2014 free agency… Enough said.
One of the pieces fell in the domino effect that is 2014 free agency. Â LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, has informed the Miami Heat of his client’s decision to exercise the early termination option on his contract and become a free agent on July 1. Â News was first reported by ESPN.
Now before rival teams jump for joy, this does not mean James will be leaving the Heat, it just opens up more options. Â The weight now falls on Heat president Pat Riley. Â It’s up to him to bring in key pieces to join LeBron in Miami as well as convincing the Big 3 to take less money like he did in 2010.
In the meantime teams like the Lakers, Bulls, Rockets and Mavericks are waiting on the sideline to swoop in.
