His two 18m sidekicks have rapidly regressed and there's NO better spot for him? We know that isn't true. Battier and Mike Miller are his roleplayers and they're about one more long season away from not being able to walk. Chalmers is still so inconsistent as a PG that they runa "no pg" lineup a lot.
If CLE doesn't mess up this draft, it'll be a great spot for him to go if Waiters and Thompson develop, Kyrie would already be the second best player on the Heat going into next season, oh and he's from Ohio, so that return just makes too much sense, that it won't happen.
I don't think going to LAL makes any sense for anyone but the Lakers, unless Dwight stays on and they're prepared to let Kobe retire elsewhere and get nothing back from Pau. At this point I'm not sure James would even know how to play with a legit rim protector, a 16mpg Shaq is about the closest thing to a center he's had in his career
I'd love to see James play for a team like the Warriors

Yes. Cap room would be a problem though. I'm looking forward to what the Warriors do this offseason. Unfortunately, we have the useless Biedrins taking up $9 million in cap space this season. Useless player.

TAKE THE WHITE GUY FROM EUROPE WHO IS INJURED AND HAS NO DISCERNABLE OFFENSIVE SKILLS? I think that fits your description.

Smash Parker. Kwame Brown. How the hell can you say Lebron's Cavs were terrible when the Lakers outside of Kobe weren't half as good?
And someone is really saying a 45% shooting percentage for a guard who scored 35.4ppg is bad? Dumbshits

No. It's the fact that Durant averaged slightly less points onsignificantlyless shots. That point isn't retarded at all. I don't know what world you live in where taking 10 shots and netting 5 points is agoodthing, but I'll stick to real life where efficient players do more to help teams win.
Kobe hovers around 45% shooting for his career and got away with it during his best years by getting to the line a ton. But "one of the greatest offensive players of all time"? Give me a break. Wade, LeBron and Durant have all had league leading (or close) scoring seasons shootingmuchbetter from the fieldandgetting to the line just as often. But yeah, you're right. Kobe took 10 more shots and scored 5 more points so he's better than all of these guys.
His stat line doesn't live up. And you won't find a single advanced metric that says it does. Maybe that's something you don't give a fuck about, but whenallof them (PER, WS, WP, RAPM) say the same thing, that he is good but not great, at some point you have to give up leaning on PPG. There is a lot of involved with winning basketball games and you'll find that there aren't many championship teams out there with their best player shooting 25+ times a game at a low 40s clip. Kobe isn't the exception to the rule here. He played on really good teams.

First, you obviously don't know what the word guard means or that Durant is a forward. Centers tend to have the highest fg % followed by forwards, then guards last. It's pretty terrible that you don't know this.
So besides the fact that you clearly don't know shit about shit. It's over 7.3 points a game, not 5. And it's 9.5 fga per game, not 10.
So a guard on a way worse team shooting 6% worse, but 7.3 more ppg than one of the best offensive forwards ever. Fucking terrible

To put it in perspective LeBron shot 41% from 3P this year. Kobe shot a measely 4% better from the floor that year.

Yes, it is true. Being comfortable with your teammates and knowing how to play together is more important than anything. As was said before, that Dirk said he thinks they only won because they played them before they really knew how to play together yet.
On paper there might appear to be better teams, but Bosh would put up better stats if he joined a shitty team where he HAD to be the #1 option again. Kyrie's stats are great when he's in charge, but bring Lebron in and see if his assists and points don't drop with Lebron holding the reins.
There'd be at least a year of retooling the team after James joins. They'd go deep in the playoffs, but they wouldn't beat a team like the Thunder or Spurs in the finals, and would likely have trouble with the Pacers in the East.

Bosh makes the Heat work. I seriously doubt that. Oden looks good in workouts from what everyone is saying. He would only have to play 20 minutes a game or so anyway and even then only against certain matchups. Besides he was in Portland, they're notorious for having shitty doctors and trainers there. They've fucked up more than a few players.
