Udrih is injured and out for the year.

Minor details. Rabble rabble rabble.

Sure, or we could cheat a bit. Whatever it takes, I always say.

First season with the Heat, he averaged 26.7/7.5/7, Wade 25.5/6.4/4.6, and Bosh 18.7/8.3/1.9 (on just 13 FGA). Wade and Bosh are hardly spot up shooters, IMO.

And the team was a disappointment. The whole was much less than the sum of its parts. Wade and Bosh had to take a significantly lesser role in order for the team to succeed.

They had to decimate the roster to make room for the three FAs, and had no exceptions or draft picks to improve the team until the next season. They did make the finals

They were supposed to be Boston II and were nowhere near as successful out of the gate. Miami had arguably the two best perimeter defenders in the game with LeBron and Wade, and Bosh was no slouch in that department. They were a poor fit offensively but made up for it as a defensive nightmare -- you were a Chicago fan back then, so I know you know how Rose fared against them in the playoffs following his unstoppable MVP season.

Also, their biggest addition was probably Shane Battier who was, guess what, primarily a spot up shooter on offense.
