Realistically you have three primary scorers in their prime on one team. Isnt going to work I dont know if you can do 2 Alpha Dogs. Look how balanced Boston is--they spent their offseason filling in their depth(which was the reason why they didnt win it all) Thats why i don't think Carmelo and Amare on one team will work--especially if you thin it down. It sounds good but it would end up bad. I like what we did. If a guy or two had a bad pre-season or they dont fit--then we can adjust with moves. I think we can upgrade along the way here during the year and that doesnt mean CA. There is no team that wins with two primary scorers--it creates poor chemistry.

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen say hello.

Except for the fact that Pippen was not a primary scorer, not in the way both Wade and LeBron have been for their teams.

This group is going to have to create some kind of identity for itself, and it might take a bit of time before they mesh.

Of course I'm hoping that they never find that identity.

You also have to look at how they score, I think. James and Wade are too similar in their games, IMO, and Bosh is not a stud in the post- being more of a midrange scorer. If you have 3 primary scorers, I would think that you would want one guy like Wade/James, one guy who is a knock-down jump shooter, and one guy who is a dominant player in the post.

Actually it took Pippen and Jordan a few games to click when Pippen first got to Chicago. IIRC about a quarter way thru the season they got it and pretty much never looked back.

How do you define primary scorer? Scottie Pippen is a top 50 NBA player and amazing scorer. If he wasn't on the Bulls he would be the primary scorer. That's how I define it.

Stop attacking me like an ahole all the time. It's getting old. Especially when you keep bringing up my age and subsequently making me younger every time you do. It's lame and pathetic. End it.

Im not attacking you--Im asking you how could you see MJ and Scottie if you are 19 years old--that was near 12 years ago when they last won it. And if you actually saw them play you wouldnt have brought that up in the first place!

I'm not 19 years old and I've seen them play many times.

I brought it up because it is a valid argument.

But keep believing that we're better off without a perennial NBA all-star.

my man, the last time Jordan and Pippen played together was 1997-1998. Which is like 12 years ago. And you are 21, which is not very far off from 19.

Which means you are trying to convince us that at 9 years old or less you had any clue what was going on on the basketball court.

Any of the above far off?

Why don't you be straight-forward about what you are claiming?

Pippen wasn't a primary scorer on the Bulls, Portland or Houston. But he was a top 50 player cause of his defense, scoring, ball handling, and assist #s.
