Espn reported last night,that's going to Miami.

damnit dummy i told you yesterday that he is! JK!

the books are yankin everyone around by their peters to get the money off of cleveland and onto another team

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

espn is a joke

[whatsgood5]

Why would they report it before their hour special?

Kind of what I'm wondering. You'd think they'd want as much suspense as their could be. Obviously as a Knicks fan I'll still be watching, but I feel like this rumor/report may drive a few not-so-interested people away.

Florida as a state has an advantage due to lack of state income tax. Any salary cut they take to come together in MIA would be eaten up in state taxes elsewhere.

Still, if the caps 58 million now (?) and you're locking in all 3 for roughly 45 - 48 mill, plus beasley's 5 mill, that leaves only 8 mill max to round out the roster (?), assuming they dump Chalmers, although he seems like quality cheap labor at this point.

It seems like no one is willing to take on Beasley. Why make the rich richer?

New defense in the league will be injure Wade.

[Bostongambler]

If he goes back to Clev. they won't win.

The tax does not make a huge difference here. It's less than a million dollar difference than it would be in NY, and he would make a whole lot more off of the court in NY.

Very true about the extra money off court.

Still, he'd be paying about 10% 12.6% in NY with State and City income tax - and from my limited understanding, they hit you where you work, not necessarily where you live.

[all_wade]

if he wants to win his first championship then he should go

Yep, the numbers end up being

New York ($1.449 million).
Cleveland ($894,228)
New Jersey ($1.155 million)

and in Miami he'd end up paying $436,818 for games played in other states. So it's actually not too big of a difference in Cleve.

[Onefreedm1nd]

Offering prop in thread "Lebron Prop +150"

[jjgold]

he will never win in Cleve but I cannot see him in Miami because he will be 2nd to Wade.

[ProfaneReality]

WSEX has miami -150

[Naz18]

I will hate LeBron even more if he goes to Miami....I really could careless where he goes, but because of the hype. fking attention whore if he announces he's going to Miami when Wade and Bosh announce the day before.

[Chuck Sims]

If Lebron sells out and goes to Miami they better win it all or this no ring circus fella will be crucified by the media.

[Scorpion]

By doing what he is doing he is telling everyone Lebron > Wade
He is already ******* Wade, I thought they were friends
If he respected Wade Lebron would have done this yesterday not today, he wants all the attention, Wade is no longer the alpha male in Miami, here comes Team Lebron!

[scarp]

why not.. hed be playing for the dream team

[PeePee]

take it at -500, Miami will be a great place for him to be

Can I be the bookie on this? Anyone want to risk their 200 pts for my 40? Or, even 180 for my 40 pts?

He will go to Chicago. There's no way he will go to Mia... not enough marketing/celebrities/shots.

[saintjames]

i heard that on espn this morning

[sweetjones55]

Don't forget there's no state tax in FL

[The General]

The Heat would require 5 league minimum players according to ESPN yesterday. That doesn't seem smart, but what do I know. I am leaning Cleveland with a twist somewhere. Can Anthony be traded to Cleveland somehow? Those 2 seem a good fit for the Cavs, although no decision really guarantees a title. Kobe is loving this.

[blackbeSSt]

why do people keep throwing this out there? you think people that make millions of dollars give a flying fvck about taxes?

Why would Lebron care what you think? You already hate him. His fans will support him. About half the Cleveland fans are strictly Lebron fans. Then he will get more fans in Miami, if he goes there. And IF he wins a championship or multiple, he will have even more fans... Everybody is focusing on the negative, but what people fail to realize is that most of the negativity will be forgotten in a year. It will only take a few ESPN highlights for some.. lol

[poker_dummy101]

exactly. if he wanted only the money part of it itd be new york or new jersey end of story.

[sdtrader]

You could have bought Miami last night on wsex for 17 shortly after the story came out but I don't have an account there. O well, even you would have done this and it wins you probably wouldn't get paid out lol.

And BTW, his business ventures had moved addresses to Chicago.
