Is Chris Bosh Really The Heat's Problem?
Today I came across a quote from Shaquille O'neal during a telecast with NBA TV. He said The Heat only have a Big 2 (leaving out Chris Bosh).
This got me thinking....is Chris Bosh even the problem in Miami? My answer is...not at all.
From a team aspect, Chris Bosh isn't the problem. If I were to trade anyone in the Big 3, Bosh would be the untouchable one UNLESS you got an even better big man in return.
I would trade Lebron or Wade, not both, but one of them. Yes, Chris Bosh is the least talented of the three, but he's still a very good big man.
Having a very good big man and a deadly two guard is a VERY hard combination to beat. (Kobe/Shaq is a prime example of that)
The problem with the heat is, you throw ANOTHER superstar 2 guard/SF into the equation (Lebron or Wade) and your big man isn't getting the ball enough. Not too add, your back-court is fighting for the ball constantly because they need the ball in their hands.
Chris Bosh isn't the Heat's problem. Figuring out how to play Lebron and Wade together is the issue, and unless one of them commits to playing heavily off the ball, then that problem isn't getting solved without trading one of them.
