Lebron was so good so fast in Cleveland that they never got another high lotto pick while he was there.


They were still a lottery team after his rookie year and they picked Luke Jackson with the 10th pick. The next year they were too and "After a promising start, the Cavs began a downward spiral that eventually led to the firing of coach Paul Silas and general manager Jim Paxson." They traded that pick for god knows what.

While OKC players may be good they are not 3 of the top 10 in the league. The Miami Big 3 are. Harden wasn't even an All-Star. Ibaka may be a defensive stud but both him and Perkins struggle to get 15 points combined.

You're right my bad. They got the 10th and 14th picks the first two years he was there. Still a huge difference from a 4th(Westbrook) and 3rd(Harden). They also got the 5th overall(Green) in the Allen trade, although that eventually became Perkins who sucks. Cmon now Bosh is not a top ten player in the league and neither is Wade anymore. And Harden might not be an all-star but Charlotte wanted him for the 2nd overall pick in the draft. Of course none of this addresses my original point. Btw, since you brought up the 08 Celtics,

Allen, Rondo, Pierce
Gasol, Bynum, Artest
Wade, Bosh

shite if rumors are true then Kobe, Nash, Gasol for the 2012-13 Lakers.

I don't see much advantage for the Heat there, if any
