Damn, Heat are looking good....

[Inferno]

Dragic - Chalmers
Wade - Winslow
Deng - Green
Bosh - Stoudemire
Whiteside - Andersen

Plus McRoberts and Haslem...:applause:

[BasedTom]

birdman and chalmers are probably going to get traded for scraps in the coming days

we have an 18 man roster atm :lol

[D-Wade316]

*health

[coin24]

If healthy they should be able to challenge the cavs..

But the biggest concern is spobot

[Cocaine80s]

Too bad Wade wont make it past 50 games

[Sportal]

Too bad Wade wont make it past 50 games

Why you gotta be so cruel :(, it's only off-season broski.

[eliteballer]

They shouldn't play Wade more than 30 mpg in the regular season.

[roffie]

wouldn't suprirse me if chalmers goes to dallas if they can't get dwill.. unlikely tho

[francesco totti]

Age. Its a young man game.

[Spaulding]

They looked good on paper last year too...

[HylianNightmare]

if healthy

[Dresta]

Why do people say 'if healthy' as if the Bulls or Cavs are any less injury prone?

[Trollsmasher]

no excuses

Did you not see them last year? That's why

[MP.Trey]

Hopefully they can stay healthy this year and keep the East interesting. I don't remember hearing much about Bosh's blood clots, will he be ready for the start of training camp?

[Akrazotile]

Age. Its a young man game.

Theres not as much truth to that as people think when it comes to succeeding in the playoffs. Older teams tend to fare better.

Btw OP what happened to Lebron's draft pick, that guy T-Boz Nappy or something? Is he even still with them??

[NBAplayoffs2001]

They should have picked up Reed from their summer league team before the Nets did. Dude can ball.

[longtime lurker]

Between Wade, Stoudamire and Deng, maybe they'll play 82 games combined.

I kid I kid. Seriously though they should start Winslow and have Deng come off the bench as a sixth man. Deng is terrible and Winslow can help space the floor.

Meh, I doubt he ends up much of anything. He's no Hassan Whiteside.

Deng really is terrible. Heat were probably begging for him to opt out. :oldlol:

[RidonKs]

lol at amare logging anywhere near the minutes mcbob will get if he returns to form. he'll be a stud next to whiteside assuming the latter doesn't go haywire ala bynum, which almost feels inevitable at this point

i really like this squad. i think they will be seen as 2nd tier contenders midway through the year.

cavs
warriors
spurs

rockets
heat
grizzlies
bulls
clippers

thunder are sandwiched in the middle of the two groups

sorry hawks but yall are sorta back in no mans land

[longtime lurker]

Pat Riley's reaction upon hearing that Deng opted in

[IncarceratedBob]

when's the last year haslem wasn't complete garbage? 2010? 2011?

[nosfan773]

They've been quietly putting together a nice roster since Bron left. Riley knows whats he's doing. They can definitely contend for the east if they stay healthy.

[NumberSix]

There's a decent chance that the Heat are going to lose Chalmers and Birdman.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Shabazz Napier...

Yes he's still on the Heat and will have another season to prove himself NBA worthy. Especially if Chalmers and Birdman get traded to shed salary.

[ArbitraryWater]

Why do people say 'if healthy' as if the Bulls or Cavs are any less injury prone?

exactly, we just saw the massive impact of Bron last year.. eternal MVP :cheers:

[eliteballer]

They've got plenty of depth to give the injury prone guys moderate minutes.

[jzek]

Yep, that's why I'm playing them in this year's 2K

I'll probably go 82-0

:bowdown:
