By my count, Miami has saved vs. the market:

6M (2M annually per big three)
3M (annually for Haslem)
2M (annually approximately for Miller)
1-2M (annually approximately for Z)
1-2M (annually approximately for James)
1-2M (annually for the rest of the roster)

Based on discounts, they're basically operating with 25-30% more cap room than the average team or paying about 75 cents on the dollar for the talent they are getting. I think a couple of these numbers are quite conservative, too.

Bastards.
