This is the salary structure of the Miami Heat (taken from hoopshype.com).
Note that there is only one contract during the following season that the Heat do not control, that of Dwayne Wade. That means that they have the most cap space possible should Wade opt out. They may be able to sign three top free agents if they renounce all contracts. I feel that this is a scarier situation than NYK or NJN. Any thooughts, except that LeBron will stay in Cleveland anyway, which I think.
