Miami Heat superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will meet at season’s end before deciding whether or not to opt out of their contracts, Wade told ESPN The Magazine on Tuesday.
“I’m at a position where I don’t really have to worry about it,” said Wade. “I’ve been with the same organization for now 11 years. We’ve won multiple championships, so it’s no reason where I need to think about that yet. I’m not at a point where we are a bad team and I need to think about the future so right now I’m really focused on just enjoying this team, enjoying our quest to try to ‘Three-peat.’ And when the season is over, and whatever happens, then I will sit down and I will sit down with Chris and I will sit down with Bron and I will sit down and make the best decision for myself and my family.”
Bosh hinted last week that he and LeBron may stay in Miami after he answered “True” when asked by ESPN’s Dan Le Batard whether he and James would be back next season.
The trio have clauses in their contracts that give them the option to flee South Beach following any of the next three seasons. Back in 2010, Wade, James and Bosh also met prior to joining the Heat.
“When we sat down and we signed our deals and all of us made sure we had an opt out in that fourth year, that was our option, so the option is there and you would hope that someone wants to be able to use their option as a player,” Wade added.
Wade has two years and $42 million left on his contract. He is averaging 19.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 51 games this season.
