wade, LeRoid, Bosh around 43 million year one. 13 Mill left??

[wahz]

If that's right they can fill out the roster pretty well Im afraid

[Brendan]

Heat now have 8 million with the big 3, plus Anthony, plus Chalmers.

According to @LaryCoon's:

With big 3, $44,054,389 in committed contracts,
$1,544,172 on James Jones' guarantee
$1,060,120 on Anthony's qualifying offer,
$3,315,228 in roster charges,
total is $49,973,909, leaving $8,070,091.

They can sign M. Miller at 4.9 starting point for a $30 million deal. So they have 3.1 left to play with. I think they could get Fisher or J. Williams for the min. to backup Chalmers and live with that. That leaves them in need of a center and a backup wing (assuming they are willing to play Lebron at PF.) I think they'll go basement hunting on the wing and sign a vet min guy there, and then get a decent center for the rest of the cap space, and maybe a min guy too. Let's say Kwame and B. Miller.

B. Miller / Kwame
Bosh / Lebron
Lebron / Miller
Wade / Miller
Chalmers / Fisher

That team can win a title.

Update:

Per @samickFanHouse, Miller will get 5 years, $25M. That starts at $4.3M, leaving $3.8 million for other signings.

Doesn't change my analysis, just makes its more likely they get two big centers that are solid. I'd go for B. Miller and (Kwame or Wallace) - since they bring different things to the table.

I would imagine that 3 million is for a C. 


Shaq, Miller or Dampier (when he is waived)

That would be a heck of an 8 man rotation.  Kudos to Wade, Bosh and LBJ all taking less than the max to insure that the roster can be filled out.

Edit-- if the Heat are able to bring back Haslem, that would also be impressive.

Yeah all possible because of the sign and trades worked out, they're sacrificing smaller starting salaries because they're getting the bigger raises from the S+T.

I dont know why the cavs and raptors did this, just for future draft pics, because the pics are going to be horrible.

[Papatrichs]

hows about these guys, they might take a hometown discount...

I think they did it more for the trade exception.
