LeBron James signs with Miami Heat if…

May 14, 2010   by  

Update: LeBron James has in fact signed with the Miami Heat – here’s the reaction and fallout.

LeBron James is considering finding a new home. The Miami Heat are one player away from being a contender. Dwayne Wade is bound to be getting lonely, not having had a teammate in his league since Shaq left town. And Pat Riley seems willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that the rest of Wade’s prime isn’t wasted, whether that involves committing to remaining with the Heat as an executive (which he’s already publicly done), or throwing the Heat’s current head coach under a bus and taking the coaching reins himself – which he of course hasn’t publicly said he’s willing to do, but it wouldn’t be the first time. But if Riley was willing to take the Heat’s reins because he knew it was the only way to guide Wade and Shaq to a championship, then there’s no reason not to believe he’s willing to do it again if it’s the only way to get LeBron on his roster alongside Wade.

Forget all the talk about LeBron James not wanting to come to Miami for fear that he’ll end up playing second fiddle on Dwayne Wade’s team. LeBron will never, ever win a championship in Cleveland. Or in New York. Or for that matter Chicago. And after what he just went through this month, he likely knows that as well. He also knows that he won’t take a backseat to anyone, in reality or in perception, if he outproduces his teammates – and that includes Wade. If it really is about ego, then what better way for the two superstars to each take their best shot at immortality than to play together every night? With LeBron and Wade on the same team, the championship rings are almost assumable, and then the real battle becomes which of the two can shine the brightest on the same court in the same uniform. What more enjoyable challenge than to try to win on a personal level while simultaneously being in the perfect position to win on a professional level?

LeBron James signs with the Miami Heat if he can wrap his head around the fact that it’s best shot to not only win a championship, but to be perceived as a champion. LeBron James signs with the Miami Heat if Pat Riley is willing to make whatever kind of commitment it takes in order to not only lure LeBron to Miami but also to keep him happy. And most importantly, LeBron James signs with the Miami Heat if Dwayne Wade stays there and wants LeBron to come to town as much as the rest of South Florida does.

lebron & carmelo & wade are friends remember 90 % in miami

Next year's HEAT starting lineup: G - Arroyo/Alston/Chalmers, G - Wade, F - James, F - Bosh, C - ???. They're a top 3 seed next year, and they'll win the Finals. And I bet Riley will be back as head coach too.A HEAT fan in Miami since '03 when Wade got drafted can dream can't he? And by the looks of it, this is going to be a reality, LeBron doesn't want to go Chicago living under that shadow of the G.O.A.T.

That would be awesome if lebron went to miami. i live in cincinnati but i still want him to go to miami. D-Wade LeBron & Chris Bosh would undefeatable. my first choice for lebron is to go to miami. 2nd is to stay in cleveland. im a big lebron fan and cleveland fan and im a girl. that would be awesome if they all 3 went to miami. :)

I agree w/ Eric who wrote about a week ago. I think LeBron should go to Miami. Plus, Dwanye Wade said he's not going anywhere. He wants to stay in Miami, he just wants a little improvement to the Heat roster, is all. When/If LeBron "King" James goes to Miami, then a championship is assumable. Especially with Dwayne Wade chasing his 2nd ring in his 8th season. With LeBron to the squad it's over. LeBron 35, DWade 30, Michael Beasley 15, Jermaine 13, Udonis 14. It's over. The Miami Heat have enough salary cap to get LeBron for at least 5-6 years. Does anyone Remember the NBA All-star game in Dallas 2010 this year. Dwanye Wade and LeBron James were unstoppable alley-oop after dish after shot after alley-oop repeat cycle. LeBron please It's a big fan of yours. Everybody knows and hopefully you know that you can't win in Cleveland you tried and Chicago absolutley not, New Jersey possibly. New York no you have to restart be another 6-7years to rebuild the squad. LeBron James go to Miami Heat. Dwanye Wade ain't going anywhere.

This will be awesome. LeBron and Wade will become the next dynasty since Shaq and Kobe. I believe it is best for LeBron to come to Miami, its his best chance to win a title like he says he wants to. Miami is a great city, better than Chicago and New York and Jersey.

it will never happen, i like them both, they are good but it will never materialize.

hahaha you're so wrong....SO WRONG JONY BOY muahahahahhaaa

Theres even talk about how, if the heat can trade away Beasley, Cook, and this year's 1st round draft pick for just cash, we'd have enough money to bring in LeBron, Bosh, AND resign Wade... IMAGINE THAT TEAM!?!? and that trade possibility looks very possible because the team is frustrated with both of those players and Riley will definitely know that he can create that type of tea

