    I can honestly see Lebron opting out next year and returning home to Cleveland. That has the makings of an amazing team.

    Me too. It's looking like Kyrie Irving is the better option for Lebron to win future titles.

    And the Cavs don't need to hit a home run with this year's pick. A solid 3rd option and that team is set.

    Add in the soup juggler as the 6th man, and role players in tyler zeller and tristan thompson.....lots of potential.

    Chris Andersen has been suspended one game for his physical altercation with Tyler Hansbrough in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers, the NBA announced on Friday.

    Andersen will miss Game 6 on Saturday.

    The incident -- in which Andersen shoved Hansbrough and escalated the altercation -- also was upgraded to a flagrant foul two.

    Hansbrough was given a technical foul on the play but had it rescinded on Friday.

    Andersen has established himself as a vital part of the Heat's bench.

    I noticed that as well.

    "I had to go back to my Cleveland days"

    D-Wade is in decline and he's pretty much LeBron's Mo Williams at this point.

    It also makes me think CLE will try to put together a very appealing roster by the time LeBron becomes an UFA.

    How hard to they go after LaMarcus?

    Not very. Kyrie and Lebron would be obvious max players. Their new pick has max contract potential. And you think the Soup Juggler is a max contract player so I don't see how they could afford to have LMA on the team.

    Bosh and Wade are a combined 1-10 so far in the first half.

    So much for the "Big Three".

    You or I could stand out there and miss jump shots. That's all he does at this point, although Stephenson and Hill are struggling right now, so you have to give Wade some credit on that end of the court.

    I should rephrase what I said - He needs to restructure his contract accordingly. He is still effective in spurts and can play solid D and still has a solid BBIQ, but for the contract he is currently on - it is a little ridiculous. If I'm the Heat, I seriously consider moving Wade this offseason (after consulting with LeBron) because it will give them the best chance to win.

    Wade looks like a broken down Wes Matthews.

    I love it. This has to be hurting his massive ego.

    Another epic flop-job from LeBron.

    Fuck this NBA era.

    He can't restructure his contract. It's not allowed under the CBA. Miami could amnesty him this summer, though...

    I'm thinking bone bruise might be something significantly more.

    The Big 3 have no trade clauses in their contracts.
