Call it a summit, a book club, or whatever you'd like, but LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh have met to determine the league's future over a nice game of Parcheesi. What an ominous yet delightful development!
The particular endgame the three are discussing is a future in which James, Wade, and Bosh all play for the Heat. Miami doesn't have the cap space for such an unprecedented move as of yet, but they'll continue trying to clear as much cap as possible to keep this dream alive. They just have to move Michael Beasley's deal, and Pat Riley has been on the phones begging other GMs to do just that. Our own Ira Winderman reported he may have found a landing place, but nothing has been made official yet.
Reports have LeBron James as being the non-committed one to this idea. The man wants to be courted, he wants the teams to come to him and tell him how much they love him. Then he will decide, and Miami may now be a front runner. But first, he wants to be wooed.
The thought of the three biggest prizes of the 2010 free agent class all ending up in Miami is...frightening, to say the least. Supposing the Heat do end up moving Beasley, then Mario Chalmers and second round selections Dexter Pittman and Justin Varnado would be the only locks for the roster. The rest would need to be picked up using cap exceptions and minimum contracts. However, given the drawing power of the triumvirate, I'm sure a few capable veterans could be persuaded to sign for a discount.
