    Can Miami find a passable center? They seem pretty solid defensively overall.
    Would be sweet if they somehow snuck a better record than the Cavs

    Remember the good old prehistoric days when he was leading the Toronto Raptors thorough all those playoff series?

    Centers aren't impressive this year. Emeka Okafor, Birdman, DeJuan Blair, Jason Smith, Bynum..

    Maybe they could still jump into the Gasol train. But it sounds like he's committed to the Bulls.

    To be fair, his best Raptors teammate was TJ Ford (after Vince Carter left). TJ was pretty good one season, but it just doesn't compare to Deng and even 70% of Wade.

    Miami will be OK. But they just got pounded by the Spurs with LeBron, so just lump them in with the rest of the Least I mean East.

    This is not bad, Granger and Deng can make a comeback with Miami, like how Boris Diaw made a come back with the Spurs.

    If Erik Spoelstra is as overrated as I think he is, then Granger is as good as done.

    Unless Spoelstra is a knee surgeon..

    Granger had bad knees since college. This is all up to the medical staff and nature at this point.

    The Heat will be a playoff team. Hoping to see Heat vs Cavs in the playoffs.

    Granger will bust his ass, but he is DONE. He has zero lateral quickness, no explosiveness. He cannot get his shot of and was literally the worst perimeter player in the NBA at finishing under the basket. It is too bad because when he was healthy, he was an all star caliber player.

    Maybe he and Roy can go play a game of horse.

    Miami looking pretty solid. I hope flash comes back and ****s on everyone doubting him...funnily enough, I also sort of doubt it'll happen.

    People keep claiming Kobe will be all but an all star even though he tore his achilles and broke his knee... why not Wade:grin:
