Mike Miller might go to the Heat

[KingKong55]

Realgm - Heat offer Miller 5 yr deal

How do they do that and possibly sign LeBron?

I don't think they can. Something is off there.

Maybe the reporter is an amateur and meant a 5yr deal starting at $27.50.

Well, since there are cap holds for empty roster spots, the only way to do this would be (I'll spare the math):
1: A sign-and-trade that gets rid of Beasley
2: Wade, LeBron, and Bosh each accept a contract starting (at an average, so one guy could be higher and two lower) under $14.9M, instead of the over $16.5M starting salary they can get now.

That leaves enough cap room for a contract starting at $5M for Miller.

The team would be: LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Miller, Chalmers, and 8 guys signed at the veteran's minimum (or their second round picks...also at minimum salary I think).

Reports seem to make it contingent on dumping Beasley.

That's the only way it could work.

Maybe the reporter thinks he is going to work for the state of California.

Which is just silly after a while and has a good chance of not working. This whole exercise begins to feel like when you try to "break" a computer game by trying a strategy which just presses all of the margins as far as they can go. 10% of the time you win huge and break the game. The other 90% of the time the whole thing implodes and you lose.
