 A. Iguodala, J. Holliday, and T. Young, for Lebron or Wade.

 If you were A Miami GM, talent wise is that something you would think about doing to make your team better now and down the road.

 And if not, plus one first round pick, how many people pull the trigger on that.

Terrible trade for Miami.  AI2 doesn't have an outside shot and it doesn't add size.

I don't think Philly does that one.

I'd have to look at the money

They do it in a heartbeat.

Why would Philly want to trade good young talent for a team killer/quitter?

Lets see, a guy that has won a title or a guy that has lead his team to the finals.  Yeah, they wouldn't give away an overpayed SG, a backup PF/SF and a 2nd year PG.

Led his team to the finals? And a 4 game sweep?  And where is he leading his team now?
And D Wade winning a title is a joke. Within a couple years of Shaq leaving that team won the draft lottery and picked 2nd overall.

The question is would Jrue, Andre, Thadeus and a first rounder help D Wade and Bosh win a title more easily than LeQueen. I think it's unquestionable. 

Paul Pierce exposed Lebron as overhyped 2nd tier talent.  Then he exposed himself as a quitter. 

Lebron may manage to ride D Wade's coattails to a ring or three, but Andre is no slouch and Jrue is a one of the top young pgs in the league, and Thaddeus is quality depth.

Let's look at this way.  If the Heat played the Sixers tomorrow who wins? Aha! Had to think about it, didn't you?

Name one thing those three have done but miss the playoffs.

How could Jru have done much in this league? It's his 2nd year.  And isn't it Thadeus' 3rd? Maybe 4th. 

So what would happen?  Lebron would team with Evan Turner and lead the last place Sixers to the finals and somehow be remarkably better than he was with Cleveland? 

He's Lebron. Not MJ (or Bird or Magic.)  Think Vince Carter but better passing and more hype.

To be fair I'm not really thinking Miami does the deal either.

Well seriously. What's the difference?  Is it that different? He's a little better rebounder too. Big whoop.

  Take Pippin off the Bulls and he's exactly MJ.

But he's got D Wade and Bosh now.  Would MJ be 10-8 with those guys with bickering going on? What would Paul Pierce or Kobe do with those guys?
