FILE - In this June 14, 2014 file photo, Miami Heat forward LeBron James responds to a question during a media availability for the NBA basketball finals in San Antonio. A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that James has decided to opt out of the final two years of his contract with the Heat and become a free agent on July 1. Opting out does not mean James has decided to leave the Heat, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the four-time NBA MVP nor the team had made any public announcement.
