But if lebron says he wants max. Then guess what. He's gonna get max. And because of the cap that means that bosh and wade have 2 options. Take pay cuts or let bron walk. They are all saying the roster needs to be upgraded. Well guess what. If bron wants 2-3 million more a season and they were already over the cap. Someone is gonna have to take a big cut or that ain't adding any new players.
It's simple math.

It's one thing to take giant paycuts to improve the roster WITH LeBron taking giant paycuts to help improve it also, but to take giant paycuts just so LeBron can have a max deal AND not improve the roster much would be illogical. Wade will not opt in for less than 10. You're out of your mind if you think he's going to take 7 million when he was guaranteed 40 million over the next two years. Dude, have you been paying attention to FA so far? Jodie Meeks got a max contract for 19 mil. Jodie Meeks. Let me say that one more time... Jodie fucking Meeks. They'd be fools to take much less than that and definitely not 2-3 times less.
Well, yes, of course the choice was either they opt out or LeBron leaves. Even if they take big paycuts like you're suggesting, who are they going to add? Gortat and Lowry already signing back with Washington and Toronto. They still can't afford someone like Melo and they don't really have any pieces to trade for Love. Deng already said he's not taking a huge paycut to go play in Miami. Who they gonna get? Why would anyone wanna go to Miami to be turned into a spot up shooter who gets a few touches a game enroute to more than likely getting molested by my Spurs again next year?
Doesn't make sense.
