Four years ago Lebron took his talents to South Beach. Lebron has opt out of his contract and will be a free agent July 1st. James was set to make $20 million next season and had another two years and $42.7 million left on his original deal.
Pat Riley releases the following statement on LeBron James;
I was informed this morning of his intentions. We fully expected LeBron to opt-out and exercise his free agent rights, so this does not come as a surprise. As I said at the press conference last week, players have a right to free agency and when they have these opportunities, the right to explore their options. The last four seasons have been historic and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Erik Spoelstra have led the Miami HEAT to one of the most unprecedented runs in the history of the NBA. We look forward to sitting down with LeBron and his representatives and talking about our future together. At the moment, we are preparing for the opportunities in the Draft and Free Agency as we continue with our goal of winning NBA Championships.
What team do you feel Lebron will go to next?
