Miami in 2010, often
saying hes much happier now as a person than he was then.
Plus, his life has changed. He married longtime girlfriend Savannah
Brinson last year, and the couple is expecting their third child.
"Players have a right to free agency and when they have these
opportunities, the right to explore their options," Riley said. "The
last four seasons have been historic and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade,
Chris Bosh and Erik Spoelstra have led the Miami Heat to one of the most
unprecedented runs in the history of the NBA."
