This team is primed to three-peat but after that I think they're done. Everyone gets a year older, Bosh may want to leave, Wade's knee's are already tedious to take care of as is.

I'm not sure whats next for LeBron, he may love it in Miami enough to stick through some rough years depending on what Riley pitches him after this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he jump ship though, just who he is.

If I were him I'd stay, I'd love to play for a team like the Heat.

If they three-peat there will be exactly zero chance of them splitting up. You go for four in a row since you'd be only the second team in history to do it.

I would be tired of being treated like an afterthought when I know I'm a franchise player.

Bosh had a lack luster post season, but this season he has shown up to almost every game when Bron has been absent or Wade. He's a franchise player but no one (especially LeBron stans) gives him any credit for being who he is.

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, but I can see him leaving too.

hes not a franchise player but a really good player and many people recognize that.
the problem is he often bends over for bigger Centers and since thats Miamis biggest weakness he gets a ton of criticism.
but on the other hand LeBron and Wade always praise him and LeBron alone creates around 5-7 easy shots for him every game.
i dont think he wants to leave:coleman:

I wouldn't want to leave either, I just think he deserves more respect for what he does on that team.

Also Bosh isn't a center, he's too slender to play C but there's no one else on the Heat that's better at it than him. So thats why he struggles against legit centers.

And his team had HCA in one of them, I don't get why he doesn't get bashed more for that. Probably gets the "it's his first time in the playoffs" excuse. He's been outplayed by his rival counterparts in each of those playoff series. In 07 it was Kidd and Vince. In 08 it was Howard.

His time in Toronto wasn't anything to call him a great player, in the tier of a Duncan, Garnett, James, Nowitzki, Bryant, Wade, etc... His playoff numbers in those years show that he really wasn't one. He is a very good player, though, in the cusp of a Top 20-25 player or lower. Never perennial or a threat to be a Top 10-15 player. Never was the best player at his position either.

He was one of only two 20/10 players one year, but he wasn't top 10-15? :biggums:

24/11 means you're top 20, at best? :oldlol:

He was better than LMA, a player most considered top 5 this year.

Has the talent fallen off a cliff or are you grossly underrating Bosh? Which is it?

[Legends66NBA7]

He was one of only two 20/10 players one year, but he wasn't top 10-15?

I include playoff play (if were talking about 2009-10) in my criteria for ranking players. He gets docked for that, plus he was bad on defense that year.

Really don't see how he was Top 10 or Top 15.

Dunno man, he might be serious about building the right team etc, you never know
I think everyone opts in includng Lebron. Then in two years we see what happens. Battier, Ray, Lewis and more might retire after this year. Chalmers is gone after next year as I know a stupid team will overpay for him. Anderson too.

I didn't say he wasn't Top 20. I said he was on the cusp of Top 20-25. Top 20 usually means 16-20, so you could put him there.

It depends on how you played in the playoffs too. These would be the players over him that year, no real order:

Dwyane Wade
Kevin Durant
Dirk Nowitzki
Kobe Bryant
Tim Duncan
LeBron James
Dwight Howard
Pau Gasol
Paul Pierce
Carlos Boozer
Amar'e Stoudemire
Kevin Garnett
Al Horford
Carmelo Anthony
Rajon Rondo
Steve Nash
Deron Williams

^At least a lot of those guys are more than arguably over him.

There's also circumstances. If it was in Chris Paul's case, he was very injury prone in that season, he only played 45 games. So you can't really guage how good he was. He would probably be over Bosh too if he was healthy.

Bosh was pretty much equal to Zach Randolph that year (in terms of how their seasons played out).

Bosh doesn't have same sponsors as Wade and Lebron, so give him more.

Cole rookie contract continues while pray that Allen, Birdman, Oden and Battier return one more year for the min vet. Maybe get a famililar face like Mike Miller back for the min vet, and sign a few good players who'd like to ring chase for 5m each.

