Lebron
Wade
Its (or should I say was) Wade's team. He already said he doesnt plan to change his role this coming season. Lebron however is a two time MVP. He's a better player than Wade. I have a feeling that Lebron is going to be Miami's best player next season. Without the pressure of being the "only" option in his team, Lebron can focus his strengths on defense and playmaking while still averaging a very respectable 25 points per game.
My vote goes to Lebron here. I think he'll surprise a lot of people next year. Critics are counting him out saying he'll be Wade's Robin. I beg to differ.
25

Why is Rogue in the butthurt committee?
We are reviewing your application as I post. Will be in touch soon.
I agree with this. I think LeBron will be the best player on the team, but Wade will still be the leader while LeBron will be viewed by many as the sidekick even if he outplays Wade. Plus, I think LeBron will sacrifice his scoring more than Wade and people often look at PPG to determine the best player on a given team.
When Wade takes over the 4th and tells Lebron to defer, Wade will prove its his team.
You're quite the genius, aren't you, you er you.
Sounds more like it.
Lebron joined Wade's team not the other way around. He will focus on his strengths and Wade will lead the way to yet another le. Lebron is Robin and by coming to the Heat he knew and accepted it.
indeed, and that will prove true in the playoffs...but if you're looking for regular season heroics, LeBron will be the best.
Where is bosh???!
Lebron will be the best player on the team, just not the leader of the team. He is not really a sidekick as he is the best on the team though.
I think that Wade will probably end up leading the team in scoring, but Lebron will sacrifice some scoring, while his rebounding and assist #s go up. I think Lebron has a great shot at averaging a triple double for a whole year. I expect Bron to have stats in the range of 25/10/11 at least once during their years together.
It will be like Kobe and Shaq used to be. 1a and 1b just depending on whos hot, and the matchups presented.
You might be right about assists, but Lebron isn't gonna average 10 rebounds a game, at least he shouldn't anyway. Lebron should be out on the perimeter defending the other team's best player. If he's averaging 10 boards a game it means Bosh and whoever they have at center aren't doing their job.
Offense won't be the issue for this team at any point during a game. Between Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and the shooters they have around them, they'll be able to score enough points, regardless of whether or not Wade is the scorer and Lebron is the playmaker or visa versa. The big question is how they will play defense. Will they become a great half court defensive team that can get stops down the stretch, or will they try and be a gimmicky defensive team that goes for a ton of blocks and steals and cares more about creating fastbreaks than getting stops.
IMO both will yield to each other and will play as a team. Heat will play as one or at least try to for a while. Until one of the rooks uses Bron's momma as a blow up doll
I think Bron has a shot at 10 boards simply because I think they will be pusing the tempo alot more, resulting in more opportunities. Plus, they don't really have any dominant rebounders. Bosh is good, but definitely not a dominant guy on the glass. I think Bron is the best rebounder on the team, and if he really wanted to, could easily average 12+ a game because of his unmatched athletic ability. His playing style obviously hasn't allowed him to, but if he adjusts, like he is going to need to, I definitely see his rebounds increasing, potentially to double digits.
As for defense, I think with the type of athletes they have in Bron, Wade, and Bosh, they should generally stick with the gimmicky style of defense, although against other elite teams, they are going to have to knuckle up and play lockdown defense, which I think they are capable of doing.
