That's generous for Wade. With the premium maintenance plan the Heat afforded him, he still only played like a high end bench player average 10-15pts. I would say give Wade $5M and Bosh $10M for next season and LBJ $15M so $30M for three players. The Heat will then have like more than $35M to fill out the sqaud.
LBJ will wait until Wade and Bosh make their decision before making his. If they excercise their player's option, you could be looking at close to $60M for them three.
Good as Riley is I doubt he can find many ring chasing veterans who will take minimum like Ray Allen did to play with the Big 3 next season.
LBJ's problem is if not the Heat then where to sign? Definately not in the West but in the East, only Chicago makes sense from a competitive stand point assuming a health Rose will be there.
