    Lebron still has years left. Wade and Bosh can still produce for another 2 years. After that, Lebron will need to average 30/10/10.

    They'll sign Dalembert in the offseason and effectively solve their six issue with him, leading to another championship.

    2015, when their contracts expire. Heat can't afford all three under the new CBA

    Three legit years.

    Then either the Rockets or the Thunder take the torch.

    If the Heat get embarrassed this year... this offseason they will move Bosh...However highly unlikely...Still see the spurs winning in 6...but if that happens, the Heat will be back one last year...

    They will however not make it back to the finals next year...the East has gotten better, and Miami surprisingly has started showing age...a matter of time before parts of the bike start falling apart...and Lebron is left pedaling all by him self...The Indy series should be a sign for the rest of the East that good things for the Heat are at its end...

    I still don't get why people keep saying LeBron is going back to Cleveland.

    The chances of him going back to Cleveland are slim to none.

    Particularly Wade showing his age. He's just not the same player he has been in the past. The physical style he has played really has taken a toll (or seems to have) on his body.
    Harden reminds me of Wade in many ways .... I hope he doesn't have the same type of decline.

    They could possibly get Wade to sign for less considering his quickly-diminishing skills. And Bosh could be replaced with a serviceable 4/5.

    LeBron's game will evolve and (I believe) will get even better -- at least in terms of being in every play. Remember: the Bulls never had any great big man when they were winning titles.

    I don't understand this either. Maybe because Lebron said he would like to retire playing in Cleveland if I remember correctly. But even then, Lebron says a lot of things.

    A major reason would be because the one sportswriter that knows LeBron better than any other sportswriter on the planet and has been around LeBron since LBJ was in high school, gives it a chance.

    1. The question is whether Micky wants to pay a ****load more in luxury tax than any other team in the league.
    2. How the heck do signs tend to point to yes? Has Micky given interviews talking about his plans for 2015? He's a businessman, a smart one at that. One would figure common sense signs would point to no-as to whether he would hold onto Bosh and not ship him off to clear some cap room and whether LBJ would want to re-sign for a Heat team with no Bosh and a slowly declining Wade. (Despite the Gm 7 performance).
