The 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions have one eye exclusively on developments in South Beach. As the players go on vacation, the agents and the team iron out the dirty work. LeBron James dismissed himself from the complicated math by declaring he'll take the max, leaving Wade and Bosh with the complicated math.

LeBron James is apparently out of the country and Bosh is also on vacation. They have left the negotiations with their agents. It seems like they are not entertaining any proposals from other teams..yet. They are trying everything to make the Miami situation work.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have agreed with LeBron's decision to take the max contract, thus, it's a given that they will take a pay cut from the $ 20 million each that they opted out of. The big question is: How much?

According to a reporter from the Oregonian, it's close to a whopping $ 10 million.

Chris Bosh’s 5-year deal with Miami expected to start at $11 million in year 1. Dwyane Wade will sign four years, $12 million in year 1

The 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions have one eye exclusively on developments in South Beach. As the players go on vacation, the agents and the team iron out the dirty work. LeBron James dismissed himself from the complicated math by declaring he’ll take the max, leaving Wade and Bosh with the complicated math. It also says that the proverbial ‘window’ that LeBron James is providing Pat Riley is very short ..even just two years. If they don’t win a championship in that period, he can make a decision again.

LeBron James wants short term (1-2 year deal) at max money contract w Heat, source close to negotiation tells me. — John Canzano (@johncanzanobft) July 1, 2014

NBC Sports breaks down the possibility, considering that the available cap space would be around $ 12 Million: “Riley could use all or almost all of that to go after one big player — Kyle Lowry or Luol Deng, although neither is willing to take a discout to come to South Beach — or he could divide it up into two or three players at and try and fill a few needs with quality players. After using up that cap space Miami would still have a $2,732,000 exception, which could be useful for Udonis Haslem (it can only be a two-year deal but Haslem isn’t playing longer than that anyway). After that it is all minimum contracts.”

But we’re jumping ahead of ourselves. Wade and Bosh’s agent, Henry Thomas denies this:

Agent Henry Thomas, on report clients Bosh & Wade will take $12M/per & $11M/per, respectively: "all the BS you are reading is just that."

It will take some time before we sort out what's real and what's not. LeBron's hardline stance makes Pat Riley's job very difficult now, but he has made it a catwalk in the past 4 years.
