    I think a Wade-LeBron-Bosh trio is better than a Paul-Wade-LeBron trio do to the simple fact that all three of them need the ball to be effect. Paul, Wade and LeBron are not good catch and shoot guys, while Bosh is and he has the size advantage.

    Lebron built the Cavs roster and we saw how bad that was. You think he knows what's an effective team and what's not?

    He's like MJ as a GM/scout in terms of power and effectiveness-- except he's still playing.

    :p

    Bosh looks already unwanted and already somewhat forgotten. Everyones talking about Wade and Lebron now. Bosh fades into his Steve Kerr role. Wade and Lebron are already Pippen and Jordan.

    ANOTHER speculation in regards to lebron that had been debunked.

    there were articles and quotes by GMs who claim lebron wasn't involved at all in cavs' players movements

    love how all these speculations are coming out. lebron is like gossip galore for the tabloids.

    He was the one who pushed management to get Ben Wallace, Larry Hughes, Donyell Marshall, Damon James, and a few other past their prime players.

    But Paul's supposed to stay in the west to manufacture the league's newest rivalry?

    LeBron James has been very active in his attempts to recruit players to come play for the Heat.

    "LeBron has done more recruiting in the last five days than he did in the last three years," said one Western Conference executive.

    James acted like a bystander during most of his time with the Cavaliers, most notably declining to give a commitment to free agent Trevor Ariza during the summer of 2009.

    LOL considering "pdcavsinsider" is way more reliable than any article some beat writer not in the know can come up with, I'd say this is really what happened. As usual, haters will hate :rolleyes:

    Back on topic, I hope the Heat trades Bosh to NO and forces him to play center. That way we can play Bosh 4x a season, and remind him every year what he turned down :p

    That would be funny. Beating Bosh and West 4 times a year would be really nice.

    I think everybody is forgetting how close Wade and Bosh are. If anything, we should wait and see if any kind of riff comes up between Lebron and the other two. If it does, Lebron could be the one traded to the West to team up with Paul somewhere over here.

    I see "____ needs the ball in their hand to be effective" thrown around a lot. What exactly does that mean, and whats an example of a player who doesn't need the ball in their hand to be effective? Not being an ahole, I really don't know.

    I guess he's talking about guys like Ben Wallace? Maybe Jason Kapono,Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier...those type of guys.

    My rebuttal to that is always team USA.

    Do you know the difference between "recruiting" and being "involved... in cavs' players movements"?
