The Heat were outscored by 36 with LBJ on the floor in the finals. They outscored the Mavs by 22 with him on the bench. An amazing stat.
Pretty crazy. Wonder if they'll consider moving one of the "big 3" with Chris Paul coming available (this year?). I would tend to doubt it, but its an interesting thought.

are Kobe and Dirk the only two players still with a trade-veto clause in their contracts? Could LBJ be traded to a shit team without his ok?
I like this line:
LeBron James had the right to leave. And Cleveland has the right to laugh.
Also, good article: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=dw-wetzel_cleveland_laughs_at_lebron_james_061211
Chris needs the ball too.
Lebron to T'wolves for Love, the second pick and the Twolv'es other first pick this year . Then take Derrick williams and a combo guard.
They'd had been a lot better off with K. Love this series than LaBron (hard to believe I just typed that but I think it's accurate).
If they got the second 1st round pick, they could get Singler, Jujuan Johnson or Kenneth Faried. Miami also has the first pick of the second round to get one of those or even that kid from Charleston.
Love is the perfect player to play next to DWade. He can hit the pick and pop. He's a great passer, a great rebounder and a great outlet passer.
Their D would be suspect, but they could score and run with anyone.
Obviously they'd trade Lebron for Dwight Howard in a heartbeat.
Is any of this actually possible?
What about the Lakers going after Dwight?
The T'wolves could absolutely trade Love for Lebron. They would be that far under the cap.
I think Miami might have to add $1-3M in salary going back to Orlando. I think Howard is paid more than Lebron.
The Lakers are going after Howard.
I had this same conversation with a co-worker this morning. It becomes a possibility if/when a hard cap is put into place. If that happens they'd only have a few million dollars to fill out their roster. In that scenario trading one of the three for complementary pieces to the two remaining players makes a lot of sense.
But obviously Miami could reel off 6 titles in a row with the current roster and diffuse any such talks...so who knows? It's fun to think about right after they failed to win this year.
street fighter fans will love that.
