Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade Meet in Miami
A meeting between three of today's best NBA free agents in Miami - Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade - has led to much speculation
The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have been offering special Lebron James betting props on where the free agent will end up next season. We may be closer to an answer after reports surfaced Tuesday that James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade were secretly meeting in Miami.
Both Wade and James had already disclosed that this year's free agents would be meeting to discuss ways they can join forces and win a championship.
One source tells the Miami Herald that the Miami Heat are frontrunners to land all three.
From CBS 4 South Florida:
The lone hold-out to the super-team in Miami may be LeBron. According to ESPN.com, James hasn't committed to leaving the Cavs for South Beach. James has never been recruited before, so this may be his only chance. He will listen to offers from Chicago, Cleveland, and possibly Dallas. The Mavs entered the picture due to Mark Cuban's deep pockets,his ability to market James and the fact that Dirk Nowitzki opted out of his contract.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wade believes the Heat are poised to "pull off a free-agency coup" that would including signing all three stars.
Cleveland, which had been a -150 favorite to keep Lebron, was now listed with +200 or 2/1 odds. The Chicago Bulls, who had been at +150 odds, were now the big favorites at -300.
But keep an eye on Miami. At +200 odds, should Lebron James go to the Heat, the payout would be $20 for every $10 bet.
