And of course the heat gutted their roster to the point that they don't have any salary matching assets for a S&T. Would a team be willing to dump a contract they don't want so the Heat could use the player (along with maybe a pick) in a S&T with Cleveland or Toronto? Even if that were the case, why would the Cavs or the Raptors want that player on their cap?
The Bulls and the Knicks have the same problem to a lesser extent (they at least have Deng and Lee respectively). The Knicks are used to sucking but Miami and Chicago could very well end up worse than they were before if they can't lure the right players. Those teams that created cap space are basically making an all in bet. It's going to be fun to watch.

i agree man. i don't care how much they make 30 million is still 30 million. a guy like Bosh can maybe make some of that back in endorsements in NY. but it's one of the best things we have going in our favor. that an owner thats willing to spend. and one of the top 5 or 10 players in the league :P
