What do you think happens if...the Miami Heat get the first pick in the 2008 NBA Draf

[technophobe]

Imagine a team with D Rose, D Wade, Lebron and Bosh. That would be fun to watch.

Lebron never makes it to Miami...they wouldn't have the space.

Wouldn't rose still be on his rookie contract though?

Yes, which still would have been too much to make the big 3 work. They had to trade Beasley in order to make the money work.

They had to trade Beas just to make the money work.

Edit: King already answered my bad.


But technically, if they had Rose, they might could have traded off Chalmers instead.

With that said I don't think Rose and Wade are that great of a fit together. And Rose and LeBron would really only be a good fit if there was a good shooter at SG, which Wade is not. But it's still a **** load of talent none the less. Miami might have been better fitted with Love, Lopez, or Ibaka.

It's probably a Lebron/Wade/Rose big three. Bosh goes somewhere else. We sign higher quality rotational guys instead.

That's what I think would have happened, the Heat probably could've signed a backup pg for cheaper than Chalmers. If Rose, LeBron, D Wade, and Bosh managed to join together on the Heat, do you think that they would be good enough to get to the Finals without any money for bench players?

I think the difference would be Rose's health. If Rose is mostly healthy, yes they'll be in the finals every year. They probably beat the Mavs the first time up, beat OKC, and split with the Spurs. So 3 titles instead of 2.

If Rose is injured like he has been in Chicago they probably lose the East a couple times to the Celtics, Pacers, or Nets at least twice. So 2 finals appearances instead of 4.

I completely agree. You have any idea if Miami's health department (doctors, etc.) is better than Chicago's?

All NBA teams have good doctors and training staff so I wouldn't say any are better or worse than others. (except maybe the Suns, they must have some desert voodoo magic...)

It was unlucky that he got hurt in the first place, so my post was going off the premise that the injury never happened. He was MVP the same year Lebron and Bosh joined the Heat, so Rose at that level with the Heat would have been unstoppable.

Yeah, I asked about the medical staff because of the Suns and their extreme healing abilities. I don't think the injury would have happened to Rose, he wouldn't have to exert his body so much in Miami with so much talent surrounding him and thus be less likely to be in an unlikely scenario to get injured the way he did.

I thought this was thread that someone fished up from the bottom... I was shocked to see that this was made a few days ago ha

Chicago could've had Noah/Bosh/James/Wade/Rose in 2010, didn't have the space because they didn't trade Luol. It would've been very hard for them to keep Noah and Rose(money wise). Also, does anybody else hear about us trading the pick for Melo?

No they couldn't have. The Bulls had enough room for a little over one max contract. Trading Deng would have only gotten them two of the three. Nobody was going to clear enough room to land all three of them except Miami because they knew what was going down the whole time. Having Wade already on the roster was huge to making that whole thing work.

Wasnt everything planned from the jump tho? So chicago never really had a chance. At least thats what i remember hearing.
