Jammin Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 LeBron James and Chris Bosh signed matching six-year, $110.1 million contracts, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher. Dwyane Wade signed for six years and $107.5 million, according to the sources. Sources told ESPN.com's Chad Ford that James and Bosh are scheduled to make $14.5 million and Wade $14 million in 2010-11. Each player took $15 million less over the life of the contract to sign with Miami, but they have an opt out after the fourth year to all potentially become free agents in 2014. The Heat sent two future first-round and two second-round picks to the Cavaliers for James, while packaging two first-round picks to the Raptors for Bosh.

And I'm guessing if there's only 1 or less championships by the end of 2014, they'll all do this over again and sign with different teams. This gives LeBron a chance to redeem himself and sign with another team if this doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I bet Wade took less so the Heat can sign better role players to build around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Its all about sacrifice with these guys like they said last night. Its not about money, or stats, its about having the best team possible and winning a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Wade did it so we enough for Haslem, they are good friends and he wants him back. He also makes money off the court, so it doesn't matter. Even with the paycut Lebron took, he still makes more than he would have made in CLE at the max ,this is due to no state income tax.

You still pay state income tax on road games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well he makes about the same amount, nothing he can't deal with. He took a big paycut, but I don't get why they all didn't sign for the same as Wade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no he would have made 6yr/$125m in Cleveland. About $20m a season playing with CLE. Same with Bosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well, im an idiot, disregard my post. Not really good with salaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Wade is the one who should have taken a paycut since he is the one who didn't have to make any sort of move and is getting the biggest benefit out of this. Anyways, this gives the Heat a bit more than 15M to get a couple more solid starter/depth players, that should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
