LeBron on Durant: 'He's got to become a free agent'
While every other NBA playoff team spends the week scrapping and clawing to survive another day, LeBron James and the Miami Heat have ample time to step back and stir the pot a little.
Having finished off the Charlotte Bobcats in four games, the Heat have been quietly practicing for whoever their opponent will be next round. On Friday afternoon, James took the opportunity to poke and prod the 'Mr. Unreliable' headline directed at Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.
LeBron came to Durant's defense on Mr. Unreliable headline: "He's got to become a free agent one day."

Yes, the undisputed king of public free agency advocated Durant at least test the waters of free agency, a suggestion that would have 29 NBA teams frothing at the mouth, and one team incredibly nervous.
LeBron finished off his top-notch rabble-rousing with a laugh, telling the media that he had just given them the next headline before mimicking the 'Sportscenter' theme.
