The feeding frenzy begins

Yesterday ESPN was abuzz with the news that three of basketball’s most prized free agents, Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade, met in Miami to discuss the possibility of collectively lowering their salary demands to allow them all to play on the same team next year. My initial reaction is that I love this. It’s always a team’s front office that “puts together a team” with players just chess pieces to be used as others see fit. I would love to see players take control of that process and start bargaining together or accepting less money to play with others they respect. In a way this relates to an earlier post. I appreciate anyone who can do something new rather than the accepted route that everyone uses.
