The best basketball player in the world is up for grabs. After guiding the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA championships, there's now a real possibility that LeBron James could leave south Florida for a new challenge this summer... on a free.
James opted out of the final two years of his £12.3million-a-year contract with the Heat to become an unrestricted free agent. The 29-year-old was joined by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the other two members of Miami's big three.
Could you even begin to imagine such a situation in football? Just think of the shockwaves that would be send through the football world if Lionel Messi, Neymar and Andres Iniesta, for example, all decided to opt out of their Barcelona contracts and be open for all.
There would be a huge scrum from the world's biggest clubs to sign up the superstars. And what about from Barcelona's point-of-view? To see three core members of a team leave without a penny in return.
It's a striking situation, but one the Miami Heat are faced with. The spine of their back-to-back championship winning team are now exploring other avenues.
What's brought about this change? Losing to the San Antonio Spurs in such a one-sided NBA Finals series, and the realisation that the Heat were no longer top dogs. Miami were well beaten, their hopes of three titles in a row dashed, and they recognise they need to strengthen to compete for another championship next year.
