anyone sense a pattern here? at least 2 bigname guys on each team & all of them won championships

no guarantees that Lebron would win one playing w/Bosh but i like our chances w/that formula over him winning one w/D Lee & Al Harrington, & i'm willing to bet Lebron probably feels the same way

that formula would work better if Bosh was as good as you think he is. He's not. All you do is cast off quality home grown talent to pay a guy as much as the star your bringing in and he's not worth it. You can do a lot better with $17mm worth of other FAs than Bosh

u don't think Bosh is as good as Gasol? come on dude... Lebron is 1 of the top 2 players in the game... u don't need a HOF talent to play alongside him for him to win, just someone who will keep other teams from keying in on Lebron all the time & take some of the pressure off... Bosh can be that player

Reaction?

"Trade the constants of this near-constant misery, especially Chris Bosh, who was taken out of a crucial stretch of Wednesday's embarrassment in Orlando because he was, to use Triano's word, 'tired.' (The all-star, as much as he is putting up great numbers on a bad team, is 25 years old, couldn't lead a Cub pack, plays defence like it's optional, drags around a massive knee brace and, come summertime, will be asking for a six-year maximum-dollar contract worth more than $130 million. I say trade him to the team that thinks that's a good bet.) String up the GM by the virgin-emu-leather soles of his $1,000 loafers ... figuratively, of course."

Magic/Kareem/Worthy/Scott - that was no two man team.
Bird/Mchale/Parish - they weren't called the big three for nothing.
Duncan/Parker/Ginoboli
Isiah/Dumars/Lambeer/Rodman

Even the Knicks had Ewing/Starks/Oakley/Mason in 94.

Not saying there's no way Bosh/LeBron could win but a lot of the teams you mentioned had other guys that were all-star or near all-star level players when they were winning championships.

the point is that u need AT LEAST 2 big name guys to win it all in this league... first u gotta focus on getting those 2 bigname guys, then u build the rest of the supporting cast... the way this franchise has been trying to do things the past decade has been ass backwards, bringing in support players to build around 2 players we don't even have.

dude, the '94 Knicks didn't have what it took... we were lacking that Robin to go w/Ewing's Batman... Starks, Oak & Mase were supporting cast players, not go to guys.
