I don't expect the heat roster to look like this when the season starts, so we'll see.

Blake Griffin is still their second option, so I sure as hell don't view them as a threat.

okay. Everyone assuming the Heat are just going to 3-peat, with a bunch of old *** 30+ year olds.

You have got to be kidding me........

No matter what, Lebron's gonna think real hard about his future. Even if they're celebrating a third ring. The way that team is built, it's going nowhere within a season or two. Pat Riley's gonna feel the pressure to find another FA star (cause they'll have cap space, right?) just as much as every other team next summer.
Only a FOURTH of it is guaranteed... does that ever happen with big contracts like that?

Right now Indiana and maybe Brooklyn are the only teams I'd take serious in the East tbh nothing personal against you, Rose or the current Bulls roster.

I really hope we get him.
Tie up all that cap space so we can't get anyone else which will guarantee that we won't be any good.

Umm....The Spurs have some of the most fundamental basketball players in the world; followed by the best coach in basketball. They're systematically are ageless under Pop. They don't rely on fastbreaks and free throws (flopping in the paint) to win games. .
The Heat have a bunch of 30 year olds coming off the bench, all who are no threat going foward.....good luck Heat "fan".

If it works out the way you want, that would be the second 2011 Laker to come to the Mavs and steal Cuban's money.

DOnt mean to keep harping on this. But you are like the 6th person to post in recent pages that the Clippers will either be the #1 or #2 seed in the west. Why? What makes the Clippers so good in you guys' eyes? Where do you see this marked improvement from last season? I know Chris Paul is great and all....but he was great when he was a Hornet. Didnt see people picking the Hornets to win the East back then.

Just looking at the West standings from last year...
OKC 60 wins
Spurs 58 wins
Nuggets 57 wins
Clippers/Grizz 56 wins
Warriors 47 wins (6th)
Lakers 45 wins (7th)
Houston 45 wins (8th)
I could honestly see it taking 50 wins to get the 8th seed next season. I really don't see why OKC, Spurs, Clippers or Grizz would win less than 55 games. The Clippers did not get weaker, nor did Memphis. I guess most are expecting Denver to not win 57 games being that they lost Iguodala. I do think they are good enough to win 50 though.
I don't expect the Warriors to pick up 10 additional wins, but they will be close. Maybe end up with 54-55 like the Clippers/Grizz. The Lakers will drop out. Matter fact, I really can't say the Pelicans will get that 8th seed. Injuries will be their biggest issue with Tyreke and Gordon. Minnesota may end with that spot. I also expect Houston to be in the 54-55 win range.
So, there are 6 teams I could see winning close to 55 games this season in the West (OKC, Spurs, Clippers, Grizz, Warriors, Rockets), which is only 1 up from last season. Being that injuries are a big part of the season, one of these teams might fell at doing that and drop a few games. Tie breakers are going to be HUGE.
