Sports Illustrated is reporting that while Miami Heat's Big 3 (LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh) are hopeful about another championship run, and while owner Micky Arison is sure that they will return to the fold next year no matter what, nothing is guaranteed.
Heat owner Arison is absolutely certain the Big 3 will return whether they win the NBA Championship or not, but there is a wrinkle in that plan:
"One minor cloud hanging over the Heat's latest title run is the possibility that their Big Three could split up this summer. All three players - LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh - can opt out of their contracts and become free agents after the season. But the Heat aren't sweating the situation - at least not publicly."
While Dwayne Wade hasn't said much on the subject, James and Chris Bosh have both given strong indications that they intend to stay:
"In February, LeBron gave a strong indication that he's leaning toward staying in Miami. Asked by NBA TV's Steve Smith if he could envision leaving the Heat this summer, LeBron replied: 'At this point, I can't.' Last month, Bosh answered 'true' when asked if he and James would be in Miami next season."
Quietly poised to 3peat this year, the Heat have the makings of a modern dynasty. If the Big 3 can continue to sacrifice higher salaries in the name of winning championships they could reach record-breaking heights. The only thing to worry about at this point is LeBron's retreating hairline.
Okay sports fans, what do you think? Can the Big 3 stay together long enough to build a dynasty comparable to Boston, L.A. and Chicago? Will egos and greed get in the way? Will LeBron find a headband wide enough to mask his horseshoe?
