    Redick's 3-pt % was .405 regular season and .429 playoffs last year.

    If healthy, James Jones would be a great fit for them.

    Haslem is a goner. He's got a good payday coming his way from another team.

    I think alot of people felt the same about the Celtics that won 66 games in 2008 when they signed to form the big 3. Rondo was unknown back then but it worked out. I'm sure they will find the right role players to fit in, I'm not advocating this team or becoming a fan but Pat Riley been around long enough to know he can't do it without role players so i'm sure he has the right pecies in mind for this to work. It's going to be scary, teams like the buck, pacers might as well save their energy and forfiet those games against the heat lol.

    I just don't see how this can happen

    Miami doesn't even have the miles this year

    Even if they trade Beasley they still have 7 roster spots to fill

    In 5 years I believe this team will have huge financial problems

    They might be the new Knicks

    In 5 years they will have added 5 full MLE players, a 1st round Wolves pick, several savvy and hungry veterans and their best players will only be like 30.

    I think this is actually sad for the NBA. Its kind of a turn off that there is this All star NBA team. But what can you do when there is no greed involved and those players just want to win... :(

    It may be sad but the NBA just jumped over MLB in ratings for sure.

    People love dynasties and the villan. Thats why the lakers move the ratings bar and the yankees and cowboys do the same. The ordinary viewers are intrigued by this and rivalries are great for tv and viewership.

    Yep. I believe the commentators said it last night: you may despise them, but you'll want to watch them, if only because you are hoping to see them fail. You'll circle your team's games against them on the calendar.

    It's a $500K cap hold for each roster spot they don't have filled up to 12. So while they may have the money to sign him, that extra $4-5M you have there does not exist. You can go over the cap to fill out your roster, but only if they sign for the minimum.

    IMHO, the one who is illiterate in the English language is the one who cannot even tell the difference between 'than' and 'then', and also 'accept' and 'except'. And the one is you, Spiegel.

    So, what is your first language, Spiegel?

    Ouch that was funny! :grin:

    The Heat may invent the first sports monopoly just give them Chris Paul and why play the game just hand them the NBA trophy every year.

    Will the NBA survive if all the stars are on a hand full of teams - will you buy a ticket to see them come to your city and destroy the home team 128 to 57. So far it looks like the Rockets are not in the all star team sweepstakes.
