Heat & Hawks

[geeman]

You know this would never happen, but if the heat had JJ and the hawk had D Wade both teams would be better. It just goods to show you " be careful what you wish for, yom may just get it! "

IT WILL NEVER WORK IN MIAMI! I see a meltdown comming!

So you see the problem as Lebron and Dwayne Wade are both too alpha or just that their games are too similar? I would counter that I think Bosh was the wrong choice for the 3rd amigo and they would have been better off with Boozer because of his work on the block. It would balance the team better and make them more formidable. The biggest problem seems to be Lebron though. At the end of games he's not trusting his teammates nor is he fully trusting himself. At the end of the Knicks game Wade was working open for a shot and Lebron didn't wait for him instead launching a low percentage 3 pointer. I don't know if it is a lack of trust or fear they will outshine himself, but he isn't passing when the situation calls for it. The drive he attempted against Chicago was soft with an awkward shot attempt when he could went strong to the hole and likely got to the free throw line. Maybe he chokes at the line, but fear of taking those free throws is contributing to bad decisions. Personally I don't want him to figure it out because he's on Miami. I've got plenty of issues to concern myself with here in Atlanta.

Joe would be accepted more if he had signed a Rudy Gay type contract.Its more Robin money at about ~80 million total.I would rather have JJ anyway because he can take over against smaller guards, while Wade needs a legit Big to help him and like evildallas said, Boozer should have went to Miami, while Bosh in Chicago and Lebron to NYK.All would have been in a better situations, including the Hawks if JJ signs something like Rudy did.

I'd take Wade anytime over JJ. He's faster, more creative, harder to guard than our 120M sg. The Heat main problem is that their best players (Wade and Lebron) need the ball in their hands in order to be productive. Another BIG problem they have that we are very familiar with is the lack of PG and C. They have no one to throw the ball in the post( Don't tell me Bosh is that guy) neither a PG that can make good decisions down the stretch. If the Hawks had Wade instead of JJ, the Hawks would be the 3rd or 4th best team in the East instead of 6th.

I remember Joe said he would sacrifice to play with Lebron in NY,I wonder how that duo would of been

Joe obviously lied about in hindsight.

LeBron and Wade have been fine...the money they spent on Miller and Bosh looks like a mistake. Bosh reminds me of Iverson,Arenas, and Carmelo in the fact that so much of overall value is based on drawing fouls(which usually acquires alot of ball dominance unless you are Dwight/Shaq)....that his flaws are more apparent when playing on a better team where he gets less touches. It's quite a bit different than when Boston added one of the best passing and defensive PF's of our generation along with the best shooter of our genreation back in 07.
