Im not in favor of it, since I like competition, but if my teams GM puts us in position to add a couple of superstars, I should be against it? So Rockets fans should have petitioned the team to not go after Howard? When was the last time a team one a title with one star player, and a bunch of nobodies? LeBron almost did it with the Cavs, but he had absolutely no help, and got killed by the Spurs.
The city and the team go hand in hand in regards to parity. If you have the Bucks for example, trying to sign the same player the Heat, for example, are, at the same contract amount, which team is that player going to pick? NOBODY wanted to play with LeBron in Cleveland, that was a well known fact. Have you been to Cleveland? I wouldnt want to be a professional player on a long term deal there. He didnt go to Miami to "fix the NBA," he went there because that was the best opportunity for him, and his family. Which is what every free agent looks for.
LeBron is not going to LA, lets get that out on the table. LeBron will either stay with Miami, or go back to Cleveland, that is all. My money is on Miami, because they have the best president/GM in the game, works well with Spoelstra, and the team will be able to retool around his needs.
And you keep bringing up collusion? Where is the collusion? Were you with these three players when they talked about joining the Heat? Bosh and Wade were meeting together when they were both free agents, so I dont see any collusion there.
