None from the top of my head so far. The Heat getting Greg Oden doesn't sound far fetched to me. The Blazers
didn't offer him an extension. Robin Lopez might be on the trading block, but I suspect that they'll be wanting to get rid of Hedo and Lopez may be part of the package.  But if Pat Riley can complete the biggest FA signing ever then I think he can get a solid C with a good post game.

The hate for Miami really is quite funny; LeBron no doubt handled the situation terribly but it was well within his right to leave an awfully managed Cleveland team. I'm sure he got sick of making Mike Brown look like an above average coach, and after Dan Gilbert's comments, his decision was all the more vindicated. 

That's for sure, I'm sure Riley has a few people in mind. Oden, if he can stay healthy, would be a great option and he's already said he wants out of Portland. 

Where did you think Lebron was going to go, btw? Personally, I thought the Nets were a great option; Harris and Lopez are two fine players, and Lopez is one of the best younger centres in the league in my opinion. Add Lebron to that mix, and maybe David Lee (who is the most underrated PF in the league in my opinion) and the Nets would have been pretty frightening; they certainly would have been set up better than Miami are now, just not with the full on talent level the Heat have. 

Saying he handled it terribly was an understatement.

There was like no way he could of handled that worse without committing a crime.

It's probably the worse PR move ever.

Outside of like... OJ Simpson killing his wife... and the sad thing is... that's not an exageration.

That's the only time I can think of public opinion swaying this much.

One thing that I really think sets people off is a subconsious realization of the trouble that would bring if more people DID do this.

Think about it.  Money doesn't REALLY matter, 30 million or 25 million does it matter for the stars when they have 80 million dollar shoe deals?

So lets say stars start making superteams like Lebron and Wade did.

There is no point in having a team outside of Florida, California, New York, and Texas.

They offer way more then any of the midmarket teams can in the terms of intangibles.

I actually bought into the " Lebron to Knicks " hype a couple years back. But during the summer I believed he was heading towards Chicago. He said that he loved the city. It was reported that he was looking for a house. They even set him a nice little package. Not to mention that they have a great supporting cast in place with a great defensive coach in Tom Thibadeau. The only problem I see occuring would be the same one in Miami :
Who's going to have the ball ? Derrick Rose has never played off the ball in his career. And Lebron needs the
ball to be effective. But IF Lebron went to Chicago instead of Miami just imagine a trio of James, Rose, Boozer with good role players in Noah, Gibson, and Deng ... DAMN !

To be honest I think you're forgetting quite how good the teams used to be back in the 80s and 90s. Jordan, Pippen and Rodman? Bird, Parish, McHale (and Len Bias had superstar potential remember). The Jazz had Stockton and Malone, the Hawks had Dominique and Moses Malone in the late 80s too. 

Hell, look at the Lakers now, and even the Celtics, they're aging but those teams are stacked; Lebron and Wade being together doesn't put them over those teams. 

Chicago seemed like a perfect place, and let's not forget, the Bulls had the potential to grab Wade as well, and maybe even Bosh if they lost Deng and I think Noah. It's a shame everyone hates Cleveland so much, if Lebron had played somewhere nicer they'd have come to him and people wouldn't hate him haha. 

I firmly agree D-Wade is underrated, in my opinion he's every bit as good as Kobe, but purely from an ability standpoint no player in the league can match what LeBron does night in night out. Of course, every big player on the Miami team will suffer statistically, but once that team gets going I'm not sure who's going to be able to stop them. They've been shredded by fantastic point guards this season, but I can't see Erik Spoelstra not allowing Wade or LeBron to take over defensive duties in the playoffs if they come up against the Celtics. 

Tonight's game will certainly be interesting; Boston are as good as anyone when they want to be, but it remains to be seen if they can keep that intensity up consistently. They played that home opener like it was game 7 of the finals. It's just a shame they didn't show the same intensity in the actual game 7. 

No way LBJ or Wade would allow that. Bosh is overrated, I think that's accepted by everyone, but he's still a solid 20/10 on a normal team with a bit of confidence. I think a guy like Brook Lopez would be absolutely perfect for this Miami team, but unfortunately there aren't many of him going round and what do the Heat have to offer? They could possibly, at a stretch, target a guy like Robin Lopez or maybe even entice Portland to part with Greg Oden but he obviously has massive injury issues surrounding him. Any other mid-level centre you guys can think of? 

The Utah Jazz and the Atlanta Hawks you mean?   Teams that stacked themselves through having good GMs?

It's a bit different then 3 friends deciding to play together in Miami because they like the club scene.

What Superstars are willingly going to want to team up and go to Utah?
