Miami's Big Three Possibly No More?

Could it be? Could Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh be leaving the Miami Heat? After James recently announcing his free agency, today Wade and Bosh opted out of their contracts too. All three players were found having lunch together at Soho Beach House in Miami just three days before Wade and Bosh announced their free agency. They were thought to be discussing their future plans together.There is a lot of speculation going around, the most popular being that the Big Three aren't going anywhere. By all three opting out of their contracts, the Heat now have $55 million open for fresh contracts this year. All three star players would be looking at a pay cut, but the new talent would help add high quality players in hopes for another run at the NBA championship. If this act of altruism for the sake of the team is true, then all three players are showing to their fellow teammates and fans that the love of the team is greater than the love of money, and that they'll do anything to win another championship. How can you not like the message they may be sending?  

Just for argument, what would happen to the Heat if their Big Three chose to leave? The Heat have been defined by these three star athletes for four years now, and have made it to the NBA Finals all four years as well. These players have brought more fans, viewers, and overall attention to the team since they signed on the dotted line. It would practically feel like a whole new team without them, and it actually could be. There is only one player from last season who still has a contract with the Heat; back-up point guard, Norris Cole. Time will tell what is in store for the Miami heat and the Big Three. Fans will hopefully find out within the next month.
