ideally you'd want bosh to be better on defense and as a rebounder, but he's not exactly dirk in that regard, either

bosh is fine -- he's a good fit in that he shouldn't be the number 1 option on a team and is overqualified as the number 3 -- and he helps the heat space the floor

he's not an elite floor spacer though. 45% from 16-23 is good, but it ain't great. and obviously that's the furthest extent of his floor spacing.
Imagine how much better they'd be with Kevin Love instead of Bosh. That would be a fit.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:33 (twelve years ago) link
bosh is prob a bad fit in that a distributing/defending point guard or dominant defense/rebounding center would be much more useful than jump shooting pf.
i think cole will fill the first role. and yes, a dominant center would be better, but that wasn't an option. it's why i have high hopes for either curry or pittman. if either work out (and i really think curry will), then bosh fits in very well imo.

cannot see kevin love on the heat. cannot.
this is pretty stupid, matt -- GMs have the freedom to put together players, but with some restrictions -- i.e. no GM will get to add derrick rose, who is one of the top 25 players in the nba -- or dirk nowitzki -- and so on and so forth― How many days after a period?

But they can find players who "fit." Terry/Kidd fit together. Nash and Stoudemire were a perfect fit. GMs put them together.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:34 (twelve years ago) link
you can't say that teams across the leagues are as poorly assembled from a fit perspective-- plenty of teams aren't. They just don't have the talent level in their star players that the Heat has.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
right, but that's a perfectly fine balance?
― How many days after a period? Started by Tuomas in December 2011 (v-shasty), Monday, 26 December 2011 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
lol which teams are actually "well-assembled" in that their three best players compliment each other perfectly or close to it?
― cad, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
i mean saying kevin love would be a better fit is potentially true, but it's also a total fantasy that never could've happened, so it's kind of stupid to argue about
also nash & stoudemire were a good fit offensively, but that team never made it to the finals in large part cuz neither of those two guys could guard a barstool

but they don't have to be perfect complements. They just have to fit together better than the heat's trio, which is a low standard to meet.

because Kahn thought Love sucked until the middle of last season.

this is ridiculous and you know it--the contracts make up for any perceived issues with kevin love
― cad, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
after the 09-10 season the Wolves front office had a film session and concluded that the only player who looked like an nba starter to them was Darko.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
i mean you could make the argument that khan would trade kevin love bcuz there's little shot that he'll sign an extension there, but i'm pretty sure that khan would be looking for someone better than chris bosh

dude, Kahn hated Love. He thought Love was really overrated. Love began the 10-11 season struggling to get more than 30 minutes. Everything changed with the 30-30 game.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 December 2011 03:47 (twelve years ago) link
anyway i think you could easily make the argument that the leauge is wide open for the heat this year -- the bulls should give them a tough test, but i don't see any team in the west beating them -- the heat are a terrible match up for okc, imo

the mavs are punting this year, the lakers don't have a shot. clippers will be good, but not good enough. idk. if the bulls can't manage to beat the heat i think they might walk to the title.

but starting next year, mavs will win the next 15 straight titles.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 26 December 2011 03:50 (twelve years ago) link
i'm still pretty skeptical of the mavs' ability to get those three guys -- i think both the lakers and magic will make a panic trade before the deadline

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- More strange but true: Heat tied a franchise-worst with 8 points in the fourth quarter today
i return to my previous opinion that the heat will only win 26 games this year.

not that dwight howard isn't worth it, but their cubbard will be pretty bare beyond howard and an aging kobe.

Like when Jim Buss says they're not giving up both Pau and Bynum I'm inclined to believe him, since he just gave up Odom for air.
