Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team

If NBA doesn't go after Miami with some seriously hefty fines, this league is done.

What can the NBA do besides fine Miami?

They have taken draft picks away in the past, They could theoretically take cap room away from them. Forcing them to only give minimum contracts to anybody besides the big 3.

David Stern usually is the man, but I can see him cowering here.

They should take full action IMO.

It is terrible for the sport and the league. It would make me very happy to see the league step in, but it won't happen.

That's what I don't understand. They need to step in.

They won't. I had been suggesting that the 3 players were in collusion together for some time, and a friend suggested that the League stands to make too much money off this one team.

I disagree. You put 2 of the 3 biggest draws on the same team, thus reducing road gates. Not to mention Miami is the 17th largest market in the NBA, if Lebron went to Chicago or the Knicks he would play in the 1st or 3rd largest market. More money is to be made elsewhere.

I'd love to see these three spend the next 5 years playing with jim the parking lot attendant, and max from accounting due to restrictions placed on the team.