Wow, I like how you put this. I have said the exact same thing. I really believe LeBron's best chance to win a championship is in Miami. He has that other star player in Dwyane Wade, which is already better then what all the other teams have. Miami is the best managed in Pat Riley. He has proven himself to be very successful and if he promises to do "whatever it takes" then it's a sure bet that you can count on him. It really all comes down to LeBron wanting to win or not. We'll see if he cares more about the money or any of that other stuff, IF and IF James wants to win, he has no choice but to go with the Miami Heat.

all I read was.. Jordan and Pippen are back and im loving it. I think he should definitely go for miami

the NJ Nets will move to Brooklyn, NY and then change their name to the Brooklyn Kings (Sacramento would be persuaded to change their name to the Sacramento Royals) or failing that they would then be known as the Brooklyn Royals. They will never be known as the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn is also known as ''King's County'' by the way. Lebron will join that team. It's already scripted. Meanwhile, why was delonte west f*cking lebron's mommy ?

ok letsberealistic no single state in America taxes over 50 percent of your salary..lol.. its usually btwn 4-10 in Chicago he'd be taxed about 5 percent NY 8 percent and NJ 9 percent.

If Wade and Bron teamed up it wouldn't be Batman and Robin but rather more like Spiderman and Wolverine. It's 2 stars comparable to one another neither would take a back seat..Why do people constantly think that it'd have to be a 1-2 punch its more like a 1-1. For starters Lebron would handle the ball more and thats fine bc Wade has shown he's even more effective when he can slash and cut/get open without the ball. They both can play the point if need be and both can dish out assists. With Wade James and say Amare or Bosh you could easily see plays where Lebron gets the ball at half court starts to drive dishes to a slashing Wade who then drives right to the hole and when the defense closes in gives a short lil pass or alley-oop to say Bosh waiting right next to the basket for a dunk. Either that or he can finish it himself or dish back to James who would continue his attack toward the basket..Either way it'd be unstoppable. Those 3 would only need a big 7 footer ala Brendan Haywood with the midlevel exception to guard the paint and get some rebounds/blocks along with a pg lets say a Mario Chalmers who can sit at the 3 pt line and play decent defense.

If james comes to heat that will be a perfect batman and robin combo with james being robin of course, they played great at allstar game and even better and china olympics...love the article

hes coming to the miami heat, why the hell would he go to the knicks a failing organization that hasn't made the playoffs in almost a decade, the new jersey nets with the worst record in the nba there off the list and i know people say ya but look at the talent and ya they have good talented VERY YOUNG players who lebron james will have to wait for which means he won't even reach the finals with that team, then you have the bulls who's only asset is derrick rose, please don't mention kirk heinrich hes horrible, and lets just say they do sign lebron james they don't have anymore money to spend that's just not gonna cut it. Then you have the miami heat who have the best chance to sign, why? because he'll play along side of dwayne wade who by the way has a championship ring which he won by himself if you disagree check out the dalas series in 2006, then you have Pat Riley which we all know will coach if Lebron James ask's him to let's not forget Pat Riley is a HALL OF FAME COACH, hmm lets see do the bulls, nets, knicks have a HALL OF FAME COACH nope. Lets also not forget the money that the heat can offer, the heat can sign 2 max free agent all stars as well as one more all star free agent to a 3 to 4 year deal and then fill in the rest with role players and by the way they dont tax the nba players contracts in Florida, for example if we sign a player to 1 year 5 million dollars he gets THE FULL 5 million dollars other teams will have the players give back 3 million dollars in taxes which measn hes actually getting only 2 million if he signs somewhere else other than with the miami heat. The Heat also have MICKEY ARRISON who is one of the most respected owners in the NBA, one thing that mickey really has going for him is MIAMI perfect weather, celebs and beaches all year long baby as well as a great basketball, baseball, football type of town, hell miami is rated i think top 15 best sports towns. Lebron james is more focoused on DEFENCE than offence and on the miami heat team you cannot play if your first priority isn't defence. And then you have Pat riley who will show Lebron James is CHAMIONSHIP RINGS this guy knows what it takes to make a champion ship team and no one can say anything about that. If you can make a better argument than the one i just put up good luck lol.

Did KG take the role of second fiddle when he went to Boston? If Lebron comes to Miami, they will certainly have a dynasty barring any major injuries. Wade would be like Jordan, Lebron will be a Pippen on steriods, Haslem will be like a Horace Grant, Richardson will be like Paxon and they should be able to keep O'Neil, maybe bring back Shaq and Z would take a cut and come as well. It would be sick. Miami-Dade County will become Lebron-Wade County, there's plenty of room at the top.
