Heat can expect Sacre, Steve Blake and a second rounder to make things fair. | ||

That said, I don't think Lebron is moving anywhere. He actually seems happy in Miami. | ||

Edit: The luxury tax changes in 2013-2014, so hopefully someone can explain it because I surely don't know. Edit 2: And to add, pretty much the last notable FA, Leandro Barbosa, signed with Boston. | ||

Plus the Buss family will have their minor-league team in Orlando draft them their next big star this offseason or the next...all's good for LA. lol Boston just racking up the backcourt guys ^^. A good signing for the vet minimum tho imo. | ||

Either they all opt out, and re-sign for less again, or one of them will have to bail (and best spot to go to when Kobe retires is the Lakers because he's pretty much 1.5 max contracts). It was probably all those logical checkpoints and a bunch of assumptions that summed up to the sensational title of "lol Lebron to the Lakers?" Edit: The luxury tax changes in 2013-2014, so hopefully someone can explain it because I surely don't know. Edit 2: And to add, pretty much the last notable FA, Leandro Barbosa, signed with Boston. Starting in 2013 the luxury tax will no longer be a $1 for $1 situation. The tax will be $1.50 for every $1 above the tax. If that isn't severe enough, teams that were paid the tax the previous year "Repeat offenders," will pay $2.50 per $1 over the tax until they hit the $5million thresh. After that it gradually ramps up. I believe the current Lakers would be paying $85 million in taxes if we were new tax laws kicked in today. Hilarious. Nevertheless, teams will pay the tax to a point. That point is the best player in 20 years, the best or second best 2 guard in 20 years and this magnificent bastard: + Show Spoiler + | ||

Look at the proposed trade towards the bottom. Boston would have exploded in a riot. | ||

Nice little read on here, even if just this beginning part: Since the start of Michael Jordan's first title run, only two teams have won the championship while ranking outside the top 10 in points allowed per possession: the 2000-01 Lakers and the 1994-95 Rockets. Those Lakers famously relaxed for much of the regular season before flipping the switch during a devastating playoff run, while the repeat Rockets changed the entire complexion of their team at the trade deadline in the Clyde Drexler–Otis Thorpe deal. They are each anomalies in their own way. In that same 20-plus-year span, only 15 teams have even advanced to the conference finals while ranking outside the top 10 in points allowed per possession — less than one per season. All but two of those teams ranked among the league's top three offenses,1 and seven topped the league in points scored per possession; the Steve Nash Suns alone take up three of these slots. In other words: Teams that are even just average defensively have very little chance of doing much damage in the postseason unless they score at a lights-out rate. The reverse also applies, though not quite as strongly; most studies have found that an elite defense is slightly more important to building a champion than an elite offense.
