Agree 100%. If you can't enjoy watching Lebron or Wade, that's a shame.

Well then they need to break up the LeBron, Wade, and Bosh team because it gives an unfair advantage to other teams. All of the owners should unite together on this. They have 2 of the top 5 players in the league and 3 of the top 10. That is unfair!! Sterns should break up the team point blank!!.

Papabear, the reason the heat are able to affored LeBron, Wade, and Bosh and still be under the cap is because they first drafted Dwayne Wade. That enabled them to have his bird rights. They resigned him to max money and it didnt count against their cap, because well they're bird rights. With talent like Wade and a city like miami, which sells itself, they were able to attract two great free agents to their team. They then had the room to sign LeBron to max money and still sign Bosh to max money. They even still had the room to pay pretty decent role players and still, all of this while under the cap.
Now they have a pretty good shot at a championship or even championships.
Kinda makes me wish Knicks management and ownership was as smart

Having Bird rights enables a team to resign and go over the cap (while still counting against the cap). Signing Lebron and Bosh at the same time as Wade resigned, the Heat still had to fit them under the cap. So I am not sure I understand what you are saying.

It counts against your cap when it comes to paying dollar for dollar luxury tax under the current cba it is matching the dollar for dollar provision of the old agreement. However, it doesnt count against being able to sign roll players if one of their max players was signed under his bird rights. That is how the Heat are able to afford a good roll player like, say Mike Miller. Well they will be able to afford him up until the 2013-2014 season that is. That is when his salary will make the heat pay significantly more into the new tiered tax to the NBA, at which point he will probably be amnestied. But the point is the Heat had the flexibility to sign three max players and good roll players because Wade is signed under his bird rights. He is signed under his bird rights because he was drafted by the same team he is playing for now. If he was any other max player without bird rights the heat would not be able to sign said player and good roll players. It would be an either/or situation.
