Late to party, Lebron to miami is awesome. Cleveland sucks regardless of what Drew Carey says.

I have to assume the sports is opiates for retards posts is a joke, because nobody out there can hate other sports and like tennis.

Has nobody learned anything from Hossa?

Mortgage your house. Get a loan from the mob. Put everything on Cleveland

I, too, am late to the party. However, I enjoy sports so I'll partake in the conversation. I agree with whoever said that he would have done better in Chicago, at least in terms of immediate impact. Chicago was a destination that would have generated immediate returns for him insofar as late round playoff contention.

With that said, the free-agency period is not over. If Miami can acquire, or develop their draft picks quickly, a big man to compete with Dwight Howard and Kendrick Perkins they will be ridiculous. However, at the moment they also lack a proven and true point guard. The point guard is easier to overcome in my opinion because Wade or Lebron can facilitate an offense. Now, whether they're willing to sacrifice points for facilitation remains to be seen. But, either of them can do it. The "big man" presence remains their biggest concern in my opinion.

They will fill out the roster easily with what they want. Others will WANT to come to Miami and sacrifice $$ to win a ring. Derick Fisher is already talking them. The big man problem could be the only thing holding them back but with those 3 of the floor the big man would just be a body, I doubt he would touch the ball much. Bosh, Lebron and Wade are all great rebounders.

I hope they destroy the league next season just to spite all the naysayers.

I agree.

With those 3 all you need is a mediocre guy who can hit a 3... (Kapono back) and a big guy for defense. I've seen Jarvis Varnado's name thrown out, rookie from Mississippi State who just had an unreal amount of blocks last year. Dont need a big man who can score just a defensive one to body up with Dwight Howard.

People that think Wade Lebron and Bosh cant play 60 mins a game must not watch much. They dont log 60 but they all play a damn healthy amount, these are 23-26 year old guys, they are in their prime.

Theres only 48 mins a game so 60 isnt needed =P Im guessing individually theyll all 3 average 42-43 mins a game tho. As usual.

I mean it in the same sense that Aldous Huxley wrote about "Brave New World", that society is more concerned with trivial bullshit... but then again, most media / news is just that bullshit.

Sidenote, I didn't know what to think of Lebron pitching the ESPN special for his decision, but then realized he donated all the advertising money ($500 grand) to Boys and Girls club of America from it.
