LeBron James: The Decision has been made...

James annouced that he will be heading to Southbeach. James will join Wade and Bosh and play for the Heat. The Heat now have pick 4, 5, and 7 of 03 Draft on there roster. Who else is going to play? A bunch of min salary guys, thats who.

Wait, 4,5, and 7? I thought James went 1, Bosh went 4, and Wade went 5...

Well we still have Allen, Garnett, and Peirce so...

Match any of the Boston's Big 3 with Miami's new Big 3 and you'll find that none of them can match up 1 on 1 with them. Not to mention that these 3 guys are still really young (like 25, 26?) and will still be playing top level basketball most likely for at least another 10 years. If they're able to gel together, and I think they will, we're looking at a dynasty right now.

I had my numbers mixed up, you are correct and I was wrong for the first time ever. The Celtics might have KG, Allen, and Pierce, but those guys are a year older. The Heat have the new Big 3. Wait, if the Celts had The Big 3, what does that make James, Wade, and Bosh? I think their nickname should be The Biggest Fuckin 3 of All-Time, do you think that will catch on? Seriously though, they will win the East and probably win about 65 games doing it. This team HAS to win Championships, starting next season. If this team doesn't win and win soon, they will be The Biggest Fuckin Bust of All-Time. No one can say this choice was about money. James left behind a 6 year, 126 Mill contract with the Cavs and Wade and Bosh are both going to take less then max contracts. I think these guys want to win sooooo bad, and money is a non-issue. They were already ready crazy rich before these contracts.

I actually think I'd give them a year before I'd say they HAVE to win a championship. 1 year to gel, then a lot of years to dominate

And where did you read about what their salaries are going to be approximately next year? I don't remember seeing anything on it and I'm a little surprised they aren't signing max deals.

They were saying on ESPN that both Wade and Bosh were willing to take less, to get James. I don't know the exact numbers, but that is what ESPN's NBA insider is saying. The Heat also trade Beasley, but I can't remeber the details.

Ok, I saw it on tv not too long ago. LBJ and Bosh signed for 110 million, Wade for a tad over 107 million (ahaha loser!).

Beasley was (or will be since it's not finalized yet I don't think) traded to the T'Wolves for a second round pick and exchanging first round picks (or maybe the option to do it, not too sure). I'm sure those 2 picks will go to Cleveland in the LeBron sign-and-trade.

^^You are exactly right again. They said that on SportsCenter last night and I forgot to post it.
