Re: Is it possible We're 1 piece away from contending?
I don't really care what a Lebron fan thinks about the capabilities of this Heat team. A LeBron fan will always automatically say we are far away from contending and need a million pieces to get back to contention just because Lebron is no longer on the team. They must at all times feed this narrative that Lebron is god.
I still think we are 1 piece away. I don't get so high and low as everyone else every time we win or lose. If we get a good center and Wade stays healthy, we can compete with anyone.

Re: Is it possible We're 1 piece away from contending?
I voted for "5". I don't think we are one piece away. I appreciate what Lebron James did for us, but I'm not a fan. He's not on our team anymore.
I remember 11-30 with these guys. ^

Re: Is it possible We're 1 piece away from contending?
I actually think its our bench and validity in our starting rotation that is needed.
Napier is the real deal.... watching this guy get better every game is incredible. ( The double crossover on DWILL was spectacular, minus the turnover pass) As he get comfortable expect Tony Parker esc type player.
James Ennis is also a strong piece, learning from Deng will make him great
Besides that who really is our bench. . Rio, Granger, williams, cole, and bird. we need a jamal crawford, ginobli, taj, nate rob, type player to push us to contend.
Just my opinion

Kevin Durrant is the best WNBA player in the NBA!

Re: Is it possible We're 1 piece away from contending?
its not realistic but would love to get Faried from the Nuggets. (there are rumors the nuggets mngt doesnt like him so I can dream!) - Give up Ennis/Mcbob/Cole +picks
PG - Napier/Chalmers
SG - Wade/Brown/Dawkins
SF - Deng/ Granger
PF - Faried /Williams/UD
C - Bosh /Birdman/Hamilton

We need a Center, not another PF to join Mcbob, Williams, Haslem and Bosh (Who is really a PF too).
Faried can't shot or defend anyone, we need paint defense.

Past three years I have said: Wade will go back to his healthy self this season. Heat are going no where with his bum ass knees.

Really? Was that before or after they signed him to a 4 year extension last month? Whoever that person is that said that, block them on twitter and change stations if/when they're on TV or radio.
Adrian Wojnarowski ✔ @WojYahooNBA
Denver Nuggets, Kenneth Faried have reworked extension agreement. Faried will sign a 4-year, $50 million deal, league sources tell Yahoo.'

Yes. The one piece is a new coach. There is NO reason this team should be this bad.

Why are we so terrible? There are pieces on this team. I mean how are the Bucks a better team than us? The Pacers without George or Lance Stephenson? WTF?
1 Piece...we need at least two pieces. That one piece, and a new coach. Spo has just flat out forgotten how to coach after four years of having Lebron validate his bad ideas.

Spo had better defenses than this with worse players, besides a prime Wade.
There is something wrong. I don't know what it is...
No identity whatsoever.

defense my friend.
Bucks in top 10, and are young, so they can fly around and be a good defensive team
Pacers have always been good defensively as well. They still have Hibbert and West too. But this team is 25th in defense... I don't get why the defense is bad. I am starting to think it's personnel.

Re: Is it possible We're 1 piece away from contending?
LOLOL I forgot about this thread. Funny shiiiit
Actually we are only 3 pieces away from contending I think. All we need is a 3 team trade like this one
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nwruxh5
R. Jackson/whoever
Wade/whoever
Durant/whoever
Bosh/whoever
A.Davis/whoever
Bench/whoever
Spo/whoever
I bet we can win despite Spo or anything else with this team. Do it!!
