Miami will be sick if they can get a few backing players, preferably someone who plays defense and maybe someone to handle the ball in the half court.

OSU usually has a good recruiting class...but yea. did you hear about how the heat did sign and trades for both lebron and bosh? they gave away like 2-4 1st round picks and 2-3 2nd rounders(1 2nd rounder from beasley trade). why would you waste all of that just so they can sign for 1 more year? it doesn't make good basketball sense. they also got mike miller 5/6 years for 30mil. as a lakers fan this team really scares me going forward(and OKC). if miami can sign some cheap and good players they could make a run next year. top contenders next year(in order): lakers, celtics, thunder, orlando and miami.

i'm thinkin heat will really take a year to fall into place as a top contender, though they'll still probably be very good next year. one thing i noticed about the NBA lately is that the best teams are getting better. there's like 4-5 great NBA teams and then a major drop off in good teams.
