    I imagine it depends on how the Heat do in the playoffs. If they crash and burn, somebody other than Wade could be traded before next season begins (whenever that might happen).

    Just saw the Press Conference.

    Bosh basically called out the Coach for him not getting the ball in the post.

    Wade called the coach out for not playing certain players on the bench.

    I think youd be best trading D wade for something like marc gasol and rudy gay (hypothetical), then either Lebron or Bosh.

    Wade is the incumbent that recruited the other two to Miami. He isn't going anywhere.

    If they make a trade they are not getting rid of 2 of those players.

    My guess is Bosh would be the guy they traded if one of them is going to be moved.

    A_3PO, I'm a bit perplexed. IIRC, Al Capone, as the OP of the Official Heat thread, told all of us that the Heat was LeBron's team after one preseason game, right?

    We have people saying it's D-Wade's team, we have others saying it's LeBron's. Who's the guy? It's the home stretch of the season and this question is still unanswered.

    But a team meeting will rectify the situation, right?

    I don't think any of them are going anywhere after just one season together.

    Having said that, incumbent or not, I think Wade would be traded before James if it came down to one of those two. James is the better player and he's younger. There is no loyalty in pro sports.

    Well based off who is getting the ball down the stretch of these games I would say LeBron.

    LeBron is considered the better player by most when debating him and Wade.

    Bron is getting the ball in these clutch moments. I always thought the debate about who would get the ball down the stretch was a lame argument because I just figured they both would get them about equally just depends on who has the hot hand. It's been mostly Bron in these late moments and I guess because in those games he was playing better than Wade at the time.

    Yes there is. If one of them is traded in the offseason, it won't be Wade. Riles is cold-blooded but he and Wade are tight. Wade also led them to their only championship. From bits and pieces throughout the season, I don't get the sense Riles has ANY closeness to LeBron or Bosh. In fact, it's possible he and LeBron actually dislike each other.

    There is little loyalty in sports.

    I agree the Heat probably won't give up on the trio after one season, but it may depend how they lose in the playoffs.

    Which is completly wrong. I really hate the idea of blaming the coach ONLY. Sure, the coach sets a lot of plays he decides who he keeps on the floor, etc.

    But come one, he is not playing on the court. He ain't responsible for L:eBron missing layups and open 3s late in games. He is not the one responsible for giving up easy points and Wade missing key free throws late in games.

    Come on, let's face it, he has two superstars, future hall of famers on the team. Shouldn't they be blamed too? It is also not Erik's fault that Bosh plays like a pu*sy every single night and can't get a damn rebound or block.

    The one thing he is responsible for is for playing Mike Miller at all. The guy is EASILY the worst player on this team and maybe even in the entire NBA. He is getting at least 3-4 WIDE OPEN 3s every single night. He is not making any of them. He got 5 year deal and he is doing nothing, it is actually sometimes like the Heat play 4 on 6. The guy SUCKS. He should be out of the rotation no matter what. You have a 3 point shooter who actually won the award this year so why not use him, when Miller can't buy a bucket?

    That's his fault. I mean Erik's.

    We hear fans shouting MVP when Wade's shooting free throws. So it's still Wade's team.

    But wouldn't it be funny if he was the one traded. Actually, it would be funny if LeBron got traded also. Just imagine if one of the superstars got traded to somewhere like Sacramento or Minnesota, I wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

    Actually, I heard fans chanting MVP for both Lebron and Wade during the one of these last two games.

    Maybe they can do a one-hour special:

    The Decision, Part II: Team Edition

    And Riley announces, "We are shipping LeBron's talent to .... "

    Only douchebag clipper fan thinks he knows the world.
    You are getting fed with fox propaganda and feel arrogant for no reason. Last time I checked, US is borrowing trillions from China to get you food stamp, you should be grateful.

    ignorance at its best. I live in the US but spent many years in China and no, you get the games the same as you do here, except with some incompetent announcers. and no, china has an authoritarian government but it is not communist, please do homework before displaying your stupidity
