Miami is going to be nasty and James/Wade will be a highlight reel, but it's clear LBJ is more concerned about self-promotion and a $40m castle on star island than winning. Wade? Well he pretty much rapes us for 40-50 every game but that hasn't stopped us from going further in the playoffs.
There's hope and Free Agency aint over. CP3 is coming.

Alright sorry I panicked for a moment. I like the Lee pick but he traded him away for an over-the-hill Vince.
I still maintain that it was a good trade.
Had we not pulled the trigger when Turkoglu walked and instead kept Lee, Alston, and Battie I can guaran-damn-tee you that we wouldn't have a Championship either. We fell short, but we came closer than we would have standing pat.
I still think we would have made the ECF with Lee Battie and Alston. Charlotte and Atlanta were jokes. We may have done better in the ECF because Lee can play defense unlike Carter.

Chalmers, Wade, Lebron, Bosh, Shaq?

I think he is overrated too. He plays for the damn Raptors for crying out loud. I don't understand why people here are hanging themselves like the Heat just built the most incredible team in the NBA. They have 3 guys..3 guys..and the rest of the team is Joel Anthony and Mario friggin chalmers..their bench is non existant. They have no money to sign anybody, and will have to fill out the rest of their bench with Iverson's, Shaq's and McGrady's of the world..I still think the Celtics and the Magic are the best teams in the east. Miami will dominate in a couple of years, but next year I just don't see it. They will be good obviously, but not this unstoppable force that some of you make it look like they will.
I still support them as well.

No one is jumping off the Magic bandwagon, they are just saying what everyone knows but is trying to convince themselves is not true.
Saying we are boned is not the same as saying you are quitting on the Magic.

But we're not boned.
It takes a whole roster to win a title.
Right now with Beasley being traded, Chalmers is the only Heat player officially signed.
So say they then sign Shaq. That's 5 players. They'll be able to add maybe one or two more good players and the rest will be over the hill players (which Shaq already is) and D-Leaguers.
Plus, that team still has to defend.

Sweet more homerism!
Lebron james 09-10 fg%: 50.3%
Dwayne Wade 09-10 fg%: 47.6%
Chris Bosh 09-10 fg%: 51.8%
How long till the homer glasses come off, Magic fans?

So who on our team, right now under contract, is able to guard Lebron and Wade?
Pietrus?
lololol.
