PG- M.Chalmers

Bench:
C- J. Anthony
PF- U. Haslem
SF- J. Jones

With prob a couple of guards to come.

Go Miami! :D

Juwan Howard and Carlos Arrayo will be added shortly.

It's going to be interesting to see what they trot out with. Wade was in the press a couple days ago saying the starting PG job is "Chalmers' to lose" so at this stage I'd say it's a bit too early to call.

I personally think they would be best having Miller come off the bench to lead the second unit, as there's not a lot of wing / guard depth currently and he can also create shots for others. Chalmers would also be their best option to defend the quicker points in the league (Rose, Rondo, Paul, Nash, Parker etc) to save Wade's legs for offence, at least to start games.

One thing is clear though, they have plenty of options. They could go big (Z-Bosh-James-Miller-Wade), small (Bosh-James-Miller-Wade-Chalmers), defensive (Z-Haslem-James-Wade-Chalmers), 3-point (James-Jones-Miller-Wade-Chalmers), crunch-time (Bosh-James-Miller-Jones-Wade).

I really like that 3-point line-up, running a P&R with Wade & James and having Jones, Miller & Chalmers spotting up. Wouldn't be able to play them more than a few minutes due to the defensive issues but would be fun a couple of times a game to see!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bosh and Miller start on the bench in some games.

And having James and Wade start...then after 8 minutes, Bosh and Miller replace them so they always have 2 star players on the court at all times.

Yeah I could see that. I'm sure with the mostly C-grade (and below) players they've signed to fill out the roster that the plan is to save the legs of Wade, James & Bosh for the playoffs, and not risk losing any of them to injury in a meaningless January game.

Yeah I wanted to put in Howard but he hadn't signed as of when I posted that although I hear it's official now, Arroyo will def join as well (I would love to see Eddie House added as well I rate that bloke). The team looks awesome to me! :D

Maybe in a year or two. I don't believe they will next season (their first together), but should they win a championship together, I believe they will target that whilst trying to defend their title.

I don't think so. They could get 70, but 72 is insane. That was a pretty weak league in 1995/96, a lot of bad teams which I think there are less of today with all the international talent.

If they could match 72 that almost justifies LeBron's decision :lol:
