The Domino Effect Part 4
Which team is next on the list?
The Miami Heat have the third best chance of landing LeBron James this offseason. Why? No state tax on his salary, year-round great weather, the alluring party atmosphere of South Beach and...a potential Batman and Robin duo with Dwyane Wade. Life could be party time, all the time. A combination of LeBron and Wade could actually make Michael Beasley relevant. And with Miami's remaining cap space they could potentially bring in one more fairly large contract, an MLE-type player and a bunch of scrubs selected for the role player abilities to fill out a supporting cast.
Unfortunately, the Heat may have difficulties with frontcourt defense unless they acquire a defensive-minded center with the remaining cap space they would have. And unfortunately for them, the defensive-minded big men are very limited this offseason. However, despite not being a major market, the perks of playing in Miami would probably outweigh any negatives. It remains to be seen if LeBron and Wade could get along long-term. But I would be willing to bet that they could make it work.
Miami's chances of landing LeBron? 20%
