Expected all 3 to take a paycut honestly, in particular Lebron.
when you hear the way Bosh talked about Miami this past year, there was really no doubt he was going to be playing anywhere but Miami. He talked about how great it was to live and play there, and that if he had to he would take less. And from his vantage point, I get it. He's still beyond financially comfortable, and he wants to stay in Miami and be competitive in the process. I get it. He knows his success tied to Lebron not Wade.
As for Wade, I think he also came to a realization that in order for them to retool, 15 Million wouldn't be enough. There's no way he was going anywhere else anyway, so in order for the Heat to be competitive, he would have to take less as well. I understand where he was coming from. He's not oblivious to to where his career is at at this particular point. Ultimately, both Bosh and Wade were not interested in playing anywhere else, and know that if they are going to be successful in Miami they have to 1) pay Lebron and 2) Get some more talent.

i wish you guys would stop "analyzing" the heat cuz youve been wrong at EVERY single opportunity lol. just last week yall were debating where lebron was going cuz u were 100% positive he was leaving. now its, hes staying but who cares cuz the east is getting stronger? and the heat dont have enough $$$? just stop gossiping.
heat are gonna be fine like always. and to those saying wade is washed or trash... understand he still averaged 17 and 6 per game regular season. and 18 and 5 during the post-season outside of the spurs series. and he didnt miss most of the season. he missed 1/3 of the season, 24 games specifically. but again, worry about your teams. cuz 90% of yall's teams havent seen 2nd round of the playoffs alone in years...or ever.
at least let the facts come out for real. havent yall believed enough twitter rumors yet? recover from the last fairy tales yall believed about lebron going to cleveland or wherever lol.

Even without that he's still set for life. He's not close to NBA Player broke, let alone regular people broke. I know that for a fact.

The owners making out like bandits
How is that, when the owners are THE business owners. They put up the hundreds of millions of dollars to make this money to begin with.
It's not hard to understand. It's actually quite common sense. The business owner is supposed to be the one making all the big money. The employees get their respectable amount of money to work. And this applies to all business's, of all kinds, all around the world....the NBA is no exception.
On top of that, these players are getting paid by the 10's of millions
....people need to stop acting like they're walking around trying to figure out how to feed their families.

which one of them are you dating?
i mean damn...
nothing wrong with people voicing OPINIONS and then stating why they have these opinions...
people doing that and stating them as facts are two different things -- be bothered by the latter

Not only are you not accurate in your post, but you are also fanboy praising. I respect your fan loyalty.
Wade missed 28 games (not a big deal) and he averaged 19 regular season shooting 50%.
Which isn't bad (very efficient actually) BUT did you see how atrocious he played in the finals? You're not worried one bit at all? This guy was so *** it almost made the finals unbearable to watch.
Stop gossiping? Dude we're debating facts here and adding our opinion. I honestly don't think this Heat team will ever win again. With an assy finals performance like Wade produced, who's going to up the ante? Bosh? ******* Norris Cole? I give all the credit to the previous Heat teams, but literally these dudes are back to square 1.
This is why I hate the Heat/Heat fans

excuse my ignorance fellas but im pretty new to cap limits and whatnot, but how does the luxury tax work? is there a maximum to how much teams can go over once they're in luxury tax territory?
i'm under the impression that most NBA team owners could afford to pay the luxury tax if they really wanted to sign multiple max contract type players.

People pay to watch the players, not the owners. I could probably name less than 5 owners, and at least 50 players conservatively.
The players association and the owners need each other,and therefore split the pie. IMO, the owners are getting a greater share than I think they deserve. Just my opinion though.

true, they can "afford it" .... but no smart business man wants to pay a $40M fine, for example, in hopes that your team makes a Championship run...
have to a value to success and most owners ain't bout that life....
