Feel like Troy was forced in to this situation, as I think LeBron would have left. Or at least it would be highly likely for him to leave.
I think Troy makes the right move here. Could Troy have gotten more than Dwight? Probably. But Dwight seems about the right amount. He's a risk but has high reward.

If LeBron had another year on his contract I would decline but he only has 1. I would've preferred to have Gasol instead of Howard though. It does suck that Miami won't have BR on Terrence Jones but Adams is nice young piece to have along with some draft picks.
The fact that Golden State traded Ariza, Howard and Jamal Crawford who were 3 big reasons why he won a championship is quite amazing. He's tied for 1st in the West but hey i get it, it's Lebron, you gotta do it. Yeah Lebron is going to join Curry and Gasol, fucking deadly, but what happens next year? LeBron leaves and that leaves the deal Frye for Howard, Ariza, Crawford and others which is crazy to think. I can't predict the future but honestly LeBron would've probably not returned to Miami and for Troy to realize that, kudos to him to try and get value.
Time will tell who won this deal but huge risk for Golden State here, Chris team was basically becoming a dynasty and this just made it so much better but for how long? Just for this year or for many years after?
All I know is free agency just got wayyyyyy better.
I Accept.

That 2019 1st of GSW could be gold.

I think this is an absolutely terrible decision by Miami, in terms of trade value their team takes a complete battering in this trade. The Heat have assets left after this deal though, they will still make the playoffs this year, but it really dooms them to mediocrity in the long term.
However since the Heat will still have assets left, I reluctantly accept.

Ian has said we will be implementing max contracts this off-season Like, if there is no max, LeBron could easily make 40 million in here this off-season. I imagine if the rules stand how they are, he will have like 5 or 6 offers in the 40s Carmelo got one offer of 35 million just this past offseason. |

That's Melo, he isn't exactly highly thought of in here. And the cap last season didn't go up as much in here. Plus a lot of the good FA's last season were on BR's. This season, without BR's, we now have: Russ, Love, LeBron, Marc Gasol (who would be eligible for a deal around 30 million for a max), Paul Millsap. And those are just the 88+ rated guys |

Accept as well, I think LeBron would leave as the Heat currently stand, makes sense for the Heat to try and get some value out of him.
Howard and Wade aren't exactly on the rise, but they're still both strong starters that could have some pull in OSFA. Troy's also dealt two of his next 3 picks so I don't think blowing it up is really the best way to go.

Well thats 3 accepts. Welcome to the Bay Lebron!!
The Warriors want to thank Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, Jamal Crawford, Steven Adams, Terrence Jones, and Rodney Stuckey for helping us win the D5 Championship last season. We wish you guys the best of luck in Miami.
Ironically enough Lebron's 1st game in a Warriors uniform will be against...the Miami Heat.

This is a historic trade for the league. Lebron has stayed with Miami longer than he did in real life, and now he's joining the reigning champs.
