Is Lebron James On The Verge Of The Decision Part II

Following the Spurs 5 game victory over the Heat the rumors surrounding Miami and their Big 3 began to take place. Will D. Wade opt out ? Will Chris Bosh opt out ? However the million or billion dollar questions are surrounding Lebron will he opt in or will he opt out ? This December Lebron will turn 30. He helped lead Miami to 4 straight NBA Finals and the Heat won back to back championships in 2012 & 13. We all remember the summer of 2010 and 'The Decision' that took place on ESPN when James announced he would exit Cleveland and enter Miami as a free agent. During the 2010-11 season Miami won the Eastern Conference the 1st of 4 in a row. The Heat would take a 2-1 series lead over Dallas before falling to the Mavericks in 6 games. The Heat would beat the Thunder in 5 to win the title in 2012 and went the distance vs. San Antonio to win the title in 2013. However after the Heat were dismantled by the Spurs during the 2014 NBA Finals rumors began to come out of Miami. Teams such as Houston are being rumored to be interested in James even Chicago. Some experts have said maybe Carmelo Anthony will opt out in New York and come to South Beach. At this point it is all speculation however at some point this summer decisions will have to be made for the Big 3 in Miami and other superstar free agents around the league. Rumblings out of Miami is James wasn't happy with the Heat front office for not spending enough on bench players. San Antonio had the edge on bench production in the Finals. Lebron may want ownership to dish out more money to improve the Heat bench or else. James could commit for one season than leave or he could commit long term ditto for Wade and Bosh. We could be witnessing a remix of summer 2010. Stay tuned !
