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.

  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?

  No, MJ's a little better than James so they'd be 11-7 or possibly 12-6. MJ would still be taking just as many shots as he had the year before and Wade and Bosh would be averaging about 14 points a game. They wouldn't have much of a future in the playoffs. With Paul or Kobe (both great outside shooters) the Heat would probably have 3-4 losses by now.
