Hell, it will have been a good run. I'll be perfectly content rebuilding if the Big Three all bolt. Doubt it happens though.

That would suck in my opinion. Call me greedy or whatever but I want Lebron to retire in a Miami uni.

Anyway, my buddy who is a Lakers fan keeps talking about this scenario, it's rather annoying since I hate LA.

So you're ok with the possibility of Lebron skipping town to play with Dwight in LA while we rebuild from scratch? I'm not too content with that. We need to do whatever we can to sign Lebron to an extension.

Great franchises don't just "live in the now" and not prepare for the future. Franchises that are also looking to the future stay in contention. That's why the LA Lakers have been competitive since practically the beginning of time, they're always looking for the next big move. I think that is something Miami has been doing as well for a good while.

[Wade County]

Look, even if LBJ or Wade or Bosh goes - I doubt Riles will sit and twiddle his thumbs. We're a proactive franchise, and will have a ton of cap space to go after plenty of quality players. I doubt we won't be competitive.

Im pretty sure Lebron will retire here. This is were he got the Ring...and probably more.

Here's the newest Inside the Heat called "Championship Culture"

Is Jannero Pargo's defense any good? We know he can hit shots. Reason I ask is it's pretty clear we could use a 3rd-string, vet PG, and the Wizzies just waived him.

[Jace]

Oh, and I wish we somehow could've gotten Andrei Kirilenko. I've been very surprised. I didn't know he had anything left in the tank (thought he was older than 31), let alone he'd be playing this well. He'd be a crazy-awesome forward to put next to LeBron. Oh well.

He's averaging 14/9/4/2/2 so far and is playing great D.

[Dee-Zy]

Those are amazing fantasy stats, I thought he was done, should of drafted him...

[Jace]

For those keeping track, Andrew Bynum has had another setback, this time with his left knee (cartilage damage), that puts his return further in question. Earlier this week the team announced that the bone bruise on his right knee would keep him from playing in a game until mid-January-ish. Who knows when he'll be back now. I hate to spin this as a positive for the Heat, as I wish him the best of health, but this could have implications on our draft pick from them. Whether that means we wind up using it to select a better player, or it becomes a more attractive trade chip to other teams, it's something to keep an eye on.

[Wade County]

Good point Jace, hadnt considered that angle.

Philly arent playing too bad without him though are they?

A top 20 pick would be nice though, we sure could use an influx of some sort of young talent.

[Jace]

They've been up and down without him. Might be like last year where they came out on fire, but it wasn't sustainable.

Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN
Sixers fear Andrew Bynum has done additional damage to his knees by bowling recently, multiple sources told ESPN. Story link coming.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard
Sources tell @WindhorstESPN & myself that Andrew Bynum hurt his left knee a few days ago while bowling.

That pick looks like its getting better and better.

Stupid question: It's photoshopped right? His eyes aren't really that messed up?
