DWade
Chris Bosh

Carlos Boozer
Amare Stoudiamire
Dirk

i forgot that the Nets will probably end up taking Derrick Favors in the draft so not sure if they'll target Boozer

Put your predictions in by July 1st.

I updated mine.

2011 NBA Champions - Los Angeles Lakers

Only if we're lucky Ninja.

LeBron - Bulls
Joe Johnson - Bulls
Wade - Heat
Bosh - Heat
Boozer - Knicks
Amare - Nets

DMN is reporting Dirk will become free agent...we can add him to the list now

Dirk - Mavs

Added Paul Pierce and Dirk to list.

Updated my predictions.

Get them in before 11:01 pm

Lebron James - Cavs
DWade - Miami Heat
Chris Bosh - Miami Heat
Joe Johnson - New York Knicks
Carlos Boozer - Chicago Bulls
Amare Stoudamire - New York Knicks
Ray Allen - Chicago Bulls
Dirk - Dallas Mavericks
Paul Pierce - Miami Heat

Lebron James- Miami
DWade- Miami
Chris Bosh-Houston in S&T (Yes a homer pick)
Joe Johnson- New York Knicks
Carlos Boozer- New Jersey Nets
Amare Stoudamire-New York Knicks
Dirk-Dallas Mavericks
Ray Allen- Boston Celtics
Paul Pierce-Chicago Bulls

I hope your homer pick is right.

Bron: Chicago
Bosh: Chicago
Joe Johnson: Bricks
Amare: Bricks
Dirk: Dallas
Boozer: Miami
Wade: Miami
David Lee: Nets
Rudy Gay: Nets


Chicago:
C Noah
PF Bosh
SF Deng
SG Bron
PG Rose

Nets:
C Lopez
PF Lee/Favors
SF Gay
SG Courtney Lee
PG Harris

Knicks:
C Amare
PF Chandler
SF Danilo
SG JJohnson
PG Toney Douglas

Miami:
C Pittman
PF Boozer
SF Beasley
SG Wade
PG Chalmers

Conflicting reports have the Raptors doing a trade with Miami.

Being reported by a Canadian news agency:

the Raptors are poised to complete a sign-and-trade deal with Miami that would see Bosh go to the Heat for power forward Michael Beasley, point guard Mario Chalmers and forward Joel Anthony.

...and so it begins.

If that's true, Miami probably gets Bron and fills out their roster with lower level names, too.

What gets me is who would they have on their team besides those three. You can't fill the rest with vet minimums, but I think you have to when you have three guys taking 100% of your cap.

That's the million dollar question -- Can three superstars win a title with the rest of the roster = the people posting on this board? Looks like we may find out.

When I was a junior in high school, I shot 6 for 8 in a game against the eventual district champs. So **** off.

And Hostile dunked over Bosh in HS.

C: Hostile
PF Bosh
SF James
SG Wade
PG Ninja


It's cool, Stern, we don't need subs.

I just think that no matter how you slice it, Bron+Bosh, if they are a tandem, are better off with the Bulls than the Heat.

Wade has missed 21-31 games in 3 of his 7 seasons.
You would have 10 minimum-salary players surrounding the big three.

In Chicago you have a bigger market and you have Derrick Rose, who isn't a huge downgrade to DWade. (21points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds on 49% shooting compared to Wade's 26.6 points, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds on 47% shooting.)

You also get 18 point/7 rebound Luol Deng. Luol also hit 39% of his threes last year. You get Noah, a legit 11/11 machine and all-around attractive man [no homo.]

And you get a nice backup in Taj Gibson, who averaged 9/7.5 in just 27mpg last year as a rookie.

Add Bron and Bosh to that and you are tons better than Bron+Bosh+Wade+10 guys off the street.

Lebron: Bulls
Bosh: Bulls
Wade: Heat
Stoudamire: Heat
Johnson: Knicks
Boozer: Nets
Lee: Knicks
Gay: Nets
Dirk: Mavs
Pierce: Celtics

Lebron: Bulls
Bosh: Bulls
Wade: Mavs
Stoudamire: Knicks
Johnson: Nets
Boozer: OKC
Lee: Heat
Gay: Knicks
Dirk: Mavs
Pierce: Celtics

My general philosophy is that given equal money, players won't leave nice weather markets to go to bad weather climates.

Lebron James - da Bulls
DWade - Miami
Chris Bosh - Bulls
Joe Johnson - Knicks
Carlos Boozer - Miami
Amare Stoudiamire - Knicks
Dirk - Mavs
Paul Pierce - Boston
Rudy Gay - Memphis
David Lee - Raptors
Ray Allen - Celtics

Lebron James- Bulls
DWade- Heat
Chris Bosh- Bulls
Joe Johnson- Knicks
Carlos Boozer- Heat
Amare Stoudiamire- Knicks
Dirk- Mavs
Paul Pierce- Celtics
Rudy Gay- LA Clippers
David Lee- Nets
Ray Allen- Celtics

Lebron James- Bulls
DWade- Miami
Chris Bosh- Bulls
Joe Johnson- Knicks
Carlos Boozer- Heat
Amare Stoudiamire- Knicks
Dirk- Mavs
Paul Pierce- Celtics
Rudy Gay- LA Clippers
David Lee- Nets
Ray Allen- Celtics

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

Lebron- Chicago Bulls (max)
DWade- Miami Heat (max)
Bosh- Chicago Bulls (max)
JoJo- Atlanta Hawks (max)
Amare- New York Knicks (max)
Dirk- Dallas Mavs (max)
Boozer- Miami Heat (max)
Ray Allen- Chicago Bulls (7 mil)
David Lee- OKC Thunder (10 mil)
