LeBron picks the Heat.

[zell]

And he still won't win a title.

 

[biomech]

Three great players, but alot of ego.
Lebron needs his own special to announce his choice.
This year in b-ball will be epic.

 

[Straight Shooter]

And he still won't win a title.

I disagree. We all know that at the end of the day talent will win and that is what Miami possesses now with LBJ,Wade, and Bosh. They now are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.

I wonder how many season ticket holders in Cleveland have already cancelled tonight.

Three guys wont win, who else is on the roster?

Finally, now the rest of the United States can get back to reality and more important things. Although Cleveland will still be lost in limbo.

Exactly! They have no one else.No bench whatsoever.You can't win the NBA without a decent bench.

 

[LukeEl]

I heard the rumour that the Celtics were interested in Shaq now that would be epic!

They cant really afford any one, without a huge luxury tax hit.

How can the Heat sign these players with the salary cap? Honestly, I don't know much about the cap in the NBA. Can anyone explain?

Bosh, Wade, and James are taking pay cuts.

I think Beasley has a lot more untapped upside to him than he's shown over his first few seasons, but overall I agree with you. Too much ego, and 3 guys can't win. Their bench is devoid of serious players, and (just speculating here) their cap space has got to be at a pretty negligible figure after these 3 monstrous contracts come into play, leaving them very few options to pick up any "real" bench help.

Look at their current roster, minus "The New Big 3:"
-Michael Beasley
-Da'Sean Butler
-Mario Chalmers
-Yakhouba Diawara
-Kenny Hasbrouck
-Udonis Haslem
-Jamaal Magloire
-Dexter Pittman
-Quentin Richardson
-Jarvis Varnado
-Shavlik Randolph

Yeah, that has championship written all over it...

And even if they are "the team to beat in the Eastern Conference," that's not really saying much at all. Being the team to beat in the East is like being the lead usher at your local movie theater. Yeah, you're the boss of the rest of the ushers, but its simply not that big of a deal. There are more complete and better teams in the West, and the balance of power has been in the West for a pretty long period of time now, this, IMO, doesn't really change things all that much. (No offense to movie theater ushers.)

 

[Icewater Jones]

So it's gonna be LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and the Greater Florida Christian Men's League team???

What a joke.

 

[biomech]

Bosh, Wade, and James are taking pay cuts.

Lebron is getting 99 million over 5 from what I saw, the other two undisclosed at this time.

 

[Straight Shooter]

That's what they said when Boston acquired Garnett and Allen. Now Boston's situation was a little different because those guys were seasoned veterans. The trio in Miami will make everyone around them better. This is the new trend now in the NBA now that Boston saw success with their big three.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Bosh, Wade, and James are taking pay cuts.

They all are taking pay cuts to play together. The NBA salary cap is very difficult to comprehend. Plus the league announced that the salary cap will be set at 58 million for 2010-2011 which was higher than expected.

 

[STDiva]

loooeeeel. Boston will out these fools faster than Bosh and Lebron can spell backstabber.

Beasley, they have been trying to drop him for a while.
Besides that is that bench gonna compete with the Celts, Orlando, etc... I dont see it.

 

[Frank Fire]

i wish he would have pick the knicks i know that they aren't that good anymore but he could have help make them better

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

loooeeeel. Boston will out these fools faster than Bosh and Lebron can spell backstabber.

Well said man!
