He'll make them a little better than the Knicks.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Miami as it currently is, is a conference finals team. But that is if they remain healthy. They are one piece away from a championship contender, and that piece is Kevin Durant. If Durant can start at the 3 with Deng coming off the bench, they are in the finals. No way will Lebron be able to guard Durant on the court, and Deng when Durant leaves the court.

Miami is probably the second best team in the east, fighting it out with the Bulls. They are a well constructed team with excellent depth now, and Amare in limited minutes will help them. They get Bosh back, McRoberts back, Dragic for a full season, Whiteside playing for a contract for a full season etc...
Don't sleep on Miami.

Half of the teams in the league are one piece away from title contention if said piece is Kevin Durant...AtiliusRegulus wrote:Miami as it currently is, is a conference finals team.

I bet Durant can't wait to join Miami to carry a broken down Wade and soft as tissue Bosh.AtiliusRegulus wrote:Miami as it currently is, is a conference finals team.

If Wade is re-signed for the amount of money he wants ($15-$20 million per season), then the Heat can't re-sign both Whiteside and sign Kevin Durant. I've already posted previously that the Heat don't have bird rights for Whiteside, meaning they can't go over the cap to re-sign him like they can do with Wade. So either Wade takes a huge cut, which I don't think he plans on after this past season debacle. Or Whiteside is re-signed for less than market value, which I don't think a guy currently making $900k is planning on doing.AtiliusRegulus wrote:Miami as it currently is, is a conference finals team.

Dragic
Wade
Deng
Bosh
Whiteside
Bench: Amare, McRoberts, G. Green, Winslow, Ennis, Chalmers
That's a stacked team. But they have no chance of getting past Cleveland.
