I don't think drafting a rookie pg late in the first is enough to convince Lebron to stay... You can even look at his tweet. Nowhere does he mention playing with Napier or even say anything about the Heat in general. Not saying he is a lock to leave, but I don't think we should over react here.
Heck I know that but the texans weren't going to draft Bridgewater either even though they love to have fans thinking they would have. It's just ironic how that happened twice in two different drafts some random team drafts a guy right in front of us that is supposed to be the great sleeper. Hilarious.
So Heat draft Lebron's preferred player late in the draft...and he now stays? What am I missing here?
Nothing. Just assumptions by some posters which I don't really get. I don't think Lebron is that stupid to stay on that alone.

Why? Houston is still his best landing spot and it's doubtful that Wade will opt out and take 10 mil a year since he'd almost certainly never make the 40 mil he has guaranteed right now if he did. Wade opts in, Lebron is gone for sure.
Ric Bucher is on some good drugs. Half of his tweets tonight made as much sense as Jalen Rose talking about Melo getting all his money in a SnT (which for those that don't get this; he gets the same money either way).
