So even though a Cleveland team with a less polished LBJ and no one else nearly as good as Bosh was consistently a contender, a more polished LBJ + Bosh (not to mention their outstanding record in games Wade missed) couldn't have won it all?? So basically what you're saying is you don't think LBJ is a legendary player because legendary players can win it all with a Chris Bosh caliber player as their sidekick. Duncan would have won rings with Bosh as the #2 player, so would Jordan, so would Bird, etc...hell, Hakeem didn't even have a teammate of Bosh's caliber in '94...now, I'm not saying it would have been a sure thing because the #3-12 players on that team would have been crappy, but it certainly is very possible.
And also, as for centers, I'll give you Chandler and Marc Gasol as well, so as goofy as it may sound, Gortat IS more than likely a top-5 center in the NBA.
And you really think Wade and his redundant talents help that squad more than a dynamite PG like Lawson would?
