i still want to know why the cavs poster listed joe harris, richard jefferson, matthew delladova and james jones. The only cavs that might crack the rotation is james jones, the other 3 will be juwan howard status

Re: Biggest flaw of the 2015-16 Miami Heat roster?
Here is my issue, the starting lineup needs a three point specialist. Bosh is our best scorer on the team and should be getting the ball in the post. The starting lineup does not have good post passers. Everytime i look at this starting lineup, i keep seeing Bosh standing at the three point line. He should not be the spacer, he should be the focal point to draw double teams and spacers around him. Especially now that he bulks up.

The same lineup sub Wade and plus Green isn't a better lineup, so I don't think it's that big. It's not like their the Grizzlies. As long as they can produce an efficient offense then I'm good. They have more than enough pieces, just have to make what they have work

This is about efficiency, We need to put our players in position where they can be the most efficient. And that you mention we may have to sub wade to bring in a three point shooter is where lies the problem. Our spacers are the subs for our core players. Instead our subs should be spacing for our core players.

Naaaah. He won't be standing at the three point line. One of the best pick and pop bigs in the game is Bosh. One of the best pick and pop guards in the game is Dragic.
When Bosh receives the ball, his man will likely be scrambling to recover to him. Which means a wide open lane for Bosh to shoot (if Dragic's man switches), drive and dish (help from Hassan's man), or drive and finish. That pick and pop will be our #1 play. If Dragic keeps the ball, he can wreck havoc inside or kick out to an open shooter or cutter. It's a very difficult play to guard.
Bosh and Dragon are about to earn those checks this year. Y'all gonna see. Everyone seems to glance over the p&p. But Curry and Green ripped the league apart with that play.

We have an elite/versatile roster, I don't think that's a bad thing. Dwyane might not be a three point threat, but in no way is he a liability. He's actually one of our best spacer's( http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/2000208-sports-and-racing-nba/70385063?page=1, sorry couldn't find original). Dragic's also a better shot than he's shown and Deng will likely be presented with far more opportunities than before(a really great fifth option)
And if Wade actually hurts the offense somehow, then having options to sub in is always a good thing. He's one of our best playmaker's but I think getting the ball out of his hands and having him focus on playing off the ball will help our offense all around and hopefully get him more involved defensively

As lethal as Dragon's and Bosh's p&p will be, let's not sleep on the Wade and Hassan P&R. The fact that we can switch back and forth between p&p and p&r every time down the floor is exciting. Just wish Deng were a lethal 3pt shooter to round it all up.

I know... but Deng brings defense and a decent all around game(not to mention consistency). He's not a bad three point shooter, and he's a leveled IQ player. I'll live with what ever he brings. He can shoot it or drive and kick it out or score inside(depending how opposing defenses decide to try him) We may need his defense more than anything else tho... I'd keep my eyes on him

Unsurprisingly it looks like there's little to no debate on how the team can help themselves out the most in terms of upping their collective 3-ball efficiency.
