Dont get me wrong, I never wanna see the Heat lose and it actually bums me out everytime we do...but imagine Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley teamed next to Wade!Insane. Still - theres a long way to go before we go down that road.

that would be the smart move. the absolute worst franchise-killer thing that could happen is us picking it up around the all-star break and making one last push for the playoffs and either just missing out or getting the #8 seed and getting swept in the first anyway..
tanking would no doubt be the smart long-term move and i think this is the best opportunity we're going to get at it. i think we really need to take this.
i've said this before but obviously witha team of riley+shaq+wade+haslem, theres about 0 chance that we intentionally tank in anyway, atleast not until game 60 or so, with no hope at all, and then it'll be too late to tank (coz chicago wuld hav a big headstart on us
)..
