Bosh is a great scoring power forward..Heat will hire a Center to keep him a 4..Maybe a 3 on the wing…I don’t see him as muscle.. He can score

From Bill Simmons, an ESPN guy I really like.

You realize how many minutes these guys would log on a three-man team? About 42-44 minutes for 100 games … and if anyone missed an extended stretch of games, then that would put even more pressure on the other two. Crazy. No way they win more than 50, especially with teams gunning for them every night. We’ve also never seen two perimeter superstar alpha dogs coexist for an NBA title — not even when Jerry West and Elgin Baylor teamed up with Wilt Chamberlain against the aging Celtics in 1969. LeBron would have to accept becoming Mega-Pippen to Wade’s Jordan. (Yeah, right.)

Even during the final quarter of the 2008 gold-medal game, when everyone on the American team was staring at each other wondering who was going to step up against a red-hot Spain team, there were a few minutes of tentative, “I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes here” basketball before Kobe said, “Screw it, get out of my way” and took over the key portion of the game.

Well, at some point, Wade and LeBron will have one of those 2008 Spain moments … but what happens if both guys say, “Screw it, get out of my way”?
