Miami Heat: Looking back at the LeBron James decision to leave Miami

Rahmeaun (@Boneman9000):

To be honest, I always felt deep down that James’ 4-year max contract he signed with Miami in the summer of 2010 (the best summer of my life) would be his last in that city. As I alluded to earlier, creating a team on the backs of superstars without drafting is not sustainable. You need to be getting those great finds late in the first round and second rounds of each draft to remain stable and near the salary cap tax line. Pat Riley didn’t do that, and the team paid for it when James left.
