Example:

If he goes 0-2 from three in the first half, I want him to stop.
If he goes 1-2 from three in the first half, fine LeBron, you can have another one.
If he goes 2-2 from three in the first half, god damnit keep shooting 'em.

Flash you hit it right on the head im with you 100% no one could have said it better. Lebron needs to recognize that and Coach Spo too. Since last year that has been haunting us in 4th quarters jacking up treys and jump shots at worse time. Our team is built to ATTACK FIRST to then kick out if need be to shooters play inside out. To win in Playoffs/Finals down the stretch needs to be grinding it out physical in paint not settling jacking up long jumpers or treys especially if you been shooting inconsistent all game. Thats why we have trouble with zone mostly we settle when we shouldnt. We need to establish the inside one way or another and have some ball movement not just run isolation plays for Lebron & Wade. This goes yes for Lebron mostly then Wade, Bosh and all team. Only jack it up if need be last second need a desperation trey something like that like Bosh did against Hawks at crunch time.

As long as it's Jones, Miller or Harris I'm fine with it :)

However if they're really clogging up the lane and bron bron hit's a couple three's he really opens up the defense.

We may have a chance to have a more balanced attack shooting treys and be DOMINANT in the paint if we were to try and trade Mike Miller, Joel Anthony, Mario Chalmers & James Jones for Amare Stoudemire. Knicks maybe interested in trading him since they have issues with him & Chandler down low and our trey shooters may interest them. That would make our team more flexible Amare been shooting the trey well lately and can space floor for Wade & Lebron to attack and we know Bosh can shoot the trey too at times would give us great versatility. We would need to fill 3 roster spots pick up a pg & 2 shooting guards who can defend & pure shoot the trey to make up for the trey shooters we traded away. In that case jackin up treys would be all good when need be depending on game situation. Would be a great BIG 4

That is a HORRIBLE trade for us. I know you're just joking though so it's all good, right? Please tell me this was a joke?

PG: Cole
SG: Wade/Harris
SF: LeBron/Battier
PF: Bosh/Haslem/Gladness
C: Amare/Curry

- We're left with only one true PG in Cole.

- Wade's new back up has played 91 more minutes of NBA basketball than you or I. HUGE fan of what Harris has given us but can he do it every night?

- Curry becomes our back-up C. Yikes. He's not ready, I'm more ready to roll w/Harris at this point.

- 3 of our best shooters are gone in Miller, JJ, and Chalmers

- Amare is shooting 41% from 3, but he's taking less than 1 attempt per game. Not reliable.

- Bosh is shooting 26% from 3 on about 1 attempt per game. Not reliable (Except in crunch time lol)

In sum we lose depth, and have LeBron/Battier become our only legit threats from downtown.

Do not want.

Edit again -

Didn't see this part

We would need to fill 3 roster spots pick up a pg & 2 shooting guards who can defend & pure shoot the trey to make up for the trey shooters we traded away.


Easier said than done. If it were that easy I'm sure a team like the Lakers would have done it already.

That would be godawful spacing. That trade doesn't make sense at all

We would DOMINATE with that trade Amare would be the Center he would space well with us he can shoot better than 80 or 90% of centers out there. The problem he has in New York he has to stay more on the outside being Chandler is clogging paint on offense since he cant shoot has to stay inside mostly maybe just come out to set screen/pick. With HEAT Amare woud have paint mosty since Bosh can shoot from outside & play inside too gives us ultimate versatility there. If we pick up a point guard get most decent we can out there, 2 shooting guards who can pure shoot the trey & defend thats all we need to fill roster. Wade & Lebrons back up would be Battier mostly sometimes or play alongside them when we need desperation trey shooting. Haslem could back up Lebron for a little mostly to defend or one of the 2 guards we pick up can if we can get a big one something like Miller & Jones size. We dont play a traditional line up our point guard/forward if you want to call it that is Lebron & Wade offense is ran through them so we dont really need true point guards but we can pick one up. We would have versatility and close to 100 points scoring just in our starting 5, much better rebounding than we have now and dominate paint having Curry as back up once he gets more time and gets into his old self. Jackin up good treys wont be an issue as long as we pick up guys who can and having a presence in middle like Amare would kill zone defenses on us :) Its more about running the right line ups/rotations in right situations than running their traditional positions.

With the guys we pick up we can make up for depth lost would not be so much we just need good trey shooters/defenders. I been Coaching 17 years up to semi pro Bball it will work. Any Coach or GM would love that trade i know its easier said than done but it would be great. Example look at when Celtics had 4 All Stars practically (even at that time Rondo wasnt an All Star yet) and they won it all we can make up for any loss wont be so bad. As long as we get decent pieces to fit with what we need its all good. 1 of those 3 spots that would be open we could bring back Eddie House maybe and pick up other 2 trey shooters/defenders depth wont be too bad.
