 Here's an interesting piece written by Michael Rosenberg at SI.

This is not how sports are supposed to work, and it is really not how the NBA is supposed to work. The league is set up so its best players play against each other, not with each other, every spring.

Arranging a superteam would be the easiest path to a championship for LeBron, but it would not be the best path. In fact, it would backfire on him.

This WAS a good article.  Thanks for the post.

The main idea is that Lebron may win championships as a member of super team with D Wade and Bosh but by spurning the Cavs he will make a lot of enemies, and will prove that he couldn't do it on his own.  Jordan of course had Pippen, Kobe had Shaq (and vice versa), but Lebron may end up as the A-rod the the yankees Jeter if he goes to Miami.
