LeBron might have found a home, but that doesn't mean the free agent carousel won't stop spinning.

Yeh Cleveland isn't handling it well, I was there last week, they were burning Lebron Jersey in the streets and arcade parking lots.
honestly...I'm not surprised at all that Lebron went elsewhere...since the end of the season, the free agency is all that's been talked about, yet Cleveland didn't show any initiative at all to get anyone else to help Lebron for next season, which is probably why he went elsewhere...yes, he's an awesome player, a player unlike any before him...but he's not going to be able to do it alone...yes, they acquired Shaq, but how much did Shaq really help when it counted? lil' to none...had Cleveland decided to get into the running to sign one of the big names that was on the free agency block, then perhaps that would've went completely different...however, Lebron showed extremely poor taste by making a national spectacle of the event

I don't think firing your head coach and the GM resigning constitutes as helping the team lol.
Anyway, Heat has added Haslem, Z and Mike Miller.. They still need a powerful center seeing Z and Bosh are sorta liabilities on the defensive end.

I lost all my respect for the city of Cleveland, which wasn't much...
i never liked cleveland or lebron james they both suck
There are boundaries for people actions. It's not all LeBron's fault he never won a ring in Cleveland, you have to put some blame to the people they put around him. Which didn't help him achieve a ring.
I would have went to Miami too, for God's sake. It's the best opportunity to win a ring.
When there were great trios in NBA history, people still highly praised that team. Obviously, this was created mainly by the players, and the prior was created primarily by the front office, but it's the same idea. If they win rings, they will be praised. If not now, then in the future.

Pat Riley was the architect for this whole plan. He got Bosh and Wade together and it enticed LeBron enough to go play in Miami for less money for, now, the best opportunity he has had to win a ring.
LA and Boston are getting older, but, they'll still be hard for Miami to beat, as they both are elite teams. Wade, LBJ and Bosh need to win a ring to be considered an elite team. Right now they're a 'paper' elite team.
That who they should entice. A big guy down low.
And Kevin Durant won't be apart of Free Agency-palooza 2011. He signed an extension with OKC, a good idea because with the current CBA agreement drawling to a close, he gets more guaranteed money now, then he would've a year from now.

He'll help out the Warriors a ton. Lee is a really dynamic player.
