Heat to target Carmelo?

I see there is already a thread about Bron joining Carmelo in NY but since this is a completely different scenario I figured it deserved its own thread.

The Miami Heat's immediate focus remains overcoming a 2-1 NBA Finals deficit to the San Antonio Spurs, but discussions have begun within the organization about trying to grow their so-called Big Three into a Big Four, according to sources close to the situation. Sources told ESPN.com that Heat officials and the team's leading players have already started to explore their options for creating sufficient financial flexibility to make an ambitious run at adding New York Knicks scoring machine Carmelo Anthony this summer in free agency. The mere concept would require the star trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to all opt out of their current contracts by the end of the month and likely take further salary reductions in new deals that start next season to give Miami the ability to offer Anthony a representative first-year salary. The Heat also are prevented from making any formal contact with Anthony until July 1 and can do so then only if he opts out of the final year of his current contract. Anthony has until June 23 to notify the Knicks of his intentions, according to sources.

The current trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would have to opt out and restructure their deals to make this work to give Miami a Big Four. Plus, the salary cap is expected to go up next season, which will help Miami in a big way. LeBron is also "likely to try to recoup potential salary sacrificed through fresh off-court business opportunities," according to the report. Melo has a June 23 deadline to let the Knicks know if he'll opt out of the final year of his deal. You can expect an update on him every day until then.

That team would have unreal expectations.

LeBron would be Carmelo's Pippen.

I don't see how carmelo fits in. They're talking about restructuring but I don't see how that can possibly happen and maintain a team with any semblance of depth.

Please make it happen

Might as well add Kevin Love too
Posted on 6/11/14 at 7:24 pm to c on z
They would shatter the bulls 72-10 record

There goes the Heat's acclaimed offensive efficiency and ball movement.

Spo will whip Melo's defense into shape.

that team wouldnt win shite..thats just to many stars..not enough ball to go around..
Posted on 6/11/14 at 7:39 pm to Hat Tricks
All they would need is Darko and they would have the first 5 picks of the 2003 draft.

The key to all of this is wade
This is probably his last real contract

I have no idea how that would work. Carmelo would not like being the second or third best player on a team. He cares more about himself than the team.

I don't know. When they aren't out running, having that 1 on 1 iso ball hog who can score at will like Melo would be a nice luxury for the Heat.

Shatter? Not in the first year or ever. And spo can make carmelo play defense but that doesn't give them useful bodies on the bench
