Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out, LeBron seeks max

I highly doubt Lebron is pushing for the max. Broussard reported a report that someone who knew someone told someone who told him..... It makes no sense for LBJ to be pushing for a max $$.
Broussard is a Russian roulette jounro, for every story he gets right he gets 10000 wrong.

Given that he's never been in the top 5 earners in the NBA I doubt he's going to start pushing that now - especially considering 1) how much $$ he makes off the court 2) how much he wants to win another ring and he knows they need to get fresher bodies to do that.

I don't understand Lebron.

Opts out and is pressuring the Heat into getting some help.

Yet he wants a max deal.

A max deal would be 5 years/$130m.

Let me put that into perspective. Over the five year period, Lebron would essentially take up 2 years worth of cap space. Its scary when you think of it like that.

Smart move by them, not hamstringing their team like some mid 30s guys who gobble up half of their teams' salary caps.

Wade opting out is a strange one, giving up 2 years $42 miliion. I would think his value has dropped well below that with any new deal. Maybe working a Duncan like loyalty deal with Heat to keep LeBron and win more Chips?
