That's what we DON'T have. See my post above. The Heat are the ones who have "the ingredients."
It could or it could not work. Camby, KT and Kidd are old as hell. Felton was trash Portland was too happy to unload him. But we're not asking Melo or Amare to win it by themselves. We have quiet a number of guys who have different forte and whose each contribution can lead to collective team success. Think Mavs 2 years ago, experts said they'd lose in first round, but a collective team effort, led by vets who (at that point) had not won a ring, their hunger unified them and they had a common goal.
It is that hunger and the belief "we can" from vets (Camby, KT) who can really make us special imo. We're deep, so minutes are going to be spread and noone is going to have to play 40mins. Hopefully by going deep, we're going to share wealth too (ball sharing, etc). This will make us less injury prone and keep our health intact, and keep the "team" theme among players, coaches, and that **** owner.
I love Lin, I think with him we'd be SUREFIRE title contenders. He learns rapidly and puts his team interest ahead of his own and has a knack of making everyone follow that model and vision. Felton was a bust last year, but imo there's good chance he'd be motivated to play his best ball if in return he gets Ws and imo there will be pressure from the old vets who don't want no BS this year, including from him. He'd have to be a total **** to show up the same guy he was last year this season.
