Upcoming NBA tax threatens*dynasty in South Beach - Ian Thomsen - SI.com

CBA reality: Will the new tax pull apart Miami's Big Three? - NBA - Sporting News


, Miami is committed to seven players in 2014-15 at a total cost of $78.4 million. The bulk of that guaranteed money is scheduled to go to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who will be paid $61.4 million altogether that season.
It's important to note that Miami's payroll for 2014-15 does not yet include low-salaried players who are crucial to its championship hopes -- contributors like Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Mario Chalmers, James Jones and Rashard Lewis, each a member of the Heat's current team. Those five players are making a combined $14.9 million this season.
Let's say that Miami, in order to remain in title contention in 2014-15, will add $14.9 million in cost-efficient role players to the seven men already contracted for that season. (The Heat may have to pay more than $14.9 million for similar complementary talent two seasons from now, but let's stick with that conservative figure for the sake of argument.) Here's what it means: If their ambitions remain high and they're able to keep costs as low as possible, then the Heat will be responsible for a payroll totaling $93.3 million -- and that's before the brutal impact of the repeater tax kicks in.

At the conclusion of 2014-15, the repeater tax will make its dreaded debut by punishing teams that have paid a luxury tax for four consecutive seasons. Miami is on a path to be hit with an enormous penalty in the summer of 2015.

As a repeat taxpayer, the Heat will be facing the highest incremental tax rates in NBA history. If, for example, the luxury-tax threshold is established at $75 million -- a highly optimistic gain of roughly $5 million from this season -- the Heat could be faced with a tax bill approaching $48 million. In total, they would be paying $141.3 million for 12 players.



meanwhile the LAKERS will have 55mil in cap space in the summer of 2014.. the ability to sign 3 max players( only nash is on the payroll @ the start of 2014


the question is why would lebron sign another 5yr deal in MIA when he knows they will not be able to keep the big 3
together and he will have to play with :flabbynsick: wade and the team will not be able to sign another max player like bosh

Wake.
Ain't no way in hell LeBron going to the Lakers and be stuck in Kobe's shadow. Kobe old ass would be trying to micro-manage LeBron like he still a rook.

They'll get P. George and Bosh or some shyt.

Only way I see Bron leaving Miami is if they don't make the Finals and Wade looks like he is finished. And even if he does leave I don't think he will go to the Lakers. To me it's either Miami Cleveland or possibly Chicago.

cavs are def a contender for his next destination but the lakers have alot more to offer.. he could go team up with kyrie or go to LA and handpick the other 2 MAX players he wants to play with + he would have input on the rest of the team.. that 55mil in cap space is to enticing i dont know how much cap room CLE will have if he signs there but they cant offer what LA can in the personel or marketing/branding dept
