Reports from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst are suggesting the Miami Heat are lining themselves up to be major players if Carmelo Anthony decides to test the free agent waters. The Knicks are giving Anthony until June 23rd to opt out of the final year of his contract.
Sources told ESPN.com that Heat officials and the team’s leading players have already started to explore their options for creating sufficient financial flexibility to make an ambitious run at adding New York Knicks scoring machine Carmelo Anthony this summer in free agency.
The mere concept would require the star trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to all opt out of their current contracts by the end of the month and likely take further salary reductions in new deals that start next season to give Miami the ability to offer Anthony a representative first-year salary.
