J.J. Reddick resigns with Magic for 3 years, $19 million.
Nate Robinson signs 2 year deal at $8 million to stay with Celtics. Penny Hardaway wants to come back and play in the NBA. Knicks tried to use Isiah Thomas to lure Lebron to the team. It ended up failing badly. |

Also I saw that Donnie Walsh might be stepping down as GM soon(like 1-2 years), and a canidate for his replacement would be ....
Isiah Thomas |

I am slowly starting to come to the realization that the Heat are just going to own the NBA for the next 10 years.

Pffft, Wade is like 28, and has about 4 good years left on those knees, and Bosh is a human cone on defense, and as fragile as glass. I honesly don't see Juwan Howard or Mike Miller adding a whole lot to the team. They are gonna be weak down the middle, and teams like Orlando and LA will feast on them down low.

Narc, im not gonna sit here and pull the 'your ass doesnt even watch NBA games' card (even though i could).
What i am gonna say is that chemistry means alot more than any 'big three'. Teams like Boston, San Antonio, LA, etc all have chemistry, they play together well. You havent even seen these dudes on the same floor at the same time (except maybe all-star games), so how can you sit here and think they will all of a sudden step on the court and start throwing behind the back passes for alley-oops like they are all mind-linked? Chemistry will mean more than anything else, and honestly, beyond the three damn players everyone is nutting over, they barely have a starting five. I guarantee they will have MAJOR issues against teams like Orlando, Boston, LA...anyone that have a strong front court will push these boys around. |

It's just ridiculous when you call the situations the same when they're clearly worlds apart. You're complaining about stupid fanboys when you're quite blatantly acting like one yourself. I'm not saying the heat are going to slice their way through the division like a hot knife through butter, you're just trying to make it out like I'm saying that so you can "insult my ignorance." It seems like you're trying to downplay the signifigance of this monster all star team here because it just annoys you. If that's the case, then just say so.
Saying that this is the same as Cavs fan saying Lebron is going to win every year is absolutely fucking ridiculous and you know it. This is probably one of the biggest signings in NBA history and it's turning the NBA upside down right now. And of course I haven't seen them play a game together yet, and neither have you. Keep hoping that they're "not going to mesh" or that they're going to "fall apart" or something, but I think we both know the chances of that happening aren't very good. I think it just annoys the hell out of you how good they're most likely going to be. You COULD be right and this could be one of the biggest busts ever... But you probably aren't. I just feel like you're speaking as a Lakers fan more than you're speaking as a basketball fan. |

Biggest thing with the Heat is going to be defense. Who is going to play any post defense? Bosh wants no part of that

LeBron is probably going to be the guy to step into more of a roleplay role here, but he sure as fuck won't be able to do it all. I imagine he'll get solid numbers offensively and defensively but yeah, they're going to need some more D for sure.

LeBron doesn't really play in the post though. Out of the big three, it looks like LEBron is gonna sacrifice his game the least, so I dunno if him moving into the post will work that great for him.

As for D in the post, your guess is as good as mine. The team isn't complete yet but I don't know who else they could even afford at this point.

As someone who as watched bosh for 7 years, i can verify that statement. He is a terrible defender, I've seen right gaurds with better lateral quicks.

He cant. He's shit at defense. LeBron cant play post defense either. Dude gets alot of his blocks off running starts, which isnt all that easy to do when someone is posting you up.

True. That was a very short lived team though. WadLeBosh will be around for a good long while it seems. If they can come out as a force this year, just imagine how they'll look in a couple years. On the same coin, if they're dysfunctional this year, they'll have some time to work the kinks out.

as time passes they will learn to play on the same court, certainly. The question is how much, how soon, and if they are all willing to. I know they signed on the dotted line at the same time, but attitudes can change once the season begins.

Lebron and Wade are not that good when the offense isnt running through them. THat is going to be the big story here. What makes these guys great is going to be hindered by having others around.
I think it will work out to success, but if things fall apart I will not be surprised. |
