The max contract he could sign in Cleveland was 6yrs/$125m, where he signed a contract for 6yrs/$110m with Miami. So he took a $15m pay cut but will save about $5m in income tax and won't have to play in Cleveland. He also got an early termination (2013-14) clause which Cleveland was not willing to give him from what I heard.
