The "king" announced on a one-hour special that he will join stars and fellow USA basketball teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. James was the last marquee and arguably the biggest name to sign. In signing with the Heat, Miami can now boast three all-stars, but not much of a supporting cast. The only official member of the Miami Heat currently is Mario Chalmers. Bosh, Wade, and James are all suppose to iron out their contracts soon and are expected to sign five-year deals to stay in Miami. In the wake of the signings, Miami shipped forward Michael Beasley to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a second-round draft pick in 2011 and a swap of future first-round picks to make room for the "Big 3's" salaries. After the news broke that Lebron was bolting for South Beach, Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert was less than pleased to say the least, saying Lebron would carry Cleveland's sports curse with him wherever he went and promising that Cleveland would win a championship before his "highness" won one. Needless to say, there are plenty divided on whether Lebron made the right decision or not, but what can be said is that three all-stars that won the gold medal with the USA basketball team in the 2008 Summer Olympics, are all on one team, and everyone will want to keep tabs on how the three play together and if they can mesh together and win a championship, or if the egos get in the way and cause the signings to backfire for everyone involved. Should be interesting.
