I cant believe this is happening
« on: July 08, 2010, 02:15:33 PM »
Reports are that Lebron James will join Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade in Miami. Can you say 6-peat? Its not even funny how good they're going to be.
When they play the Nets, it might be 160-70 lol

I'd laugh my arse if they don't win a championship. They still have to go through the Celtics and Magic, then the Lakers.

While Ive been saying since day 1 that its going to be the three of them in Miami, the problem is what is Miami going to do with the rest of the team.  While Chris Bosh could play center and leave Beasley at power, what are they going to do about backups.  They only have Chalmers and Beasley under contract atm, they cant expect those 5 to play the entire game.  Will they have the cap space to sign backups with the possibility of having close to 3 contracts absorbing most of their cap space?

They could sign a few undrafted players for the league minimum (Sharron Collins, Jon Scheyer, Manny Harris, etc...) but I don't really know how much they have. I'm hearing on Arizona sports talk radio that the Heat are trying to trade Beasley to open up some more cap space, so we'll see what happens with that. I don't think they should trade him, he could become a superstar as well with all the open shots he will be getting.

Edit: Beasley makes around 4.5 million, if they get rid of his contract, they could sign many league-minimum players to be their bench, but I like Beasley next year because of the quality of players around him.

Yeah ESPN is reporting that Lebron is going to Miami, baring anything changing between now & his announcement tonight, I was hoping he'd come to Chicago to play with Noah & Rose. 

This is gonna hurt Cleveland's economy, local merchants are gonna notice a drop in sales without him there to draw in tourism.
