Slight difference between Love's leadership and KG's though. If he doesn't convert he will be destroyed
With the addition of guard Ray Allen and forward Rashard Lewis, Miami Heat forward LeBron James believes the Heat can be "scary good." "We can be better than we were this past season," James said. "Are we better right now than we were just a couple of months ago? Of course not. But we've got time to get better. We have the potential to be better. We have the potential to be a lot better, and that is scary. USA Today
interesting to see if anyone thinks Miami picking up Lewis and RayRay still keeps them ahead of LA with the signing on Dwight and Nash?

However, a bit of a controversy flared up surrounding Deng’s decision to not have wrist surgery, which allowed him to continue playing for the Bulls last season, represent Great Britain in the Olympics and start the upcoming season on time. Deng is clearly weary of all of the debate, but while he’s learned to take the questions about his health in stride, the longest-tenured member of the Bulls is also very firm in his rationale not to have the procedure. “It took two questions before [the media asked about] the wrist,†he said Monday, while seated at the podium for the team’s media day. “The wrist is the wrist. It is what it is. I’m expecting to be asked about it all year, but I’ve just got to go out and play, play as hard as I can, do what I can do. Whether it’s one arm or two arms or no arms, I’m going to be the best that I can be. That’s the goal, just go out there and play as hard as I can. It felt great in the Olympics. Since I’ve been back practicing, it’s been feeling great and so far, so good. CSN Chicago
