As above posters have indicated, LeBron is ideal paired with shooters, allowing him space to operate in the post. Bosh is crucial to their attack that way. If he can protect the rim (by adding the strength/weight he lost looking to play more PF), then the Heat have no problems.

Oden is nothing more than a low risk, high reward luxury that a team like the Heat can afford a roster spot to, but if he were to really return to his old form, the Heat would change their offense(and likely trade Bosh).

If I'm any team playing the heat, the minute oden steps on the court I'm going up tempo and running him. Especially in aplayoff series, if handled correctly he wont make it to a game 7. Condition is a huge part of the game and Pel fans saw it first hand with Gordon being out for just a year much less 4 years.

So, try to injure him by making him tire out? Seems cheap. Sounds like something the Spurs would do though.

Whats wrong with that? If you know someone has questionable mobility, why not try to speed the game up?

They need the quoted lineup for Indy Chicago and San Antonio. For certain match ups at certain points in playoff games. That is where the heat were exposed even though they won. A healthy oden ends that.


Hes played in 82 total games. Even if Oden is "healthy", at this point I'd still think Noah, Hibbert, West, and Duncan would have their way with him.

Maybe not Noah, since hes not really a scorer, but his mobility and activity on the floor would give a "healthy" Oden problems.
