Nalod thinks Bosh wants to be paid and will leave but Wade-Melo-Lebron trio is very doable.

Also a good defender and I cant remember the last time he missed a game. Cole's rookie contract is almost up, hope Phil tries to pry him away from the Heat, wont be easy though.

I like the idea of that

They already won 2 rings...going for a 3rd. Melo doesn't gain anything going there right now. If Melo goes to Miami, and they lose, that would be the worse thing that could happen to Melo. If he goes to Miami and win, everybody will say they would've won with or without him. But at the end of his next contract, I can see him going to Miami, Spurs or any ready made championship team. Assuming he doesn't win in NY, which I think he can under Phil Jackson.

I think him and Phil will use Miami as a blue print and try to do the same thing they did, using Melo like Pat did with Wade to help orchestrate the next championship roster (built around Melo), but do it in NY. Maybe steal Bosh and add Love. I don't know, just throwing out names. Fisher as the coach with his Durrant connection? Phil by himself will draw players as well, like Kobe?

At this point in Phils career, you have to trust that he can build a championship team in 2015, since he will have a clean slate with cap room and total control. You see what Phil can do when he has star players on his team....Bull, Lakers.....next up.....NY. For most coaches, a star studded team would be easy to win a championship. But for Phil, it's almost a guaranteed win. I give him at least 1 championship during the Phil Jackson era. Theres always vets hanging around hungry for a chip, that would love to play in NY, for a ready made championship run, which is what we will be during and after 2015. I don't see how KD could turn down the chance to play near his home, for a coach like Fisher, with other stars seeking a championship, in a market that turns stars into superstars, and a GM with more rings than fingers. But thats just me!

No way he goes to miami for a lose vs lose proposition. Probably no chance he stays here either.

Papabear Says

The league will stop that deal just like they stopped Chriss Paul going to the lakers.
