    Fan bases don't deserve anything. What they can hope for is a good owner who is willing to spend money.

    Agreed - Miami is going to be incredibly weak inside - even Bosh is a poor interior defender. This is a team with outstanding top talent, but some glaring weaknesses that COULD be exploited.

    haha, well really, CP3 should look at his situation now and feel like there's no way in hell he'll win a championship in NOH. Time to renew the talks!

    I hope for the Heat's sake they're not going to go with Bosh @ C. He'll get dominated there.

    Another thing they have to worry about is durability issues with Bosh and Wade.

    I might just have to do that. LeBron to Miami IF true, would turn this league into a total laughing stock WWF style. The refs are bad enough. This would be the Coup De Grace.

    There is only one ball on the court at a time. We haven't ever seen Oden at full strength, hope we do some day. Lebron is sick, I haven't seen an athlete like him in my life. It is still a team game though, and the best scorer isn't always the most valuable player.

    Man all those ladies, who I'm sure look great from the front, and maybe only one or two nice asses in the lot. What can I say I'm channeling my inner Mix-A-Lot.

    I guess since it's Miami I might have to substitute Burmese Python for Anaconda.

    Who has the ball in the clutch? Who plays off the ball? Bosh is fine with either Wade or LeBron, all three though? Yeah, the one ball thing might make things interesting. Can Wade and or LeBron's egos handle the other taking up some of the lime light? This experiment would tell once and for all if talent really is all that matters. The attempted 4 peat Lakers made me question that mantra.

    This really blows big time for basketball if its true.

    Now that I think about it, this could all be hype. I mean, can Lebron really accept getting paid less than D-Wade?
