magicbalala245 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0709/la_lakers_heat_576.jpgThere's a new Big Three standing in the way of the Lakers and a three-peat championship. LeBron James announced Thursday he will join his buddies Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, hoping to validate his nickname of "The King" by winning a ring and unseating the Lakers from their throne. Before it became official, Kobe Bryant addressed the new super squad with the Lakers firmly in its crosshairs on Wednesday from his camp in Santa Barbara, Calif. "You put a group of guys like that together, it's obviously extremely formidable," Bryant said. "You look at the Celtics and what they were able to do with their Big Three; absolutely they're a threat." LeBron James and Dwyane Wade might be the anchors of the super team with Chris Bosh, but until they unseat the Lakers, they will be looking up at a championship.A threat? Sure. But as much as the heat is on the Lakers to defend their title by beating the King and his two dukes next season, it's not like they'll be facing a fully formed empire.

Force Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well yeah..we're the defending champs. Miami has a bigger target on their back right now though...I think every team in the NBA wants to take them down first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 This isn't surprising to anyone... the Lakers big 3 can shut down Miami's big 3 PLUS the Lakers actually have a supporting cast, while Miami will be forced to add a bunch of minimum contract players and rookies.

The Regime Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I hope Shaq signs with the Heat so Bynum can punk his [expletive]. Lakers frontcourt would have a huge advantage if these two teams met in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artesticle Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I sincerely hope Bynum can stay healthy for once. That would be a HUGE advantage for us. Idk why, but I have a feeling he'll stay healthy next year. He's not working out in Atlanta this offseason, instead he's staying in LA to work on his core and conditioning to strengthen his body and prevent injuries. I'm optimistic but deep down inside I know I will be disappointed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 It's easy to say that when LBJ/Bosh/Wade haven't played an NBA game together. Say the Lakers are the team to beat halfway through the season, when either the Heat experiement fails or they're 42-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 We don't even have a roster lol. The fact that LA is talking so much about this team is just weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
