    That's a no brainer. Miami. First of all I don't dislike Miami, and I strongly dislike LA. If anyone is classless it is LA. They have Kobe the rapist, Artest the fan beater, and so on. LeBron's biggest flaw is maybe overconfidence, maybe a lack of focus.

    Hard to answer, there is sure to be some ring chasing vets join, as it stands now... big fat NO. Why?

    -They're terribly weak inside, centers like Yao/Dwight/Gasol/Bynum/Duncan/KG etc. should have field days against them.

    -The current big dogs Lakers actually have the perfect balance to counter them, with Ron Ron and Kobe capable of semi stopping the Wade/Lebron combo. They have two decent players inside(Heats current weakness) in Gasol/Bynum, Bosh's defense is far from great. The Rockets and Celtics also have this nice setup of good bigs and wing stoppers.

    Good point! BUT, my point is that LBJ, DWade, and even Bosh have been the "man" on their respective teams. The ball is in their hands most of the time. How is that going to work out, now that they are together? And Miller might want to get a shot every once and awhile.

    Not this year.

    The Heat will have some local support, a few bandwagoners and a ton of haters.

    This was not good for the NBA in the long run.

    Will they win a championship? Almost assuredly. Will they win a championship this year? Maybe, but I don't think so. Mike Miller's signing did as much to make me think they would as LeBron's, but I still think they need to fill some major holes.

    They still have a huge hole at the most important position on the floor, and I don't see too many really good options to fill it. If they start Dexter Pittman at Center, they won't even make the Finals.

    Does it not say how screwed the joke of a salary cap this league has that these 3 can join the same team, and people still think la will win.
