Not the case here buddy... The NBA is not a video game, cohesion is a HUGE part of winning a championship (who cares about regular season)... This will not be as successful as you think...

Heat fans are going to find out the meaning of the word "chemistry" as it relates to a team very quickly. As a Laker fan who celebrated the day when Karl Malone & Gary Payton joined Shaq, Kobe and the rest of the Lakers in 2004, I was loving it when they started the season 25-3 and hating it when they got their asses kicked in the finals by a Detroit team with real chemistry.
The burden of expectations has never been higher than the one that is now placed on this Heat team. LeBron's massive ego has put him in a situation where anything less than several championships in a row is a complete and total failure of epic proportions.
So LeBron wants his legacy to be that of a champion......Consider this LeEgo, NONE of the great champions in NBA history ever did what you just did to try and win a championship. They all did it with one team, usually the team they started on or were traded to very early in their careers.
LeBron is nothing but a pathetic, ego-maniac ring chaser. IMHO he wants the rings only to add to his global brand and wealth, not stoke the fuel of his competitive fire. In my book, that is no champion, that is a glory hound. His statements last night were full of selfishness and rampant egomania.
Something tells me Kobe would give up all of his endorsement money in a heartbeat if it would guarantee him more championships.
/rant (sorry but I had to get it off my chest. LeBron is a disgrace)

One ball in this game... and both Wade and James need that ball 80% of the time to be effective. One of them will need to change their game up.
James has no Post-game to speak of. In the last 7 years, he has failed to develop that part of his game and he hasn't developed his mid-range game at all.
I'd be very surprised if they beat the Magic or Boston in the playoffs. It can definitely happen though...
