:wtf:

How can you say that when Durant has already made the finals and T-Mac has never made it out the first? I hope you just talking about in terms of being injury prone, but even then Durant has been pretty durable so you're basing that on nothing but a hunch :wtf: ....

Sure, Durant can at least contend for a title for years IF the core remains intact. Usually the window for a title incredibly short for most teams, but the fact that this team is so young means they can contend for a long fukking time and only get better which is fukking scary:sadcam:. A title does seem like barring they lose players to free agency or injury.

The back to back scoring titles, and lets face it..kd35 doesn't have that good of a squad to win a title :manny: if they dont win next year that window is going to start to close...breh needs to be more aggressive and quit relying on perimeter shooting, and get into the weight room

It will probably be a little easier to deal with the Heat in a few more years than it is now. Assuming they don't make any major moves.

I don't think Bron and especially Wade have the jumpshot to carry their game once they start to slow down and lose their legs. Bron will still be a good player, but Wade will be borderline useless once he loses that last bit of athleticism and that can happen any day now, i can only imagine him at 35. He would literally have no way of scoring consistently.

Have you seen that when all three signed their deals two years ago, they have a player option after the 2013/14 season. They did that for cap flexibility in case the CBA would not work out well on the salary cap. You can bet your bottom dollar that if they are winning titles, Lebron will opt out and take a huge pay cut to bring in a 4th impact player that will be a good second/third option. By then, Lebron will be making so much more money from endorsements he wouldn't care about the Heat money. Dwade will opt out too and will be 32 that year, will sign an economically friendly 3 year deal and retire at 35. Bosh or the 4th player to come will most likely be the highest paid players on the team by that time. Since Bosh does not eat off endorsements like Wade and Lebron.

They are playing for their legacy and the more championships you have, the more of a legend you become. Word to Big Shot Bob. :krs:

If they move Westbrook to shooting guard and start Maynor they would be even better offensively. And get rid of Scott Brooks he sucks at making in game adjustments.

Who u gonna get better than Scotty Brooks a coach who has shown improvement every year. Ony two coaches i would think about getting rid of him for are Phil and Jerry Sloan. And we know KD loves him so he ain't going nowhere no time soon. Plus we know the scrub ass or role playing former NBA players always end up as great coaches.

You cant assume other teams in the west are going to remain dorment, teams realise how much of a threat OKC is now and will make neccesary moves to counter whatever they do be it through the draft or free agency. Like someone said nothing is set in stone you cant predict the future, it would be nice for him to win one tho :manny:

:rudy:

Let's see how good the Heat are in 2016 when Wade is :flabbynsick:

By then, Durant will be 27 & where Bron is now (prime/peak, etc). Derrick Rose too.

I hope not. Its amazing that Lebron can move and jump the way he does and he had no knee problems at 260+ lbs. Dude doesn't even wear a knee sleeve. He must receive maintenance on the low from kobe's doctor every off season. :krs:
