after Bosh departs for Houston (if he does), who is going to rebound?  Bosh never did, Lebron never does, and neither does Wade, so, irrespective of who they might get to play center for them, they're going to get exposed very quickly, even in the east, and especially by Indiana.  Let's examine their potential starting lineup -

C - ?
PF - Carmelo
SF - Lebron
SG - Wade
PG - Napier

I realize that Carmelo is actually a pretty good rebounder at the 4, but they're always going to be undersized, not that I'm complaining, of course ;D  Does anyone else see a major potential problem here?

Not sure how Miami would ever make the salaries work.  Both Bron and Melo have made it known they are looking for max deals.

And without a defensive center not sure about the fit here.  Wade is redundant and because he is the one player Miami is not moving, he'd really have to take a hit in money and role within the offense.  Not likely to happen, IMHO.

Yeah poor lakers... i'm sure they'd hate making the playoffs and winning 50+... which Melo has basically done every single season he's been in the NBA aside from last year.

I think he means the drama that would surely ensue as a result of having two ballhogs on the team.

I'd love to see the Lakers make the playoffs and exit in the first round, which Melo has done almost every season of his career (8 out of 11, I believe).

Yeah, that's my feeling as well.  How could they possibly coexist on the court?  It's not like Kobe and Carmelo compliment each other, for starters.
