MIAMI — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that LeBron James has decided to opt out of the final two years of his contract with the Miami Heat and become a free agent on July 1.
Opting out does not mean James has decided to leave the Heat, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the four-time NBA MVP nor the team had made any public announcement.
James had two years and about $42.7 million remaining on his deal with the Heat. In his four seasons in Miami, the Heat have gone to the NBA Finals four times, winning two championships.
Come back home…where the past hate from the state turns back into LOVE. ..!!!
Jason Austin I contacted him and he didn’t respond
Has LBJ ever came to the YO? I know he from Akron but Im sure he heard about the YO and our troubled youth! More respect for Kingsmen than LBJ…could you imagine the turn out for a LBJ boys teen talk in the Yo
Lebron acting like a baby. stay in Miami! that’s what you wanted so stay there. if you can’t win in Miami he can’t win nowhere!
Donovan Waller u are so right!!
Ill have to pass on this conversation lol
Andre White Lqkers can use anybody that they can get. if Magic wants to come out of retirement the Lakers can use him!
Kingsmen White smh…..a lot of hearts are set up to be broken! smh…..speaking without doing the research!!! I am up on game bro!!! LeBron James is moving on….watch!
Lakers baby !!!! We will take him or Carmelo
I think he either stays put or heads back to Cleveland. I don’t think he wants to be looked at as a ring chaser People think he has to build a team in Cleveland. In the east with this presents Cleveland squad he would definitely be back in the championship game next yr. Hey took a less talent Cleveland team to the NBA championship, in a much better east back in 06. The east is way worst now and Cleveland has a lot of young talent and he’s way better than he was in 06. The issue Miami is going 2 have is giving him a running mate DWade is on the decline.
