The Miami Heat Big Three 3 are in it for the long run, regardless of how their chase to become the first team in nearly two decades to three-peat plays out.

At least that's the thinking of owner Micky Arison, who earlier this week told SI.com he expects the trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to all return next season despite all of them being able to become free agents this summer.

During a recent interview with a local radio station, Arison told the host he is "100 percent" sure all three will return to the Heat next season and beyond. In recent times, the number of rumblings at least one member of the trio might be looking for greener pastures should the team fall short of its title quest seemed on the rise.

But if Arison is to believed, Heat fans have no worries, even if there might be other teams in a position to offer at least one of the three more money than the salary-capped challenged Heat might be able to.

Surely pleasing Miami fans all the more is the fact Arison's bold declaration comes on the heels of a recent interview James did with NBA TV where when asked by interviewer Steve Smith if he could see himself leaving the Heat responded "at this point, I can't."
