Could Miami Have The New "Big 3"
The Boston Celtics made the deals to get Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in the summer of 2007 to play along side with Paul Pierce to form the "Big 3". Now its talk that there could be a younger and maybe better "Big 3" forming in Miami by the end of this summer's free agency. Yes the rumor is LeBron James and Chris Bosh could be joining Dwyane Wade in Miami playing for the Heat next season. The Heat have more then enough money to sign all three to a max deal. Right now the Miami Heat only have five players under contract as of today and the Heat are still thinking about moving Michael Beasley who has 3 years left on his contract which the 2nd year is an "team option" and the 3rd is a "qualifying offer" so you know there are teams out there looking to trade for him just to free up cap room for next year.
To me the question for the Heat is the same we all were asking the Celtics 3 years ago can Wade, James and Bosh play together? A lot of people would yeah just look at the Olympic games in 2008. That's very true the whole Olympic team played together very well but that's the Olympics this is the NBA where egos are much bigger right? Maybe not I think all 3 want to win bad, Wade wants his second ring, James wants his first and Bosh just wants a chance to win one for the first time in his career. To me stats will be the last thing on their mind because the bigger picture is that NBA Ring. The great thing about having 3 players with the talent of these 3 is anyone can take over the game and drop 30 or more on any given night. With all 3 having the ability to score it wont be so much stress on them to have to go out and score 30 or more points every night (mainly Wade and Bosh) just to get their team a win. On the other hand if egos show up this wont be a good thing at all for this team next year if all 3 are in Miami next year. Plus they still need the right role players around them next season for this to work out. Just because all 3 may be on the same team together doesn't mean Miami will see a championship. If Boston didn't have players like Kendrick Perkins, James Posey, Eddie House and Leon Powe they wouldn't have had the season they had and wouldn't have won the Boston Celtics their 17th NBA Championship. Keep in mind that the NBA Free Agency period starts this Thursday July 1st.
