    ...Miami is easily the odds on favorite to win the title now!

    This is pathetic. Everybody is trying to latch on with the Heat just to get a ring. They've officially become the circus act of the NBA.

    I look forward to seeing the Heat play. I think they are still vulnerable to strong post up play- none of their 4 centers seems to be that good, so it'll be interesting to see how Dwight Howard does.

    Too many small forwards--unless they plan on having Lebron and Bosh slide up to 4 & 5, respectively (in which case they're screwed defensively).

    I think it's more likely that we will see LeBron playing a lot of point guard.

    It's been my casual observation that most shooters lose their stroke as they get older. JJ is still a smart player, but can he really still shoot? We'll see, I guess.

    Nice pick up for the Heat. JJ is from Miami, so he has to be pumped! Just sit in the corner and bomb away!

    I really wouldn't be surprised to see LeBron average a triple double this season. He would be the first player to do that since Oscar Robertson (I think).

    The Big O is the only player to ever do that! That is simply amazing if you think about it!

    Would probably be the best move--I think Lebron might be able to salvage his legacy if he morphed from "next Jordan" to "next Magic" in one season.