Chalmers makes 5m and will probably leave because some team will offer him more and Miami shouldn't offer him more than 5m he makes today.

Too much money committed to only three players though. Who knows if UD will retire... he also has a player option for next yr.

If Wade does a 3 yr 36M and Bosh/Bron take 15-17M a piece, then they will have some wiggle room to sign another player(s) and use the MLE. The rest of the team would have to be on vets minimum.

[LA_Showtime]

Wade isn't the same player he used to be, but let's not act like having a former superstar on your team in the playoffs isn't a huge asset. There's something to be said about having guys who have been there before. Plus, there are always those games or series where they turn back the clock e.g. Duncan's game 6 in the finals last year. If Miami completes the three peat and no one significant leaves, they'll be competing for the next three years at least.

[ArbitraryWater]

Agreed. This looks like the last great run to me... a 3-peat, and in 2015 I could see the Pacers sweeping us..

Who knows though, you never know. Predictions man

[KyleKong]

Does anyone else think Bosh would leave if winning a 3-peat?

Maybe go to his home town Dallas for a max contract and become the main guy again?

[DaSeba5]

I feel more comfortable about LeBron staying than Wade or Bosh, which is hard for people to believe. Bosh doesn't have any incentive to stay if he wants more money. I mean he's already got 3 rings if they 3-peat, even just 2 is great. Wade may want more money or something too. It's hard to say. I just don't know.

I used to think like you, why should Bosh leave money on the table to be a 3rd choice with 3 or 2 rings? But he has talked to well about Miami and his future here that I'm starting to realize that he won't be going anywhere. The guy is in love with the situation and living in Miami. He won't leave. But he's also the last guy to take a big paycut. He'll likely opt in and take his 42m in the next 2 years. Which honestly will leave Miami in a tricky situation.

Wade on the other hand is a more complicated situation for the Heat. He's a Miami guy and they'll have to keep him but at the same time, how much money do you offer him? Wade could easily get the max or close to the max anywhere else depending on years in contract. Miami obviously can't offer him that because of his knees and the fact that they have prime Lebron around. They don't want to invest 20m+ on Wade with prime Lebron there only to see him decline because of those knees and be stuck with an injured version of Wade.

Which leaves us to Lebron, the richest of the guys and the one who's gaining the most out of all of this since he's getting most of the glory and every championship is one step towards him being the GOAT. Would he be willing to go down to as little as 15 or 16m a year?

[Prometheus]

CelticBaller seems to be the only other person that understands this. Make no mistake,

IF THEY THREE-PEAT, THEY WILL STAY TOGETHER.

Boston in the 60's is the only team to ever win more than three in a row. If they have a chance to go for four, they will take it. 100% no questions asked.

[NumberSix]

LeBron legit might do a MVP+FMVP 4peat.

[EnoughSaid]

Let's say the Heat three peat this year. I can easily see Wade, James and Bosh moving down to $12-14 million a year and allowing for more room to add players. Haslem, Battier, and Lewis will probably be gone, Rio and Cole will get new deals, Beasley, Oden and Andersen will stay.

If Wade is healthy and Miami gets another defender and scorer they will still be the best team in the league.

[MichaelCorleone]

Retire, come back for another 3-peat.

5x NBA MVP
ROY
Scoring Champion
8x All-NBA 1st Team
6x All-NBA 1st Defensive Team
10x All-Star

[aj1987]

This team is primed to three-peat but after that I think they're done. Everyone gets a year older, Bosh may want to leave, Wade's knee's are already tedious to take care of as is.

I'm not sure whats next for LeBron, he may love it in Miami enough to stick through some rough years depending on what Riley pitches him after this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he jump ship though, just who he is.

If I were him I'd stay, I'd love to play for a team like the Heat.
Lets not act like LeBron played on 2704702 teams and that he's the first player to ever leave a team for better opportunities. Miami is his second team after 7 years on the scrubby Cav's. :facepalm
