Wade and Bosh are both represented by agent Henry Thomas. Forward
Udonis Haslem is also opting out. He is represented by Thomas as
well.
The moves give the Heat a record $55 million in cap space.
Wade, Bosh, James and Haslem are free to negotiate with teams
beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday. The players could rejoin the
Heat for less money to help team president Pat Riley make roster
additions.
