    They probably won't be able to sign Chris Andersen to that vet min offer. So that would be a big loss for them in the front court.

    Wade: $13-15M, Bosh: $15-17M. Both of them are planning to have a cut. But how much, no one knows.

    If they are going to "operate as a capped team" then all 3 are going to get the max or very close to the max.

    Right. It seems like the big 3 aren't really looking to take paycuts.

    Pop Quiz:

    Who would you rather have: Dwyane Wade at $20.6 million per season or Lance Stephenson at $10 million per season?

    No, they are a 15 player roster, I think that you just account 8 players so far.

    LeBron $20 million
    Napier $1 million
    Cole $2 million
    Bosh $17 million
    Wade $15 million

    That's still short of the $63 million salary cap.

    Or you could take that offer and replace Love with Rondo and Bass. I still think that the Celtics are ready to move on from Rondo. Rumor has it they want Isaiah Thomas to replace him.

    IS there any possible way we could pursue Bosh and Stephenson? Honestly that would be the best situation IMO. Parsons, Howard and Harden score all the points while Bev, Stephenson and Bosh lock down all scorers and rebounds. :confused:

    Homeskillet forgets to mention though that even though these signings leave lots of room for Bosh, they ultimately need to be enough to entice Lebron to resign.... otherwise Boshy goes bye bye.

    How are they going to add those two players under the MLE and BAE if the team isn't over the cap?

    I think the question that Bosh needs to ask is how many years at the max are the Heat offering? I think that all depends on LeBron. If LeBron wants to only come back for 2 years with a 1 year player option, would Riley offer Bosh the max for 4-5 years? If not then I can see Bosh taking Houston's offer. I think he values being on a contender but also wants a long guaranteed contract (this is probably Bosh's last max contract) so that has to definitely be on his mind.

    You are leaving off Haslem.

    Add Haslem at 3 and then cap holds and you are at the salary cap.

    Ball dominant guard that can't shoot or shoot FTs sounds like a perfect fit.
