For Miami, don't forget that Winslow is going to work on his 3 all summer long while also becoming fully superhuman.

Combined roster? I could see them getting the 7 slot.

I think Knicks get the 7th or 8th
Vogel is a miracle worker so I'm not counting out Orlando for the 8th seed.
Indiana had the potential for 2nd to 4th but we'll have to see first how the new coach will do. They are top 4 material on paper.
Toronto will still be be in the top 4, as well as Boston. I see Detroit and Atlanta going for 5-6, and 7-8 would be wildcard positions.

With Thon providing that veteran leadership I could see them getting the 6 seed.
if butler can hit his 3's like the year prior to last season this could be a halfway decent team......Butler and Mirotic on wings. Butler was shooting nearly 40% thibs final year. Seeing him at the 3 full time will be interesting. Mirotic shot 40% from deep as well last season, he seems to slowly getting used to the NBA and he plays much better at the 4 than he does 3.

In terms of tiers
1. Cavs
2-4. Celtics/Pacers/Raptors (favor Pacers at 2.)
5. Hawks
6-8. Some mix of Bucks, Pistons, Wizards (likely). Would have to reserve judgement on Bulls and Knicks, I have zero clue as to whether they will perform above expectations or burn in a highly entertaining fashion

You forgot to add McD, who shot 42% from 3. I don't get the complaints about the shooting. Where was the great shooting for the Heat last year? Hell, Rondo shot better than Dragic from 3 on an identical number of made 3's per game.

well good thing we won't have to worry about that
This is significant - any reason given?
Fun to watch him play. More of a freak show attraction than a significant contributor though imo. Spectacular set of ears.

The league cited the insufferability of Bam Bam according to my sources. Not sure if they're reliable, though.

C'mon Danny make things interesting and work a trade dammit..
Take Boogie and Gay if you have to.

Sounds legit.
In all seriousness, this is another bad sign for a lockout next year. Based on that Basketball Insiders article, this may have been the single best year to be a FA.
Honestly, with the way the East has opened up this offseason, I think the Celts are the second or third best team. I'm totally fine with them riding it out this year with the current roster (assuming Amir and Jonas come back today)
Any deal they pushed for now would likely be bad value - there will be more options and available information at the deadline.

Bad teams pay a fortune to old and broken players.
kobe averaged 28 points per game at 34 lol
Wade isn't doing bad either at the same age.
Wade definitely isn't broken though.

Nor is he worth comitting 3 years of max money to.

Whiteside confirms he is still going to sign the deal with the Heat.
who gave wade 3 years of max money
SparkleMotion

That's what he wanted from Miami. He left because they wouldn't budge on giving him a 3rd year.
i'm sure he would have gone back to miami if they offered the same deal as chicago
