I think it might be a disaster. I think Lebron isn't going to have space to work in the lane and he'll end up taking a lot of bad 3s. I guess it's only a year experiment, and if they can sign Bosh before New York in 2010, Lebron could still stick around.

As a Suns fan, I have to tip my hat to Steve Kerr for turning this team from a championship contender to a full-on rebuilding team in only 2 seasons. He's really made his mark in Phoenix :shake:

This is not going to work like they want it to. Basically, they have a deeper rotation at center now...and a very good one at that...but James still has no secondary weapon and the team has a bunch of #3 or #4 scorers. They're not going to beat San Antonio, the Lakers, or Boston with this lineup.

They can beat the Spurs (who I don't think they'll have to worry about anyway) and Celtics with this lineup...a lineup which isn't complete yet.

Lakers...I don't know.

Magic...absolutely if Hedo's gone.

you know the Spurs just added Richard Jefferson and have a healthy Manu coming back, right?

The Magic have a starting lineup with 4 all-stars.

What else can the Cavs do? They didn't move Wally when they should have and now they wont get anything out of that contract.

That won't get the Spurs past the Lakers.

Vince hasn't been an all-star in years and is a step down from Hedo. Hedo was huge for that team and possibly the most indispensable guy they had.

The Cavs have their MLE and BAE to use. They can go after Sheed and a guy like Anthony Parker with that.

to say vince hasnt been an allstar is stupid. allstar=popularity, except for the reserves, and even then....

Vince putting up big numbers on a bad Jersey team doesn't mean much. Lots of guys put up nice numbers on bad teams. He's not VINCE CARTER! anymore. He's jumpshooter Vince Carter.

Hedo fit that Orlando team perfectly. I'd love to see Vince handle the ball and run the offense like Hedo did.

Cavs will open the season 10/27 at home against the Celtics.

So a 1-0 start to the season is a certainty.
