Was a Lottery Pick (13) for Indiana. played only 29 games last year due to injury (8.5ppg, 4.8rpg)

An seemingly obscure question

Not quite the same excitement this year for Australia

With his signing Carmelo Anthony and Tony Parker's names are being thrown around, but both are still under contract.

Boozer to Chicago

Bosh and D Wade sign with Miami

ESPN have a 1 hour special on tomorrow so Lebron can announce who he signs for. He has said he will reveal the team in the first 5 minutes so you can imagine how exciting the rest of the show will be.

"LeBron James: The Decision" Friday 10:30am on ESPN.

Word on the street is LeBron is leaning towards the Heat.

[Johno6]

Lebron officially joins the Miami Heat.

So they have a pretty frickin awesome line up...
Wade, Bosh, James just to mention 3

Miami..!!

What odds on Pat Riley to take over the coaching role again?

Be interesting to see what players they can convince to join them on the minimum salary.

I think they will get a few role players to play for the minimum just for the chance at a championship. Players like Jermaine O'neal, Michael Finley etc might be willing to make that sacrifice.

This scenario reminds me of the lakers a few years ago when they got karl Malone & Gary Payton to play alongside Shaq & Kobe.

He is in talks with the 'Tics at the moment.

J O'Neal would be a terrible signing.

I knew it was gonna happen but it is a crap move by Lebron, if he wins 5 rings at Miami he still won't be compared to the likes of Jordan.

Celtics lost with their Big 3 and they had some great players around them such as Rondo , and Perkins. It could backfire massively if they don't have decent players around them.

Who is going to play Centre?? They need at least a decent big man to stop the likes of Howard, Gasol, and Noah ( ).

[Magpiespower]

Miami starting five will look something like this...

F: Chris Bosh
F: LeBron James
C: Mike the Janitor
G: Dwayne Wade
G: Bill the Hobo

Bench made up of whatever 'Home Brand' role players they can fit into the salary cap.

Will there be enough shots to go around for The Big Three?

I imagine they will be trying to trade Beasley for a centre that can play defence. Someone like Robin Lopez would be ideal but i doubt many teams will be lining up to take on Beasley's unfriendly contract and make the heat even stronger.
