none of the contract terms have been released. nobody knows what sort of paycuts the 3 are taking. Apparently Mike Miller is on board, and probably more. We'll see I guess.

Kobe did the exact same thing in a Game 7 in the first round against the Suns in like 2006. He didn't shoot basically the entire fourth as the Lakers blew that game.

Miller's a great pickup. A crunch time five of Wade, Miller, LeBron, Bosh and whoever at center will be so tough to stop offensively. I'd go after one more shooter too so you can small at times with Bosh at the five and just really spread teams out.

I was thinking a Kurt Thomas type to play C against the Bynums and Dwight Howards of the league. Good on D, limited offensively. Perfect for that team. Take him out and you run small with Bosh at the 5.

I actually think Redick would have been a better choice than Mike Miller though.

Question - If the sign-and-trade for Bosh between Miami and Toronto goes through, does that amount count toward the Heat's cap? I would guess that it wouldn't, but I'm not sure how that works.

I'm not completely versed on the issue, but I don't think it changes the cap number, just how much Bosh gets.

Miller's been in the league longer, he can take a little below his actual value. This is Redick's chance at a big payday, he needs to follow the money this year, but they're both outstanding shooters although Miller is a little more versatile defensively. But yeah they need a couple big, good rebounding, good defensive centers, and NOT Shaq.

The moral of the story: Stay in school.

Wade: 3 years at Marquette
Bosh: 1 year at Georgia Tech
The kid from Akron: no college

The most educated guy convinced his dumber friends to come play on his team for less money.
