BLATCHE close to signing with the HEAT

Miami would've still had Bosh.

He signed with them before Lebron.

According to Sam's logic a player should never leave his team no matter how shit it is, and how terrible the management is.

No ... real masucline competitive logic says you don't go to a court to play ball and see the two best players on it playing with each other. The competitive balance is uneven.

The best, most talented player in the world shouldn't be having to team up with the 2nd or 3rd best player at their peaks in order to win.

The best players ideally want to prove either one is better than the other by leading their teams, while out performing the other guy.

I wouldn't expect someone who isn't a competitor to understand. Oh, and Cleveland's managment wasn't bad. Bron had the shit planned to team up with Wade for over a year.

Oh well. It's not like MJ didn't have Scottie/Phil/Rodman/etc.. We've had this debate ~100 times. Stop pretending like LeBron had help in Cleveland. Dude was their top scorer, playmaker, and defensive anchor ('09 and '10). He wouldn't have had the need to team up, if he had better teammates.

Also, your last sentence is idiotic. Why the hell would he play as hard as he did in '10, if he was planning on bolting since the start of the season. You do realize that he had one of his best ever season in '10, right? Probably a top 10 GOAT season. 29/9/8/2/2 on 61% TS in the Playoffs as well.
