Miami Heat:Why a LeBron James No. change more than a numbers game

It started as a regular day in the NBA world, Birds were chirping, the Miami Heat were still in salary cap purgatory, while Miami Heat fans want Jimmy Butler by any means necessary. There were still reports of a midseason tournament, the free agency wild west is still coming soon, and there was still screaming on the sports tv channels. Then, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski pulled a Woj, reporting that the Los Angeles Lakers had made a trade to clear cap room, which turns out to be enough for a max slot.

After it was all said and done though, they had shipped Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to the Washington Wizards, which turns out to be a part of the deal with the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis.
