Somebody taller than their small forward

lol this

but seriously
I didnt mean an all star or a great player. Just a player that is actually a legit center, like Kwame Brown. Cheap but has legit size and presence in the paint
They're better off having him there than playing Bosh at 5, LeBron at 4.

Eddy Curry must have nothing for Spo to not even give him a chance.

This. I wanna see what he can do. Lol.

As far as future centers for the Heat, someone like the sucky Lopez brother is who I had in mind.

Or in the draft in the late first, Fab Melo.

dont think so
I expect Miami to get a legit 5 this off season and continue to play LeBron at the 3, play Bosh at the 4.

Let Bosh play 3?

Lol

Dude does have a legit J.

Yeah, they should go for a 7-foot front court and move Lebron to 3 as the game dictates but start him at Point. Bosh at 3 plus two defensive 7-footers would make this team unstoppable.

I don't know why they didn't post Bosh up or let him turn and face when Lebron went out. No way any of OKC's bigs can defend him that far out.

LOL at Miami! I can't remember a team that will win a championship yet it still be unimpressive.

"Not 1, not 2,..." comment will really make Lebron's 1st ring a meh.

Wilbon said it perfectly at the half. OKC appeared as if they were hoping to win whereas Miami appeared as if they know they are going to win. OKC better come up with a better defensive gameplan and more offensive movement to free up Ibaka from some easy dunks for about 10-15 points.

"@chadfordinsider: This Wizards-Hornets trade screams Bradley Beal at No. 3. Adding Okafor & Ariza should eliminate TRob & MKG"

A John Wall and Bradley Beal backcourt is going to be awesome

Whats up with Ariza I thought he was a good player with the Lakers but now he's been traded like 3 times since he left.

I thought he struggled last year, didn't he get benched a couple times?
Either way, he's not worth his contract. 7 mill a year for the next 2 years
