Well if the idea is going to be "They'll get tons of open looks when teams double and triple Shaq," then they are just going to lose to the Pistons again, or if they get past the Pistons, they'll lose to the Spurs. Shaq is starting to break down, whether the Heat fans want to admit it or not. As a result fewer and fewer teams are going to be throwing double and triple teams and he's going to be on the floor less and less. And even with wide open looks I don't know how good you think Williams and Walker are at shooting the rock. The last few years teams have figured out that you can back off them and practically dare them to shoot and most of the time they can't and won't make you pay for it.
The only way this combination of guys won't hurt the team is if SVG or Riles can somehow get White Chocolate to not shoot so damn much and move towards being a pure point guard, more in the tradition of Jason Kidd, because there's no shortage of guys now who are going to want the ball...alot.

It'll be interesting to see how the minutes will be split between Haslem and Walker.

His body is broken (the idiot didn't take care of it because "I got mine and I've got other interests now) and it's going to get worse with each passing year. He also won't finish in the top two (probably 3) for league MVP ever again.
And let's not forget our new shooting coach (thanks George Karl, hehehe) which will improve our FT % and Tony's form.Quote:
