Have they? Lebron wants a max deal reportedly which he's certainly entitled. I'm sure Bosh and Wade aren't willing to give up much either. Also, without a commitment from them players won't be signing with the Heat because they might be playing with just Norris Cole. The Spurs are always a step ahead because they get their players to buy in somehow. They can make more money elsewhere. Until other players are willing to do this they have an advantage. It's security vs winning. I can understand both sides, it's the players choice. I really feel if Lebron was staying in Miami the deal would be done. I'm one who thought he was 100% staying in Miami, but I also thought he'd be willing to take less money. Obviously, all speculation on my part. If he's staying with the Heat it would be in his best interest to sign soon IMO.
