You must have just started front running with the Heat???...
With DWade, after getting swept by Chicago (0-4) in the first round of the 2006-2007 playoffs they followed that up in 2007-2008 with the worst record in the league. 15-67 (0.183)
That Heat team w/o Lebron would most definitely beat this Heat team. Look at the roster. It's basically the same with a more healthy, younger Wade.
You must also listen to a lot of radio and Colin Cowherd who is notorious for sucking off Lebron. He loved to point out that the Cavs went from first to worst without Lebron but what he won't mention is that that Cavs team was a shell of itself, battling injuries and major roster changes after Lebron fukked them. Once he left the Cavs cut bait, reduced salary by trading assets. This meant, new coach, new players, no one healthy, playing with D League guys most nights and they still didn't have the worst record in the league.
The Cav's are making all the right moves after Lebron and are in a good position to be one of the top teams in the East in a couple of years. Miami is going to have some tough decisions regarding Bosh and Wade with the new salary cap. I think you see them find a way to deal Wade or make him sign for the league minimum which is going to be tough for his ego. I actually think Lebron is going to bail for NY, Chicago or LA. He's too much of a front runner.
