Well it appears as if the move to keep the entire Big Three with the Miami Heat is in full swing as, on Saturday, both Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opted out of their current deals with the team, joining their teammate LeBron James.

By doing so, now the three can re-negotiate their contracts, presumably for less money, to keep them right where they’re at together to pursue more NBA Championships to add to the two they have acquired already.
Of course, throughout this whole saga since the Heat were ousted in five games from the NBA Finals, the internet has a lot of opinions on the situation, and these two opting out on Saturday brought out all of the hot takes.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opting out of their contracts. Again, why does anyone think LeBron isn't resigning with Miami?

Joining Lebron; Bosh, Wade and Haslem will opt-out. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they all left? http://t.co/h4klD9kJyL
