Not only is the bench horrible, but there's no guarantee you can even keep Troy Daniels in this scenario.
When Miami got LBL/Wade/Bosh...everyone worried about the bench. They made it work for a few years. I have trust in Morey that he could fill out the bench.
That's why we should really try to S&T for Bosh. Lin and pick to 3rd team (Bucks,76'rs) Bosh to Rockets Multiple future picks to Heat
RFA just like Parsons. Jones off the bench automatically gives us a scoring threat we didn't have last season to play with the second unit. Daniels is coming into his own. The MLE would be great to sign someone else but I don't think that bench is terrible. Also some VET minimum guys could come in and help.

Out of the 6 players: Wade from then Lebron from then Bosh from then Harden from now Dwight from now Bosh from now The only one you'd take on our current setup is Dwight. Wade and Lebron were better than Harden by far and Bosh was clearly better as a younger player. Harden/Bosh/Dwight is not nearly as good. You are counting on Bev and Parsons to be enough to make up for the difference.

They will likely have to renounce his rights to get to this max offer. It's been discussed in other threads.

It needs a backup wing and a backup C (DMo will be gone). But Jones and Daniels are good, obviously. It's more like: Beverley/Canaan/Johnson Harden/Daniels/Johnson Parsons/Free Agent/Garcia Bosh/Jones Dwight/Bosh/Free Agent Which is fine.
