That's crap. Money is money and Miami is one of the sought out destinations for these guys simply because of the lifestyle.
Who wouldn't be?
I just don't know how they can rely on Wade going forward. Dude played 54 games this year and looked finished by the time June rolled around. Even if you maxed out James, which seems to be the prevailing rumour out there, you'd still have a tonne of cash to fill the team out properly instead of tying yourself to Wade and Bosh as well. It seems that in the playoffs, Wade and Bosh just turn into role players, so why spend $15M/year for role players? I'm hoping the Heat and LeBron don't figure it out. Would much rather see them lose in the finals every year.
I'd say they're pretty much obligated to sign them, I don't think either opts out without a guarantee already in place that Miami would re-sign them for X amount over Y years.....and if that's the case, then Miami wouldn't back out of that commitment, as it would drastically impact their ability to sign free agents in the future.
Slight chance both opted out without such a a guarantee, but I highly doubt it......they're both as likely to return as Lebron, imo, is not moreso.
and Riley and co. aren't going to tell a pair of CAA clients that they're re-sign them if they opt out, and then go back on their word tho.....just not gonna happen.
