Heat Big 3 staying together

Seems that could be the plan. As a trio they can still be one of the more formidable partnerships in the league, however they need support. They need a true center and an upgrade at PG. Depending on the cuts the big three take, it is possible to upgrade those positions, while having the ability to put together a good bench.

That said, would Bosh be tempted to go to another team so he can be a main option, or at least play a bigger role than the number three option he is on the Heat? It is possible, would he consider here to pair up with Al?

Also, would LeBron see Cleveland as having a better starting line up at the minute with Iriving, Waiters and Wiggins as their main trio? It is possible he could bolt and join them. The Cavs have been tipped [again] to make a push for the 7th or 8th seed, with LeBron they could be a top four team in the East.

Overall they will probably stay together. But they have a lot of work to do to make sure it happens.

Melo is a huge possibility now that the big 3 all opted out. Also upon is haslem opted out. The heat have a record 55 million in cap room

It would be interesting to see if LeBron and Melo could work as a double act.

That cap space is going to make it an attractive landing spot for FAs. I wonder if the Heat will now try to sign LeBron to a max contract and keep the big three, with upgrades; or whether they will let Bosh and Wade go, and pursue other FAs to rebuild with?

The other thing, I wonder how the Heat fans would react if Bosh, LeBron and Wade walked in free agency, and they missed out on big name FAs to replace them? Worst case scenario they could end up tanking. Won't happen, but it would reveal how many of their fans stick by them...

I originally thought that there was a chance that they (James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh) could form a big four but with James gearing up for a max, there is no way it could work unless Bosh and Wade each accept $10 mil a piece.

I'm expecting James to get a max and Bosh and Wade to get $15 per.

The issue with the big four would be that it doesn't fix any of their issues from last season. Bosh at center needs to change going forwards. If he stays he needs to slide back to his natural PF, and they need to find a C.

On paper Wade, Melo, LeBron, and Bosh gives them star and fire power to be a contender for sure. But it still leaves them with weaknesses that teams like the Spurs will exploit, and perhaps we and the Pacers could do as well with some more experience and upgrades.

Wade and Bosh should only come back at 10 mil a season or less. James looks like is wanting a max, but if I was him I'd go with the 17-20 type deal again. That way the heat can use some of that extra money on a legit center and a better bench.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
