Tonight at 9pm on ESPN, LeBron James will announce to the world where his new home in the NBA will be. In the hour long press conference James is expected to confirm rumors that Miami will be his new team. Since his contract with Cleveland ended on July 1, there has been speculation that the 2 time MVP and former Rookie of the year will sign with either the Chicago Bulls, the New York Knicks, the New Jersey Nets or most likely the Miami Heat.
Resigning with Cleveland would probably make smarter financial sense because the 25 year old can make about $125.5 million over 6 years, whereas a contract with other teams could “only” pay him 96.1 million over 5 years. Poor guy.
While James led the Cavs to the best record in the NBA for the last 2 years, he failed to lead the team to a championship, and many believe he will take his talent elsewhere to find a more solid team to play with. Tune in to “The Decision” tonight at 9pm on ESPN and we will keep you posted on further updates
