Miami will be favored again. The Bulls will be good, but I think Miami will be in the finals again next year. The networks will love it too.

I'm pretty sure there contract trouble in the league on the horizon.....
If they actually clear up all the $$ matters, it's unlikely Miami will look anything like they do now with an inevitable new salary cap. Even if they keep the big three, they won't be as attractive to needed other talent.
Throw another year on Wade. His 15 are up.

You would think so but who knows with new coach. It would be good tv at least to see a lakers/heat matchup.

I think this is the worst Miami team we see, and they made it to game 6 of the NBA finals. They could trade Bosh, maybe. But really they just need to get some better role players. Get a guy who can shoot the three consistently. Obviously Mike Miller sign did not work at all. And get a LOW POST GUY to get some offensive rebounds. Dalembert is a F.A.

You New Yorkers are quite hilarious...Reality Check: New York is garbage
Teams better than NY:
Miami, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, Memphis, SA, LA, OKC, Dallas, Denver, Portland, and about 8 more western conference teams who didn't make the playoffs.

Im on Portland @ 30/1. Was a little surprised because I actually saw them @ 18/1 for MGM.
If Oden is healthy, best NBA front line. Roy is a top 3 clutch player, and was a top 10 Player in the NBA when he was healthy.
If they add a younger PG even more dangerous. Stuckey, Brandon Jennings, Devin Harris, Kemba, etc. Dream scenario would be adding CP3.
Cant wait to see what they do. Blazers @ 30/1= great value.

I think they'll win the Championship next season. They'll acquire a few more pieces they need and learn from this season. They won't trade Bosh.

what a waste of money to bet these things, you money is tied up for a year and then if you happen to lose it took a whole year to wait for the loss. There is no point in making bets like this just double your bet on your first pick your really confident in when the season starts and then your money wont be tied up. Gl though. Also why would miami trade bosh he played better than lebron in most of these games.. If the knicks would fire this a$$hole coach we would definitely be a contender but it dosnt look like that is going to happen. They can get the points no problem its just the defense that is lacking and thats all the coaches fault. If you saw in the season the 2 games or so they decided to play D they played it great, i dont know what that idiot is thinking hes ruining it for us. Melo is obviously one of the best players in the nba he just needs a better coach and they need to listen, if thibs was the coach they would be a contender for sure. Melo just bought a house about 10 blocks from my house in hewlett harbor im sure ill be seeing him around here ha.
You have way too much faith in Kobe. He's getting old. He's not 23 anymore... he'll be 33 starting next season.

i dont agree about mike miller. what hurt this team somewhat is miller and haslem had no time to gel. miller is an asset i hope they keep. joel anthony was a surprise with his effort. there will be a veteran more skilled than juwan howard that will come for the minimum to get the ring. riley will not get this close and not get the job done. if dwight howard doesnt go to la, okc to win the west is a best bet.

OKC, Bulls (if they get a decent C), Boston is out for me.. I offer you odds +3500 on them winning the NBA in 2012. Portland looks nice, but they get injured too often so can't really rely on them. But I'd really love to see that Oklahoma reaches the Finals. If Westbrook doesn't play Jordan that's not a dream. Should be an interesting summer and can't wait for the season to start
