Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh join LeBron James as free agents
The "Big 3" have all made the same big decision. And now, it's up to the Miami Heat to keep their star trio happy.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh told the Heat on Saturday that they are opting out of their contracts and will become free agents on Tuesday — the same decision that LeBron James revealed earlier in the week.
Strange as it may sound, all those decisions to become free agents are considered good for the Heat, since those four moves alone free up about $66 million in what would have been salary for next season. It also gives Miami tons of flexibility to lure those players back into new deals — plus have enough money left over to make additional roster upgrades.
