  95% percent of the heat fan base has opted out as well making them FAs.
• wildcats20

  

  Bron opting out means nothing. He has to opt out in order to stay in Miami and give hem space to make moves.
• Midstate01

  

  This isn't news. Everyone knew he was opting out. The big news will be bosh and wades decisions. If they opt in,LBJ is gone. Wade opting out means he is giving up money he'll never make again. Probably same with bosh.

  He is definitely considering leaving though. He didnt have to opt out to restructure his deal. Same with wade and bosh.

  That's true, but he sure as shit isn't coming to Cleveland.

  Any chance they opt out to make room for Melo?

  I honestly think melo to Chicago is pretty much a lock.

  Interesting though that lebron chose to make it public he's opting out now instead of the deadline. Especially before the draft. It could get really interesting on Thursday
• Automatik

  

  I'm guessing he did it to put pressure on Riley, the FO, Wade and Bosh. Opting out was expected, now time to see what everyone else does.

  Agree.
  
  Bosh will opt out most likely, it's all on Riles and Wade.

  Why is that most likely? Bosh has the most to lose out of the 3 IMO.
• gport_tennis

  Bosh will get a max or near max deal wherever he goes

  Only an idiot would pay Bosh anywhere near max money.

  I don't follow the NBA as much as some, but is that standard protocol for someone whom, currently, peaks at "high-level sidekick-type...in the right situation"?

  No chance. Bosh is a $10M a year player at best.
