I know he said New York, but Brooklyn is close enough, and will have a new arena. Harris, Lopez, Favors, Anthoney, and SG is better than anything the Knicks could offer Melo, and I'm not trying to hate on the Knicks.

Even if people want to say that Wade and LeBron have the advantage, which they probably do, the difference between Kobe+Artest and LeBron+Wade is not nearly as big as the gap between Bosh+[expletive] versus Bynum(going to win the rebounding title next year)+Gasol. Rebounding will kill the Heat.

Bosh is a dick-head, and I bet LeBron and him clash, especially since Bosh was [expletive] about not wanting to go to Cleveland.

That's what I was saying. I'm sure LeBron said some things that mislead Cavs management. The one thing that stood out was Gilbert saying that LeBron was "disloyal", which leads me to believe that LeBron told him he wanted to stay.

It'd be cool if they lost to the Cavs this year, Knicks next year, the Bulls the year after, the Nets the year after that, and then the Clippers in the Finals. .

I think it would be the funniest thing if the Cavs beat the Heat. .

None of us actually know any of the conversations that Cavs management and LeBron had, so maybe James said some things about re-joining and mislead them......

IFFF Bynum is healthy, this Lakers team would dismantle the Heat in 6 games if they meet in the finals. The more and more games I watch, the more and more I realize how god damn important rebounding is, and the Lakers are EXCEPTIONAL at it.

Which would you rather see? Would you rather see an exciting 7 games series with an O.T. buzzer beater between the two most stacked teams? Would you rather see a once in a life-time dynasty formed? Would you rather see the Cavs take out the Heat in the ECF and beat the Lakers in the finals? .

WOW! . Holy [expletive]ing [expletive]! .

And, what exactly makes you think Melo will go to New Jersey? He could fit in great on the Nets and Prokorov will try everything to get him, and the Nets could deal Devin Harris+ if they need to in order to get CP3.

WOW! . Holy [expletive]ing [expletive]! .

IFFF they make the Finals and the Lakers are there, I really think the Lakers have the slight edge. and that mainly comes from rebounding, and banking on Andrew Bynum playing well. If Andrew Bynum is healthy, and the Lakers make the finals along with the Heat, I think the Lakers will win.

Surprise, surprise............

Real men recognize when it's time to move on and make the best of their opportunities, which is what he did. He doesn't want to be like KG and stay loyal for absolutely nothing. I think it's dumb people are hating on him for WANTING TO WIN!!

I have my doubts about the Heat now, but they may tear the East a new [expletive]-hole. However, I honestly think IFFFFF they made the finals, and had to face the Lakers, they would be at a disadvantage. I'm also really surprised all three of them are willing to play together.

Very interesting. Too bad the Heat will still get smacked by the Celtics and Nets in the next few years. .

I thought you didn't like Bill Simmons.

I had been having a real hard time seeing him with Wade AND Bosh, but I'm not so sure now because of how much hype the Heat are getting. I'm still betting against him going to the Heat mainly because of how much money he could make in bigger cities, and he would want to be the clear cut #1 option IMO.

We're not saying they are lying, but it's funny how only Heat fans have "inside sources", and they claim it's because everyone will see you in Miami in public. We all know you wouldn't be seen in New York..........

Is Akron just outside of Miami? .

It's funny that only the Heat fans on this site are the ones with their "trusted sources" and "reliable inside sources". .

Well, I think they will take it easy on the physics since it's a three year project that they have planned.

This is the UNDISPUTED best sports video game franchise out there now, especially with the new physics engine being implemented, that none of the other major sports games have. The only game that comes close is Fifa, and it's still a distant second to the NHL series.

Cavs: 30% Heat: 30% Knicks: 30% Nets: 10%
