According to a recent report in the Palm Beach Post, the NBA could force the Miami Heat to trade one of their three star players if the team can’t fit all three under the hard salary cap that could result from this summer’s collective-bargaining negotiations.
Said the paper:If the NBA emerges from this summer’s collective-bargaining negotiations with a hard salary cap, Commissioner David Stern said, it’s possible the Heat wouldn’t be able to keep all three superstars…Like the NFL, the NBA is headed to a lockout on July 1 if the players and owners can’t agree to a new collective-bargaining agreement by June 30, the date when the CBA expires.
“That’s part of the negotiation,” Stern said before Game 1 [of the NBA Finals]. “This is very complex. If there’s a will, we’ll be able to work all those issues out.”
Dwyane Wade signed a $107 million contract with the Heat last summer. LeBron James and Chris Bosh both signed $110 million contracts.
