Cham ; just ask non Lakers fans on this forum if they consider me as a Lakers groupie , you will see the answer ... I never said this team couldn't be deadly , I just have my doubts about Wade and James playing together (especially during the playoffs as the game is slowed down) as their game is pretty similar and I would have the exact same doubts for any combination of dominant perimeter players.
Both Wade and James need the ball in their hands to be effective ... I know your bandwagon fans are excited but let's see how this works ..

How do you feel about all of this? Still think Celtics can be a favorite to come out of the East? I dont know about signing Jermaine O'Neal, that was pretty dumb, but it seems like they aren't going to lie down just yet.

^The Heat just signed Mike Miller, he's a beautiful fit for any team & he really fits as Miami's three-point threat; a poor man's Ray Allen, but can still get the job done.Believe it or not, I'm sure there are some good basketball players in Free Agency who will be willing to take the minimum contract just to play with these three & help make it a done deal for next June.It wasn't even rumored, I'm just thinking, but you got AI & T-Mac who are ringless. AI, who recently said he's let his fans down & can be that guy to come off the bench for 15-20 minutes & contribute to wins; the Heat can give them both the veterans minimum & go over the cap to fill the roster & that's two solid ass players coming off your bench. Could potentially hurt chemistry, but they know what they are getting into before they would sign the deal; they know whose running the show.My point being, it's not a given that the rest of the Miami Heat team will be complete, worthless, "They might as well have offered me a contract" ass.

I love AI but dude has caused problems at literally three of the last teams he's played on. T-Mac, I don't think would be AS bad as he has to be humbled by now, but Heat have a lot of roster spots to fill out, and three of their four current players are already wing players, so they really would be better off looking elsewhere.The funny thing, I also heard Heat is interested in Derek Fisher. Fisher leaving Lakers for Heat would probably get him about a quarter of the hate LeBron is getting right now, which is still quite remarkable considering Fish is worlds apart compared to the rest of that team lol.
