Rashard Lewis to the Heat

If the Heat can stay healthy, expect another Heat title next season...

yes true Mick but how open are Lewis and or Allen's looks going to be with Bosch, Wade and James all on the court?

For next season that East won't be all that much, Derrick Rose won't be himself until at least 2013/14. The Knicks are a mess, the players don't compliment each other much at all. With Houston 90% likely to receive Dwight Howard overnight, the Nets won't have the firepower to match. Celtics won't have the footspeed to match the Heat on the Perimeter.
This undersized Heat lineup is going to cause nightmares for the Lakers and Thunder.
How is Gasol going to defend either LeBron or Ray Allen (assuming he starts at SF). Bosh would have a mismatch over Bynum with footspeed, and there's no perimeter depth on the Lakers part to adequately run small at this stage.
The reason the Heat beat the Thunder was because of the undersized lineup, the bigs in the west can't defend the Heat at all with the smaller lineup.
Granted the mismatches go against the Heat as well, but they've shown to have the defensive structures down pat to sufficiently deal with the problem, no one else has shown that yet.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Lewis-LeBron-Allen/Battier-Wade-Chalmers lineup at stages, particulary against the Thunder, who have no legit post presence. Perkins and Ibaka would have to stretch out to Lewis and another shooter, or run Durant as the big man, which means that Harden would be matched on Lebron or Wade (and we saw how that worked out).

Champ, Knicks needed Nash IMO to gel them all. They will be lucky to survive the first round again!

Would have loved to see Gaze in his prime get a shooting gig in a side like this. Paxxson & Kerr are good examples.I can see why Ray Allen has gone there. These guys have the East sewn up & the Lakers are looking great in the West!! Gonna be a great season...

I'd say his shooting % will go well up on last year...his team mates are of a slightly higer standard. And if it doesn't work out he is only signed for the vet min so not much to lose.
