Cap and Lebron Rant

[zm1283]

As Bill Simmons said in an article today, the Heat are going to be terrible even if they get Bosh and Lebron to go with Wade. The other nine guys on their roster will be awful.

Lebron should go to Chicago, but I bet he stays in Cleveland.

That would be different than Cleveland?

He is not coming to Chicago either. Boozer has done little in the post season and is not as good as Bosh. Rose is great, but has not much of the experience and scoring ability as Wade. I think the other parts are marginal at best on Chicago and I am not sure why everyone thinks Noah is going to be some superstar. He had one decent playoff and his team did not win.

It also appears guys are already lining up to play with Lebron in Miami if that is where he goes.

Ya' know, if everyone stopped going to their games and watching them on TV, they'd all be out of a job.

I think it's the TV money.

My impression is unless you're one of the "haves" (LA, Miami, Boston) you should be ok, but I see allot of "have not" teams/struggling for revenue as many "fans" are priced right out of the arena.

I also see it as being very cyclic too depending on many factors - i.e. when the Wizards were good, the fans were there, then not so much. Now that John Wall is here......well, we'll wait and see. And, if your team is NOT good and your opponent doesn't have a "superstar" draw, why go?

The money train has to end sometime doesn't it?

Of course, we've been saying that for yrs too.....

Was watching the White Sox game on WGN on cable this afternoon and one fan had a sign that said "Konerko is our LeBron".

Players who aren't awful but are on the Heat roster:

Udonis Haslem (always good for 10 & 8 in 25-30 minutes, 50% FG)
Mike Miller (2nd in NBA in 3FG% in 2009-10)
Mario Chalmers (hit biggest shot in last 10+ years in college basketball, solid contributor as a rookie)
Da'Sean Butler (AP 2nd Team All-America last year, called "steal of the draft" by some experts)
Jarvis Varnado (NCAA Blocks Record)

Those are some decent players. However, I wonder how many shots any of them will be taking this season. James, Wade, and Bosh will want 25 shots apiece, and there just won't be much left over for anyone else. Miller's numbers will go down. Haslem will bo OK because he will work the boards. It's going to be very interesting watching these guys try to play together.

I do not agree with that at all. For one I think they are intelligent enough to realize that is not going to happen. They obviously came together knowing they were not going to each be the "man." I think based on match-ups each player will do what they do best. LeBron has the best all around game and I could easily see him as more of an assist man than the top scorer. I think it will be fluid and will change based on who they are playing. I can even see one of these role players being the high scorer if a team is intent on taking away the top guys.

All we can say it will be fun to watch.

Peace
