ESPN 6/24/2014

“… LeBron James‘ agent Rich Paul has informed the Miami Heat that the four-time NBA MVP will exercise his early termination option and become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Opting out does not mean that James has decided to leave the Heat, sources said. James had until June 30 to decide whether to opt out of the final two years of his contract with Miami. He was scheduled to make $20 million next season and had two years and about $42.7 million remaining on his deal. …”
