LeBron James' agent Rich Paul has told the Heat that James will exercise his early termination option and become an unrestricted free agent, according to Chris Broussard.
Let the games begin! Teams can't officially make an offer to James until 12:01 AM on July 1, but it goes without saying that the line outside James' door will be 30 teams deep. LeBron's decision to opt out doesn't change the fact that the Heat are still the frontrunners to keep his talents in South Beach, but we expect teams like the Bulls, Lakers, Cavaliers, and others to put the full-court press on James.
