That's true but what about the Bulls? Do you not think they have improved drastically this year and even continued to play great team ball without Rose?
I'd rather follow their model than the Heat's.
Get me a Luol Deng for Melo if Melo doesn't start playing D.
Get me a Josh Smith over an Amar'e.
Realistically we can't get Deng, but I believe we could get Smith and he'd put more out there than Amar'e.
Could we get Batum from Portland? This kid really impresses me overall and is brilliant on D.
You can keep your Amar'e and Melo line up.
Give me
Lin/ good back up
Fields/Shump/Walker
Batum/JJ/Novak
Jsmoove/JJ/Harrellson
Chandler/good back up.
TEAMS WIN TITLES. Look at Dallas!
Dirk is better than Bosh but other than that do the Mavs have anything better than Wade and LeBron? No.
They had a team, a belief, passion and a commitment to play as a team offensively and defensively. They had a chemistry.
IF Amar'e and Melo want to buy in this year then great, if not, draft picks and underrated defensive players are your friend!
In an unreal trade I'd die happy if we could somehow get Batum and LMA with Melo and Amar'e being involved but that's clearly never going to happen.
I get where you're coming from but that lineup doesn't cut it. Nowhere near enough scoring there. No one you can go to when you straight up need a basket.
Dallas had Kidd, the Jet, Marion, Dirk who can all put up 20 a game easily. They had SOLID 7 foot backups. They had Barea who was like their Jeremy Lin last year. Dallas was a stars aligning type Championship everything came together at the right time and everyone went their own way after.
As much as you guys might not like it there's no way Melo and Stat are gonna come back and "earn" their minutes. They are the stars of the team and they will come straight back to 30mpg as soon as they're ready.
Now there is a newfound belief and confidence in the team I believe they will slot in a lot nicer than before.
