Now that the tears have stopped with Lebrons departure, and I've had a chance to have a look at the roster. I think they can really still be a big contender in the east. I'd expect Bosh to really pick up his numbers with a lot more opportunities in offence. Deng should take some pressure off bosh and wade. Where the finish will depend on how wades body holds up and how they use him in terms of minutes and keeping him healthy.
I think the new dynamic at Miami will be Bosh as their #1 man. I just don't think Wade is healthy enough anymore and between Deng and Bosh, Bosh is the more accomplished IMHO. I think they've done well to save the furniture here and keep themselves at the right end of the comp.
LA looks stinky at the moment. Swaggy is entertaining but a pretty ordinary player. Probably suits Kobe though, now he can send up as many shots as he likes and nobody will question it. After all, what else can he do? Still think LA made a mistake not trading Kobe 2 years ago and building around Gasol with picks.
Boozer and Love floating around gives a big chance to sides to really improve. Not often you get two very good bigs available at this point in the window.

IMO i think teams should wait out on Love just in case he does what Dwight Howard done going somewhere with one year left on his deal.
We would have the best one of the best front courts in the league now Noah, Gasol, Gibson and Mitroics. Can't wait to see how Noah and Gasol work together.
The thing with Howard was he always said that's what he was going to do. LA fans have been trying to rewrite history by saying he screwed them over but they backed themselves to change his mind during the year. They gambled and lost. I presume that Love can agree to a new deal if both parties are happy to do so.
I think Gasol and Noah will work nicely. In fact it seems like a really good mix. Noah doesn't need a lot of the ball on offense, he's made a career of making do with no plays run for him. Gasol should get more ball from Rose than he got from Kobe and it might just be the catalyst for Rose to get the balance right between scoring and passing. Plus with Gasol's skill set compared to Boozer, he's far more capable of playing a really effective 2 man game with Rose. Should be fun.
